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...

    • You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛
    • Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.
    • That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together 
    • I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
