Have you guys got a boost cut defender or aftermarket ecu? as the stock ecu will cut ignition at about 12psi.

Just a thought, it might be boost cut.

I am running NGK BCPR6ES (pre gapped at 0.8mm) with 200 odd rwkw and I can just keep winding the boost up (most I have used is 1 bar - its a stock turbo) but haven't had a problem.

Heres how i would go about it.

1 set boost to 11psi or lower if the problem exists at that boost

2 Have my new plugs gapped to .6 or so

3 Take kick panel off to expose the computer and check wiring for loose connections

4 Unclip Ignighter pack for a known good one and take the car for a run

5 Take 1 known good coil pack and give it a run each time swapping good coil pack to a different cylinder

6 Replace computer with known good one

Ive done this from easiest to hardest labour wise..

Ecept the computer as it is rare for it to happen plus availability of a spare is sometimes difficult.

Good luck mate

OK....Gave the car I run today....running at .8 BAR the car started misfiring at aroung 5000RPM...

I had a look at the S-AFC and noticed that all the settings were set to zero. I re-entered the correct settings but unfortunitly the misfiring still occured but now it starts to misfire at lower revs...

i had this problem with my 33........turned out to be standard fuel regulator. i got a malpassi and everythings sweet........to test coils pull em out and take to auto electrician...they should have an ohms reader to test the resistance......

    • 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
