deglaze pads.

Nah, bought better pads...still same problem.

Rotors are glazed and i am not maching brand new $1000 rotors....Feats the whole point of being brand new and slotted. Seems the new pads are wearing the glaze away slowly...

[sunnycoast]

Hey, guys just thought i would ask you guys what you thought my car has the popping sound at around the 5000 rev mark but keeps acelerating through till 7000 rev, it is really anoying and need to get it fixed.

So far i have found out it is likely to be the coil packs and there are cheap ways to fix them or i can just get them replaced, is this my problem?

I will be getting the sparkplug done at the same time.

[r33cruiser]

get the plugs done by themselves first.. then come back and tell us the results. do a progressive assessment. u wont need new coils unless their fkd

keep it simple man.

* u dont want to spend $500+ on coils, when stockies can cope with 300rwkw, and may no need changing.

"A few of the blokes on there with higher powered 500awkw+ GTR's have had ignition break down issues with the splitfires. They drop the genuine coils back in and the break down disappears."

yep well could be tips of plugs r gone. but my guess is the coilpacks are breaking down.

Rabbit - I had this problem on my R33. To fix the problem, i'd do the following.

1) If your running anything above your stock 7PSI boost, turn it back down and the problem usually goes away - Higher boost causes this problem.

2) If your boost is stock, remove your spark plugs and replace them with some ngk iridium plugs (around $19 each - but well worth it) - dont bother gapping these plugs below the standard 1.1 unless you are running higher boost.

3) If your plugs dont fix the problem, my next step would be to replace your coil packs. This leaves you with 2 options in my opinion.....1) you buy Just Jap coil packs for around $399..... or you buy Splitfires for around $485 from Slide.....

With my experience...I found that Splitfires made my car run very smooth. but as i have heard nothing about JJR coilpacks, i cant really make a call on how well they work when compared to SF.....

Let me know if you need a hand with changing the spark plugs/coil packs as i would be more than happy to help...Sundays are a good day for this

Cheers.

i would NEVER run 1.1 on a boosted car.

i ran 1.1 on 10Psi on my old GTR and it wouldnt rev over 5500rpm the misses wer that bad.

regapped by hand the platniums to .7 and took for a drive and hello 9000rpm gate and fark it got its bucket load of torque. i remember that day as thats the first time i wet myself in that GTR and blew a cooler hose off. on 10psi haha

+1

regap them man to the recommended gap of 0.6 or whatever it is.

u can only leave at the stock gap if u have a crazy ignition system or using a nos system. splitty coil packs or other similar coil packs are simply not up to the task. for that kind of ignition we are talking a dedicated msd coil pack with spark lead. but thats an easy $2k right there.

+2 on the plug gaps. I think from my previous experience you will need no more than .8 gap.

If this doesnt help split fires are good, unless you are chasing 500+ hp they will do fine.

sup guys got a question for ya. put in a new o2 sensor, and have adjusted fuel prs to 40psi, and running super rich for once.

ive been runnin 8psi for a few months now, because if i boost over 12 it gets guttless and hits the wall.

now that ive richened it up, can i run 14psi well?

hoping it will work sweet now my afr issues are fixed seen examples with ppl running 14+psi on stock car and reaching 300hp.

dont worry about turbo probs/ constantly ran 20psi ages ago.

I'd be getting it on a dyno for a run to check your air/fuel ratios ,cheap insurance for the cost of a engine.

[85URK]

blow it up , i would.

[r33cruiser]

fo sho daz. will run 50psi through it

Dunno if this helps, its a long read but might be the problem.

if it is the stock computer then the wall you hit is the richen and retard stratergy of the computer, once you reash a certain level of air flow the computer retards timing and dumps a tonne of fuel in hence why you go slow! Upping the fuel preassure will only make it worse and hurt your wallet fuel wise
