my tuner seems to think that my spark is been blown out with excessive boost.... above 16 psi it missfires etc but at the 16 psi it has about 300rwhp or so... im just wondering if it could be something in the tuning of the microtech.... i have irridum plugs gapped to .6 mm..... im just thinking the coil packs may not be putting out enuf spark/strong enuf spark... what sorta power at the wheels are the std coils and igniter setup good for on a r32 rb20det??? cheers guys...

I have a feeling i know which tuner your talking about too. Cause they told me the same thing. I used to have the same problem, the tuner changed the plugs to a v-Spark plug or something along those lines, but the plugs didnt last all that long. I have just changed my plugs to irridiums and its started again, and im only running 10psi :)

Mine only seems to do it after abit of a drive on the freeway tho. If i punch it while on the street its sweet but drive bout a half hour on the freeway, then decide to give it a squirt it'll constantly misfire. I'm actually in the process of sorting this problem out with the mech that put the new plugs in. When he finds a solution i'll let ya know ;)

Hmm, doesnt sound right. I have seen stock ecu, stock ignighters with irridium plugs (I 'think' they were gapped at 0.8) running 18lbs with no probs to 8200 redline.

I have run up to 1.5 bar on R33 with stock ignighters on iridium gapped at 0.8 no probs.

Have you taken care of fuel?

16psi isnt really huge boost. It may be worth dropping Clint32 a pm, I am 99% sure he runs more than 16psi on his R32.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
