Interesting Intake piping....

When was the last ttime you changed the plugs?

still building it just wating for the intercool to finish off the Intake

i have not done the plugs on it but had them out and they seem to look ok...mybe do them tomorrow

any particular brand??? NGK platium plugs cost a bit or toyota have platium plugs for $6 a plug wich would be the same as the NGKs

I had a simular problem with my rb30. At first we thought it was the dizzy and rotor button but turned out to be the crank angle sensor. However mine was not doing it all of the time. Hopefully this helps you and doesn't send you on a wild goose chase like i had.

the cas is part of the dizzy on rb30es

And they suck to diagnose without a decent graphing multimeter. Lol.

Would you describe it as in in-consistent miss, or a proper limiter? Does it do it worse under load,and does engine temp affect anything? And is the engine stock-standard minus the conversion bit or has it been modified?

engine is stock dose it hot dont know about cold as i dont push it hard when cold

engine revs fine like normal untill 4-4500 under load with no load it will rev freely past 4-4500

Yeah, I'm leaning towards coils and/or plugs. Keep in mind guys if this engine is stock, might have something to do with 4500rpm being the point it bumps the boost up to 7psi. While this is hardly high boost, if the plugs or coils are on their way out it might be enough to cause breakdown in the spark.

That's what I was thinking with the hot/cold question, as coils that are starting to fail will play up alot more than once they get hot. It revs fine with no load? I'd be saying most likely an ignition problem, otherwise it could be a fuel problem (was it diesel before and did you flush the tank properly? Pressure problem? Blocked injectors?)

Have you checked the plugs and tried gapping them down to the .7-.8 range to see if it improves at all?

ok guys i have put new plugs in and still nothing but i think it dose it hot or could and somethimes it dose not do it but 99% of the time it dose

no was not diesel befor was petrol

here is a vid of it sorry about the s**t video but you can make out what it is doing

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
