Mm, so i have this weird missfire-like problem in my GTR

The sound isn't really coming from the engine (my old gts-t used to missfire and you could hear it at the engine, totally different sound and it would dramatically affect engine behaviour, not just slow the revving down a bit) it sounds more like it's coming through the turbo, like a surging sucking sound, except more like a sprinkler like it's sucking and cutting off reallly fast.

It only happens at high revs in 2nd or 3rd gear, and i have changed gap on the gtr a few times, and tried 1 and .8 regaps and it still happens.

But yeh, it doesn't seem like a missfire (compared to other missfires, where they've made the engine all jittery and sounded like revs cutting), and changing gaps and plugs, and checking coils for cracks made no difference

So yeh, any suggestions?

atm im just thinking i should go get some splitfires and throw em in coz they gonna need to be replaced eventually anyway

are you talking about the gtr or the gtst? either way doesnt make any difference just interested cause you started on the gtr and finished on the gtst lol.

Regapping to .8 is still quite big, i would maybe drop it down a bit more. A mates 200sx had his gapped at .7 and it had a "fluffy" missfire across the rev range, like it was blowing the spark out, dropped the gap down to .5 and its been sweet and he doesnt have any problems at idle at the gap either.

What computer you running? im guessing you have minimum of safc to run the z32

OH yeh asking about the GTR, i kept confusing myself but yeh, got the same probs on both of them so was assuming it had to be the same thing causing it coz it sounded and seemed exactly the same

:edited out the gtst bit, was confusing as hell lol:

the gtr is totally standard, standard boost etc

Also the gapping is just a fix for screwed packs anyway isn't it really?

      The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change

      Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down.

      The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
