I had that problem and i gapped my plugs. They were 0.8 and i put them down to 0.65 and she runs like a treat. I ran a 14.8 before down the 1/4 mile, i gapped the plugs and then i ran a 13.7.

having that small a gap means your coilpacks are on the way out

Bubba he has a similar problem as to what we were talking about :)

I thought it might have been my boost spiking or R & R, but now I'm pretty certain that it is coils/sparkies although I havent checked. Dont bother taping coils I've heard they generally only last about 2 weeks or so...

~4-5000rpm generally coilpacks or coil harness (mine was coil harness related).

That was my thinking on the GTR, but ended up being a bad seal(as well?) letting some oil into the sparkplug, hence killing spark.

I got splitfires at same time and now no probs.

      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.
