Here's a weird one.

My r34 had a miss at several points between 4 and 5 grand under load. car has 68000 kms on it so i replaced the plugs with new iridium ones which seemed to fix it.

went on a trip to melbourne and... went fine down there but while there it did the same (no maybe similar). replaced the fuel filter to be sure but no change.

what it does now is fart around at high revs (over 5k). it spits and farts (i'm good with tech stuff) at high revs/loads and shits me right off. it got gradually worse so that now when overtaking I never use second (whereas before I would use it it to kick me from 90 to 120 when behind a gobbler) i only use 3rd. even in that gear i don't like revving it too much much cos above 4500 it gets that old miss again.

I am starting to think it's possibly heat related cos it's mainly happened on hot days after a fair amount of driving and earlier today i went for a drive and it didn't happen at all.

it sucks cos i feel like i have an engine that can only handle 4000 rpm..

I'm thinking coils but surely these suckers should last longer than 70k ???

any thoughts? (other than get your shit together you blubbering fool...) :hellpisd:

my R32 did that and found out that the 6th plug tip was almost burnt off due to lean mixtures. i installed a air/fuel ratio gauge in my car after that happened. when the car hits 5 grand the power dies off completly. it still accelerates but it has no power behind it.. i installed a 500hp fuel pump and changed the fuel filter and that still didn't do the trick... now i'm thinking it could be the fuel pressure regulator. anyone got any thoughts on it?

getting back to your prob. have a look at number 6 plug and see what the go is.

Had the same problem with mine ,took the plugs out regaped them to 0.8 .

I suspected the coil packs as well so I wrapped insulating tape around the stem of each pack, so if they were arcing across to the cylinder head it would stop them.

Anyway whatever the problem was plugs or coils it has fixed the problem.

I also took my Turbosmart BOV of the car and put the standard one back.The car would never run right with the Turbosmart BOV on,runs like a dream now.

      A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?

      So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...

      the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
