hi,

first of all i have an r32 with rb25 with front mount, 3" exhaust, pod and bov. when i give it full noise it runs fine until it hits full boost (stock) and then it splatters backfires. but it only does it when it hits full boost. just put new platinum spark plugs that are gapped at 1.1 mm. andb4 hand it was splattering when i gave it full noise even when not on full boost but not as bad i put my mates coilpacks in and it fixed the problem for about 5 hours and now it splatters and backfires a hole lot worse than b4.

any help would be good

thanks

What spark plugs were in before you change over to the platinums? 1.1mm gap would be too big wouldnt it?

Could be your AFM playing up I had similar symptoms on my R32 when my AFM went.

iriduims. the afm is touching the cooler piping could this be a problem. i was told these were the recommended plugs for rb25. can i change the gaps or do i have to buy them already gapped

Try cleaning your AFM out with contact cleaner or something similar, I dont see how it touching the piping would be an issue. Im not too sure on weather you should regap or not but I had major missfire problems and when I gapped my plugs down to .8 the miss went away.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
