R33 Series 2, GTS-T Manual, stock apaprt from turbo back exhaust & k&n POD filter

ok, still hesitating/surging after 4500rpm, cant work out what it is, so far the following has been replaced (not neccisarily to fix this problem)

fuel pump, plugs, coil packs, fuel filter, timing belt, water pump, k&n filter, clutch, injectors cleaned, serviced, turbo back exhaust

it went on the dyno yesty and it showed no change in the air/fuel mixtures when it was surging,

so is it coil pack igniter module thingy? timing? ?????????

what heat range plugs?

what gaps?

coil packs new?

you haven't mentioned anything about the AFM.

i know the plugs are platinum ones, the gaps are right and the coil packs are new (splitfire)

i thought if the air flow meter was playing up it would of shown a change in the air/fuel mixtures when it was surging???

get rid of the platinum plugs. they are terrible.

get coppers (part number bcpr6es) or iridiums. if you get iridiums make sure they are gapped to 0.8mm and heat range 6.

ok they may be crap, but could they be actually causing the problem? especially this noticable.

slose gapped plugs shouldnt be required if you got new splitfire coils, should have ample spark to jump even the stock 1.1mm gap... look elsewhere for your problem, disconnect each coill pack via the plug and reconnect n go through the list as its running to varify which cylinder has the miss and work from there

I agree, its not like your running monster boost or anything. I would have thought stock gap would be fine, but if it isn't, mabye becuase of your exhaust, then I wouldn't really think that you'd need anything smaller than .08mm.

Hey guys

Just throwing this out there but could it be something to do with the CAS??

Yes, i was getting a bad miss on mine, tried a few things like coil packs, AFM, spark plugs, etc....

Got a CAS from another skyline and put it on mine, miss was gone. Grabbed a 2nd hand CAS and threw it on.

hi just throwing it out there.

i read on boostcruising that all skylines that rev towards the 5k range or reach the 10psi reigon suffer from flat spots. what they did was install a apexi safc, and it works perfectly now.

just throwing it out there. good luk

      Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too.

      Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.

      Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.

      Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
