Hi Guys i got a problem with my car reving past 4-5 rpms... it starts to splatter... sounds like the pistons is goin to blow out of the block...

R33

RB25 DET

slight mods

- airfilter

- 3 inch all the way

- 9 - 10 psi.

only started not too long after i installed a FMIC.

also my fuel lid isn't pressurized. the seal is cracked would this do anything?

also just had a full 80K service.. all new iridium sparks still not sure why its doin this...

- Even one cracked coil can cause a lot of hesitation!

- i was getting it between 4500 - 5500 rpm, and after that it was all good, it would rev out nicely...

- When i taped mine the problem went away, but after a week or two, came back b/c the tape shrunk on the coils, exposing parts of the crack once again

- I would be doing this to ALL of the coils, regardless of wheather there is a crack there or not, as it could crack soon anyhow as the others have....

umm... this sounds like wats happening exactly..... (4500 - 5500 rpm) but just a question wat is hesitation? its not like back fire is it? not poping from exhaust right?

Yeah, that's what I was implying with that post. It pops, and misfires at around that point at WOT.

Even if you fix your coils, at higher boost, best case scenario is that instead of popping and misfire, you will get a flat spot at around that point.

You will need a new ECU, or a SAFC to retune your air to fuel ratios, as they get VERY rich at around that point with higher boost. I think that timing gets retarded too b/c of the overfuelling, hence the massive flat spot / misfire.

Even with a SAFC, b/c it runs leaner after a tune, the timing does not suffer as much. I only have a SAFC, and I have NO flatspot. In fact, where the flat spot used to be, there is actually a tiny surge or power.

Below is a pic of my dyno graph before and after the SAFC. (Note on the first run - green, my tuner backed off b/c the A/F ratios went crazy. Then sensor he was using to measure the A/F ratios was buggered and he replaced it after a couple of runs.)

Hey Zahos

I am running 12psi and have an SAFC2. It been running great for months. Then on the weekend the car developed the same misfire you guys are talking about. popopop at around 5000rpm and a short drop in power. When I dropped the boost to 10 psi, the problem went away. The spark plugs should be fine as they are new. Would this be a sign the coil packs are on there way out?

    • It can't be some stupidly proprietary video signal coming out of it that only Nissan's can understand. Surely you can just find some generic camera to stuff in there and use hot melt glue/blu-tac/gaffer tape to hold it in place if need be?
    • Update: Tunehouse looked into the problem and identified a wiring issue between the camera unit and the connector. They managed to get it working , but did warn me at some point it will stop working again. From their perspective it is unserviceable and will need replacement. They did some research and found that the new replacement camera would be Approx $1400 supply only (their fitting cost would be $190) . They did provide the part number (28442-JL05B) and a quick google of the part number shows that these are rather expensive brand new (seemingly no longer in manufacture) for the places that still have them in stock, with the used option potentially presenting  the same issue down the track at some unknown point. They are happy for me to supply the part so that they can fit it. Decisions, decisions... I can definitely recommend Tunehouse (thankyou Vee37!). Cost for the diagnosis was as quoted  ($190) , car was ready on time and communication was top notch. Their workshop is super clean and modern, and there was plenty of car candy parked out the front on the day I went.   Would definitely go back.   
    • to fix the voltage drop issue I swapped out the old 150amp alternator which turns out is a brand known for having issues and replaced it with the black 180amp alternator beside it 
    • For anyone interested, the Way Back Machine has that Japanese website archived with pictures, etc: https://web.archive.org/web/20051023225805fw_/http://www.a31cefiro.com/air_con.htm "Simply swapping the wiring of the harness will not allow it to function properly. For the outdoor air sensor and sunlight sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN1-11 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. For the indoor air sensor, disconnect the wiring connected to CN2-3 of the air conditioning harness from the harness and connect the sensor side wiring to earth. The connector PIN numbers listed here are the genuine A31 PIN numbers. To avoid incorrect wiring, check with a tester before wiring. Also, disconnect the wiring in a location close to the sensor. The disconnected harness side wiring will not be used, so be sure to insulate it." Wish someone sold a conversion harness to just plug-and-play a Kouki 180sx digital climate control into C33/A31. I'm decent with wiring but feeling kinda lazy about taking this on. Edit: Did some more digging and found a helpful Minkara blog post about the conversion as well: https://minkara.carview.co.jp/userid/1831116/car/1360568/2284209/note.aspx "After installation is complete or the battery is replaced, you need to go into self-diagnosis mode and set the internal air recirculation. The way to do it is to "hold OFF with the key on for more than 5 seconds, set the number to 5, then press 卍→C." ↑↑↑It probably won't make sense unless you actually try it (・∀・)." Lol wtf
    • Maybe SAUNSW could see howany members would do a motorkhana day if Schofield's is still available for a reasonable price...
