Hey guys, I've had this issue for a while now where once I change gears from revving it out, the car will .....miss fire for 1 or 2 seconds before it starts pulling again, this is at WOT, with less throttle I don't have the issue. I have just changed the coil packs out, changed plugs .8 gap. I have also recently adjusted the TPS as it must have been

knocked or something, I adjusted to .48 on reds, car seems to behave according to where my foot is on the throttle, where when the TPS was out it was erratic, I have also changed the TPS. It can also happen when say....cruising in second at 2k rpm, then flooring it WOT, it will miss for a second...then catch on and off it goes. Once

it has miss fired in that gear, it will pull to redline, but once I change gear it will happen again, any ideas? I have checked for vacuum leaks, rectified some as now the car does not create positive boost in neutral where it was before replacing suspect hoses.

I have stock airbox with k&n panel filter, 3.5" from turbo, stock boost (12 psi) stock BOV and front mount. Plugs have been changed to copper@ about .7 or.8 from iridium @.7 or .8

Let me know what you think it could possibly be.

Please note....it isn't one cylinder misfiring, its all of them, for around a second or so.

Thanks guys.

Hey mate, umm yeah thats the thing, the standard 1.1 will misfire as soon as full boost comes on, thats the only reason I have them gapped so low, with them at this gap there is no misfire on full boost.

Then maybe change your driving style a bit. Instead of simply flooring it, feed the power (watch the in-car shots of V8 super taxi drivers when they show the feet movements). When you floor it, the ECU dumps a heap of fuel in, temporarily flooding the engine.

    • Small update for the day... Turns out the intercooler and engine coolant hose kits are anything but complete....I probably should have counted better but it only really covers about half the coolant hoses in the car, it really just covers the visible stuff and pretends everything else doesn't exist (turbo water feed and returns and also heat exchanger lines through the 2 pumps and cooler) .In any case, I'm happier to have half reliable hoses than none, but a bit of a disappointment. Anyway...finger click (and 5 hours).....hoses in place, lots of spring clamps replaced with screw clamps, and engine coolant is on the pressure tester for the night.   Incidentally, upsized header tank is an Inifiniti factory option....not sure I'll ever do prod car racing in this but at least it is legal.
    • Just weld it onto the hot pipe. If you want it right after the turbo, put it right after the turbo. Or rip the comp cover off and drill and tap a hole into it.
    • hahaha glad I can rely on you two to go on a spiral at the drop of a problem! Some quick answers....the ducting is excellent top bottom and sides....everything that gets in goes through the coolers (noting the oil cooler redirects it out again, fair call if it is cooling 120o+) and the heat exchanger for the intercooler also has some scoops to pick up more than it's fair share too. I can't see going down the water spray track....no bueno for formal racing and a big risk for long rally days if you run out (plus I'm not clear if it is allowed there either yet).   Frankly, it must be possible to reliably put 400kw through a standard front end, the BMWs do it so I just need to work it out....I'm starting with reducing blockages in the way and adding some coolant capacity with a bigger header tank, flushing rad and making sure it was filled/bled properly (I didn't do the last coolant change); also taken measurements incase next step is a bigger/higher capacity custom radiator
    • wow, a completely stock GTR! I've got to admit, I have no idea from what you are describing....do you have  any idea where the "thump" comes from, and are you certain it is the HICAS light not something else like the cat overheat light?
    • nice work, welcome to the world of CAD! fabricating accurately in 3 dimensional space is beyond me....I almost always end up making something more than once...sorry I mean I extensively use prototyping
