G'day guys. I'll try and stick to the facts. Got the car back from having a fair bit of work done which included, amongst other things, the engine coming out. The only thing I can think of that's relevant to the misfire is the tune which was done as I had new dumps put on.

It was OK at first but I think the misfire has progressed (I don't drive it a lot so hard to 100% suss it out) where it is now quite pronounced between 5800 - 6300. It's nmot noticeable in first, but in second and third you pick it up (I'm guessing first its not under as much load and it moves through the misfire range quickly). The upper end of that range is a guess as it actualy goes on to make power again, to the redline. So it's like its fluffing in that range only.....Now, the coilpacks were replaced with new Splitfires about 3 years ago, but I'd be lucky to have done 10,000klms since then so I'd expect them to be OK.

Any guesses before I start problem solving with someone who is charging me for the pleasure?

Thanks in advance.

This.

Also u said it had a tune. Is it still the same ecu?

Same ECU. Power FC from about 4 years ago.

Come to think of it the fuel pump was replaced too. It was a new Nismo item, pretty much a bolt in replacement with higher flow rate. Not sure if relevant. Prolly not.

it sounds like you just need your plugs gapped smaller.

i had a similar issue with my GTR

it was tuned fine on the dyno, but in some real driving conditions (on road, especially up hill) the car would miss.

went back to tuner, he gapped the plugs down further and problem went away.

i think the plugs were gapped to 0.7?

OK, I'm going to try the plugs and see how we go. I'll ask the workshop but may as well ask here what plugs to use. From memory reading these types of topics the go is to stick with copper plugs and not get anything fancy?

Thanks.

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
