I have changed my spark plugs, gepped to .08, siliconed my coil packs and all that and I still get a miss fire every once in a while when my car is warm. Is there anything else I could do to stop this? My power fc is coming in tomorrow, will that fix it? It's nothing bit, it just bothers me.

not always does the siliocn trick work so its probably still your coil packs. (did it on friends r34 twice and it failed so bought spitfires)

either try siliconing it again or purchase some aftermarket coilpacks

I had the same problem with my car (RB20DET) and i innitially thought it was the ignigtor overheating. Like you it only happened when the car was warm. But after putting my car on a scan tool at Nissan and coming up with no errors it was narrowed down to a module that even the scan tool can't pic up, which turned out to be the coilpacks. They were 15+yo after all. So i bought some splitfires off Sliding Performance off this site (link below) and chucked in some new plugs while i was there (old ones had done about 10,000km) and problem solved. The coilpacks were $485 delivered and took around 5 days to arrive. Hope this helps. Good luck. :)

Yeah, I tried the silicone job on mine - fixed it for a little bit (might just be the placebo effect), but then back to it's old ways. Replaced them with some younger coils and it's happy again! I'd ask someone if you can use their coils as a test, just to be sure it's not something else.

so younger OEM coils can fix this problem aswell? spitfires aren't REQUIRED?

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      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 🍻
