Hi All,

I have a bit of an issue I can't put my finger on and I am hoping the SAU community can help.

I recently imported a 33 GTR and when I drive the car and keep it at a steady 3500 rpm there's a miss. Below and over 2500 rmp the car runs ok. Having said that the fuel consumption is very bad and there's plenty of back fire in normal driving.

I have done my home work and searched on this site and Google and the below have been helpful but not solved my issue.

What I have done:

  • Changed spark plugs to NGK BCPR7ES which I chose after reading a thread on SAU
  • Changed the fuel filter
  • Changed the CAS
  • Changed the pod filters to airbox
  • Changed AFM
  • Changed BOV's and checked piping was on tight
  • Changed the coil packs and sealed them with dielectric goo as the YouTube video suggested

The car sounds a little rough on idle but I am not sure if this is because the cam timing as the in was set to 0 and ex 2 degrees retarded. I noticed this when I did a full service on the car and I changed my timing belt. HKS cam gears came as a surprise. (the car was missing before the service)

The only thing I haven't changed is my injectors and fuel reg as one of the topics said that possibly could be the issue.

Before I start removing the fuel rail, injectors and reg is there anything else that could be causing this issue?

All your input will be greatly appreciated as I am stumped!

Thanking everyone in advanced.

Most likely a vacuum/boost leak.

Last time i had a miss it was the igniter module, in my case it was above 3500 but sounded like the wide spark gap or faulty coil pack issue.

In your case with backfire it sounds more like a Vacuum or boost leak, you need to check your hoses and pipes first.

Thanks guys!

I think you might be right about the vacuum leak as I believe the brakes are not as good as they should be. I have found a workshop that has a vac leak tester (think it's called a smoke test) and have a booking on Monday.

Having said that though I used carby cleaner and sprayed around hoses but I didn't notice anything.

Will keep you posted on the results/ solution.

Dead or failing o2 sensors do all those things...

Hi Trent,

Thanks for your response. Does the engine light come on when an 02 sensor fails? Currently I don't have the warning light. Also, if I plug a diagnostics tool will I be able to tell if the O2 sensor is failing?

Thanks.

.. r33 GTR missing at 3500rpm!

2 questions:

- Where did it go? I assume it came back/

- Do you have a picture of the flux capacitor install?

Cheers

Justin

LMFAO! :yes: I'll pay that one.

Just unplug them and see if the miss is gone. This is called open loop.

Oh I already did this a few weeks ago and the miss was still there. :unsure:

What do you mean by brakes not as good as they should be?

As in making hissing (or bubbling) noise when it comes to complete stop as you'd felt on the pedal?

Do the brakes get better with a few hard stops or do they fade? It is worth changing your brake fluid (any new fluid but something like Motul best). Otherwise a change of pads might be indicated. They could be track pads which don't pull up well when cold or they could be just rubbish pads (have a read of the brakes section for some suggestions) - I bought Pagid but they are quite expensive and there are other types that people like.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) clogged cat

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.

      When I was replacing my pump due to being stranded in the wrong state, I went with the Deatschwerks 320lph kit. It is a direct plug in to the stock wires, harness, everything. It comes with a plug... but you can plug the OEM plug directly into this thing. https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD Downside: Won't actually flow that much on boost if you want to push it on E85, but it's comparable to the 040/255 etc. Little more actually.
