Hey SAU,

My 32 seems to missfire at high revs say about 3500 grand onwards on and off. . . I've looked at other topics but I've already changed allot of parts to try and fix the problem . .

I've installed new spark plugs (plat/iridium) and new coil packs ( super spark) and changed my air filter I've checked for boost leaks but cant find any. . and there isn't any water in the fuel tank I've even tried changing the pressure of the fuel with a sard FPR but yeah still nothing works . . i also thought to drop the boost but that made no difference either so I am dumb founded to what it could be . .

any help would be appreciated :banana:

cheers..

could be ignition module, or coilpack loom. or afm maybe...

those are probably all worth checking. probably one of the first 2 though

afm = air flow metre?

yeah ive checked the coil pack loom already but havent checked the ignition module yet i cant seem to find any anywhere :) . . ive even disconnected the sensor on the dump pipe cause apparently that sometimes causes it. but that made no difference. . the revs are really bad too it fluxuates around 200 to 600 revs . . i just had a play with it again then and i'm thinking it might be a vacuum leak somewhere i just cant find it :banana: cause that'll explain the fluxauting id;e revs and when i try and boost it past 7 pound thats when it starts missfiring it has nothing to do with how many revs i give it :P

do you think i should just get rid of the stock intercooler and just redo it and put a front mount and change all my vacuum hoses?

List of full mods. Sounds like something is up

Why do you have a sard FPR? What ECU setup?

super spark coil packs

plat/iridium sparkies

3" cat back 5zigan exhaust

hks pod filter

had a boost T but just took it out to see if it made a diff but it didn't . .

sard FPR ( was gonna increase the flow when i put other mods in it so its just running standard flow )

f/r strut braces . .

boost gauge

thats about it its not really worked or anything :banana:

coil pack loom or the ignitor will be stuffed then by the sound of that.

And don't use iridi plugs - you've probably already fouled them again which isnt helping.

Use coppers.

oh true copper ones huh??

well i'll def put some new ones in then :P and try and source an igniter :ninja:

Well dont change them if they aren't stuffed - but my guess would probably be until you get the issues sorted out... then you'll keep fouling plugs and iridi's foul super easy.

So even if you fixed the issue, you'll have plugs that are stuffed and not helping/showing the same symptoms as before

did u say u changed the fuel filter?

if i was you, id drop into a local garage that has a scan tool, and get them to check for any sensor faults.(providing they have the correct adapters ect, on my r32 the adapter is just above the fuses in the cabin of the drivers side.mines a 14 pin connecter, but they also come in 16pin)

    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
    • Just like in being 14mm too small (296mm) makes it not fit, being 14mm too big (324mm) it also won't fit. You want to find the correct rotor.
    • @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?
