Hey guys,

Noticed the other day while taking the car for a lil fang at round 4.5krpm+ while on boost and full thorttle "splutter splutter" coming from the back of the car. Just wondering if anyone else has suffered this prob before? Im due for a service soon but its only a fluid one so i doubt that has anything to do with my prob. Last service (6mths ago) i had Iridiums put in so i don't think that could be the cause, maybe coilpacks? Or in need for a tune?

Thanx in advanced.

buy 6 BCPR7ES spark plugs and gap them to .7 gap. see how you go

+1 to do that. does it mainly happen when its under load as well?

it may be your coils, try taping them up with some good brand elec tap and getting new plugs gapped to like.8 or less depending on how much boost your running. works a treat.

Hows it going mate. The same problem occured in r32 when i was running higher boost levels. Tracked the problem down to the wrong spark plug. I've happened to stumble across that the xr6 turbo run NGK Iridium plug with a .6 gap. Part number is BKR6EIX. Hope this sorts out your problem.

I'll be getting a service in a couple of weeks so i'll get the mechs to do a nice once over. I doubt the plugs would be gone as they're no more then 5,000kms old. Maybe need re-gapping its true, i'll keep you guys updated...please don't be coilpacks (crosses fingers)

95% its coilpacks...

sure way to tell is tape them up..

I had the exact problem and now its fixed with tape.. sure its a bandaid solution.. but its been working for the last 9 months so far

The reason regapping the plugs work is the gap is reduced... and seeing as the spark takes the path of least resistance it sparks correctly.

    • Yep I guessed as much. You'll find life much easier with a large block something like this -  https://wholesalepaint.com.au/products/dura-block-long-hook-loop-sanding-block-100-eva-rubber-af4437 This is a good demo video of something like this in use -    You have turned your small rock chip holes into large low spots. You'll need to fill and block these low spots.  It's always a little hard not seeing it in person, but yes I would go ahead and lay filler over the whole area. Have a good look at the video I linked, it's a very good example of all the things you're doing. They went to bare metal, they are using guide coat, they are doing a skim coat with the filler and blocking it back. If what you're doing doesn't look like what they are doing, that's a big hint for you  
    • The odometer does go up when driving.  Does this tell it is an issue with the speedometer itself?    Where can I look for replacement cluster? Or speedo? I can likely do the repair.. Will ER34 cluster work on HR34? Or do I need a HR34 20GT S2 specifically lol   
    • Mine's a bit bigger at 70x150mm roughly. The spots are flat, just can feel the edges if I dig my nail into it. I did fix some other other ones by both using my finger to sand that small spot (I'm a bit wary of doing this and creating hot spots and a bigger mess) and I also did sand over it flat and others, but this also worried me a bit because if I create an overall low spot on the panel on paint that is good.  Correct me if I'm wrong but as long as it's flat even if I can feel the edges, I can put filler because it will all be level once I sand it? I can see myself going in a circle after sanding guidecoat with 320 grit if for example the panel is flat with my hand but because I sanded the guidecoat I could have created a low spot again somewhere. Unless where I'm going wrong is what I mentioned previously where I didn't go low enough on the grits. It's 1 step forward and 2 step backwards here haha. I'll probably need to experiment with it more. Last time I go back to bare metal lol.
    • Thanks for the details mate , for me I think being a daily driven and happy with a basic tune (630Nm and 310kw) . Seems to be working well I just put on a set of Michelin Pilot Sport 4 should help put the power down. I'm going to start looking a brakes and LSD in the future so I might reach out to you on options to upgrade the brakes. Cheers - Dee   
    • I have a HR34 GT... RB20DE My speedo doesn't work! The rest of the gauges seem to work, fuel and RPM. I did not notice if my odometer was going up when driving last.  Any ideas? Speed sensor? Hopefully atleast... Gauge cluster perhaps? Or is that unlikely because the other gauges are working?   Any insight is appreciated. This is a rather new to me car. Lol
