hey all, lately been having 2 problems with my car, most annoying one is missfiring randomly, just random times it will missfire cruising or standstill, but to remove of the misfiring i just slam the foot to the floor and build up boost and it will go away..... any ideas??? just changed to new sparkies, and had the splitfires in for about 5000km.

this really really pisses me off. car sounds all nice and roaring and then all of a sudden its a god damn tractor!

2nd problem is, if i come around a corner or i do burnouts the car will smoke up to a certain point and them it just cuts out, never used to do that. i hit about 4krpm and then even with foot to the floor the engine will just cut off, completely and just go into idle mode. never die, or stall, but just stay at the 700-1500rpm even with foot to the floor.

i dont have a traction control in the car, and even on full tank it will do this, i first thought it was a fuel related problem not getting petrol when swinging into corners.

any help would be appreciated.

splitfires were brand new, missfiring fixed, one joint on the plug loom was loose so didnt get a proper connection, fixed that and now seems fine *fingers crossed*, other problem still exists.

saving up for a Power FC after i get my FMIC and front plenum sorted out.

that top plenum is the biggest btch

problem will not be r&r, so ignore all posts about that. if it is only when cornering it is going to be an electrical issue where something is losing contact while cornering. i would hazzard a guess and say the afm. try checking the fault codes.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
