my 1993 r33 S1 is doing the same thing but this is what i have done

tried different fuel pump, changed fuel filter, had fuel injection flush for 9 hours, AIR Flow metre, O2 sensor, changed all my coilpacks with 2nd hand ones that have done 29000kms, changed ignitor coil, changed oil, checked for damaged rods and cams(no prob) auto electrician has checked the alternator and the regulator is fine except when he hooked up his computer on idle when it was playing up the air fuel graphs went off the chart.

he also told me not to come back because my car apparently blew up his hand held computer. luckily i had already paid the service fee and said see you later.

except my car sound like a wrx at first the goes rotary.

could be doing 100km/h and as soon as it gets to 2000rpm drops down to about 300rpm

sounding like a rotary (blip blip blip blip blip blip)

its Fu@#ed

its gotta be the computer i have changed everything else

Any thought..........................................?

shows my old coils and the arking  

man 212 $ is nothin i payed $1000 for splitfires

if ya wanna run a bit of boost ya gonna need better ones

$212 each one.... x 6 = $1272 thats quite alot...

Still got the misfire. Haven't taken it back to the auto electrician yet as he wanst the car for a day or so he can check the problem when it occurs. I thought I may as well try an few things myself before pay out the $$$. I have bought some High temp Permatex silicone RTV gasket maker and covered the coils at the front below the metal down to the rubber boot as some of the guys here have suggested. WIll see how that goes in about 24hrs when it bonds properly. Heres hoping...

Hi guys I have a full set of brand new splitfire coil packs for sale $650 for GTR32 &33, R32gts-t or R33 gts-t.

which give a heaps better performance and stops the 4000-5000 popping dead in it's tracks!

Did you have any luck with that silicone? I'm maybe also developing the same problem, but it may save me hassles if i just invest in the splitfires for about $700.

Which auto electrician do you go to? I was told that the one on Gordon Ave is pretty good.

Sheez it's an epidemic. WRX noisey..grrrr. Going through this right now and need more suggestions Plse.

Severe loss of power, feeling like on 5 cylinders.

When it happend in my old GTS-T I started at the plugs, coil pack then Ignitor and finally All was good as it turned out to be the Ignitor..

Have tried everything so far in this thread on my GTR except replacing the AFM's and P_FC.

Have replaced with new plugs, coil packs,ignitor (2nd hand), injectors, fuel reg, fuel pump.

It's happening more frequently - not when the block is cool/cold, only when warm or hot 82 degrees+ (running temp).

I have started to give it a very hard rev or two with the clutch in and getting some success, but very temporary (like a few km's or so).

Resolved the Missing problem. Turns out my Ignitor and the first one I borrowed from a mates GTR to test were both Nackerd. I tried a third this morning and the problem is finally resolved. So where I started is where I ended.

I still haven't had a chance yet to get in and check tthe coil packs yet or even check the spark plug gaps. The mechanic said only one of the coils was corroded which he said he cleaned so hopefully it is only that one that is playing up. Anyone know where to get a new or second hand coil pack at a reasonable price? I priced a new one from our local nissan dealer and it was $212!! The missus will hit the roof if I had to fork out for a new set at that price!!

Cheers,

Jason.

That won't be for a set, that will be each one.

Hey thats great news that ya solved the problem. I siliconed the coils and it seemed a little smoother the next time I started the car, but then the problem reappeared pretty much straight away!. I don't know if I should just take a punt on the igniter and just buy a new one or take it back to the auto elec to isolate the problem. The stupid thing is the lat 2 times I had the car in they couldn't get it to misfire. Today I picked up some tickets in town to the Velvet Revolver concert (YEAH ROCK ON SLASH!!! :D ) and all the way back it was misfiring. Even booting the accelator couldn't get rid of it. Anyone in the Geelong area got an R32 that they can try testing their ignitor with mine?

Cheers,

Jason.

Just to add. When I checked the coils and plugs they all looked fine. No signs of wear on any of the plugs or the coils. The plugs were gapped to .8mm and are new platinum ngks. Anyhow I covered the coils at the spot suggested with that Permatex High temp silicone Gasket maker. The problem is still there and seems to happen more often when the engine is warmed up or on a hot day.

I priced an ignitor module from JMS in Adelaide. They are charging $150 plus postage. I think I will wait though until I know for sure what is causing it. The money is tight at the moment as we have just built a house and have blown the budget bigtime, plus all the XMAS bills etc etc., so unfortunately it may have to wait until after Xmas.

Cheers,

Jason.

after reading this entire thread, it is all to similar to my problem that has been happening to my rb20 det 32 for the past week or so. take it to the mechanics tomorrow to see what they say. main issue that hasnt been answered.... is it dangerous to drive it like this over a period of time?

HOORAAY!!! Finally got my R32 fixed!! Turns out the problem was a faulty ignitor module as a few people have mentioned here. Also had a faulty no3 coilpack. Gave the car a good run tonight and no problems so far woohoo! They had the car on the Dyno and I was told it was making about 125kw at the rear wheels now and is running up to 10psi boost (without a boost controller) due to the KnN Pod filter and 2.5 inch exhaust system, so overall I am very happy. Its great to have the beast back on the road. Thanks to all who helped. Special thanks to Dalton Automotive in Geelong and Phil from Leopold. Hope this helps some of you other guys.

Cheers,

Jason

    • 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!

    • 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.
    • Hope the cans went down well at least 
    • 255 can't go wrong with the price.
    • 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.
