Hey guys, just fuelled up this morning (BP 98) from empty and now my car misfires over about 3k. no power above that. Its an r34 gtt. Has anyone had problems with a bad batch of fuel or is it just coincidence that ive done a coil pack or spark plug.

PS, it seems like its not just one cylinder down..

Any help would be appreciated..

Unlikely its fuel otherwise it would prob be running poorly at idle also... Replace your spark plugs and gap them down. Especially if you are running above standard boost.. Do this first because it is most likely to at the least eliminate it as a cause. (i had this problem. Feels like i had a rev-limiter at 3500rpm)

Yeah i changed the plugs. Its helped but theres still a miss.. Guess im putting off forking out for coil packs haha

yeh had same with r33. got worse as week went on. misfire above 4k and from 3k if hard on throttle..remove fuel filter and shook then empty into clean container. yellow jelly like crap came out. pump fuel through line for a sec then new filter. back to normal in a sec. wish i knew where i got fuel from...

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
