my boost gauge doesn't show any boost spike, goes to 10psi but settles down to 9psi.
During the misfiring revving pass 4k rpm, it makes a constant popping from my rear muffler from what I can tell.

I don't even know, I've been sitting here looking for excuses not to let it go...

evos are crappy little girls cars....is that reason enough...need another, your gfs car is cooler (almost) :P

Ed* oh wait you said excuses NOT to let it go...sorry I got nuthink..

1.1 is a bit big for turbo applications I thought. 0.8 is more common, stronger arc.

1.1 is standard for the rb25 but .8 is the norm for anything modded...

I just go to bursons and ask for rb20 plugs usually..they are the bpr6 blahdy blah whatever they are the ones you want :yes:

Still got it, need a normal one for roardworthy

Good for pho Sunday morning or lunch

Could even do Yum Cha

I bon bo hue

I'll let Alvin pick

my fav bun bo hue is in st albans, i dont think you guys want to drive that far right?

though yum cha @ gold leaf springy/burwood sounds good oto.

did you seriously just read all that crap we wrote to Pat about plug gaps THEN put in 1.1's already put them in? lol

take out plugs and gap to 0.8

missfire will mysteriously vanish

Lol as far as I'm aware, plugs wear by creating a larger gap. As the 1.1's wear they grow to 1.2+

This is when you start having misfires

It you start at 0,8 they will wear down to 0.9, 1.0

Drop to 0.8 if misfiring. Although I'm getting away with 1.1's at 220kw :)

I'm only running fmic and exhaust, boost sitting on 9psi after those mods.

Thought I'll be alright with 1.1mm since not running much power, shall re-gap to 0.8mm and perhaps coilpacks.

Misfiring better go away before deca!

Misfiring isn't only from increased pressure in the cylinder, it is caused by excessive amounts of fuel also. If they are running good AFR's in the top end and cylinder pressure is under control they should be able to run 1.1mm just fine, if not the coil packs may be flogged.

You are right, plugs do wear slowly. If they are wearing fast you may be overheating them, perhaps try a BPR7.

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
