Gday all i have only had my gtr for a month or so im trying to get it sorted befor i goto powercruise.

My problem is when im driving along on the high way sitting at around 100ks from time to time ill get a miss for no reason.Will be humming along perfectly then a miss.Does not happen all the time it just happens at random.

even when crusing around town ill be going threw the gears up to about 2 to 3k revs and i get a slight miss.

What could it be.

I have an idea but id rather ask the pros on here befor i put up what i think so i don t push the topic in the wrong direction.

Mods are

power fc

apexi power intake kit

PE denzo 700 injectors

hks 2530s turbos.

irtop 8s plugs new gaped

if it is very irregular its your PFC, nothing to worry about. They often have an infrequent miss at light throttle.

if it's a concern for you change it for a vipec with the parachute option

Sounds like it could be the "microstutter" problem to me. Inherent with certain revisions of the PowerFC. Nothing to worry about if it is, have the same issues with my PFC, more of an annoyance than anything

My GTS4 with the rb26 in it has got a miss that im trying to nut out at the moment too. Just a intermitent miss were there car would drop a cyl and stay like that for a period of driving for about 2-3 mins and then it would come back to life firing on all cyl. WEIRD!!! ;)

Ive just recently changed my coil packs to yellow jackets so it aint that and ive check wiring harness for coil packs, all good and also the sparkies. The one thing i have done different so far is changing the ignitor to another one as a test. Since doing this last night and driving the car today, everything is sweeeeet. Well so far. ;)

I will keep ya informed on how it goes over the weekend as i keep driving it. It was most of the time when you drove the car it would miss so hopefully changing the ignitor is the answer.

It may be the answer for you. Will keep ya posted! :)

Hi,

The miss could be a number of things.

First is your plugs.

Second is the Coil packs.

Third is the coil loom..ie plugs and wire cables

fourth could be your ignitor not getting earth.

Fifth could the PFC as everyone has stated.

Sixth could be your tune.

Seventh could be what I think I have...air bubbles in coolant.

Tried bleeding a few times but never gets hot enough.

Although not a miss..it sometimes feels like one.

Eight could be your pedal...you could hit a slight hump causing your pedal to let go and

engage again..this happened more to me until I changed my spring rates.

or Ninth thing could be that one of your injectors is rooted..or maybe a few.

Don't think I left anything out...oh..don't think about it to much.....

Its not the easiest thing to live with a gtr...lol.

Well ive driven the car around all weekend and its all good now. Changing the ignitor was the answer to fixing my problem.

Hope you can source what the problem is with your car. Its just a matter of changing things, testing things and eliminating each thing as the cause of the problem as you go along.

I hope you can crack it! :devil:

      And if you want more power, more reliably, and cheaper, go get the Aussie RB... The 4L Barra and put that in instead.

      No cats will keep discolouring the rear bar. Sends white paint a weird yellow stain. Cut and polish normally gets it out, but you'll be doing that every fortnight I found.

      Both heads will be equally reliable or unreliable depending on what you do to them.  Stock the RB26 head will flow more. You have access to the stock intake ITB manifold on the RB26 cheaply which flows really well(1000hp+).   Arguably more aftermarket support for RB26, though in Aus we love our RB30 SOHC heads too.    The only downsides to the RB26 head is if you have a VL commodore and want to keep the SOHC look.  Where you may have an issue is drilling out the rb30 block for the bigger head studs but if you are building a big power motor you'd probably put bigger studs on the SOHC head too.  This is just about finding a good machine shop, sometimes easier said than done.  RB30 head worked can make big power just like a Rb26 head, so really it actually more comes down to what your preference is for your car.  People now even making billet versions of both.

      2630s work perfectly well. There is something to be said for just using the 30 head, as it saves all the pain of the conversion, still makes tons of power, still sounds cool, etc etc. 2630 will obviously make more power again, but the differences are not stupidly big. It really depends on whether you're racing for sheep stations or not. If it's dead serious, then it's a 26 head. If it's just for fun, it could go either way. But the 26 head and the effort to get it set up, etc etc, is part of the fun.

      I've been building a 26/30 for a few years now. I've had the head built with all the good stuff. I had a 32 gtr but blew it up and yes its all going into a vl but im looking for some advice from some RB nuts on pros and cons on putting a 26 head on a 30 bottom end is it worth it Works are as follows Head -Extensive porting 1mm oversized supertech valves Supertech double springs Supertech valve guides Supertech titanium retainers Tomei solid lifters Tomei 270 x 10.25 cams Head drain Bottom end series 2 rb30 block Cp ceramic coated pistons Eagle rods Romac balancer Oil restrictions  O ringed blah blah spent a fortune And will get a girdle because the 30s arent used to handling that much rpm Nitto billet oil pump Hypertune plenum 6boost mani Refurbed astra pump thats the cover for it in the boot I did have a precision 6262 but sold it because drag car life. Currently building the ass end full 4 link floater rear end with a 2 speed  But the dilemma i have is my mate rekens I should just stick with the 30 head for reliability. Has any one had any issues with mounting the 26 head ie compression blowing gaskets etc. Just looking for some advice from people who have gone down this route. Here's some photos. Blew the oil pump in the gtr and decided to rip the motor out at the time and do a full build only to find it had been a repairable write off so went down this path.
