Was wondering if anybody could help me? I just bought an r32 gtr recently and came across a weird problem. The car started missing so i took out the plugs and they were stuffed so i replaced them and took the car for a drive. The car misses when i accelerate while taking a corner and not in a straight line. Any ideas as to why this would be?

Cheap fix first, try electrical taping your coilpacks, the spark might be arcing.

Does it happen even when cold, or only when the car is at operating temperature (10+ mins of driving), if it only does it while warm then you might have a faulty ignitor module (silver thing on the cam valley cover, always work fine when cold)

How much fuel in the tank?

Could be fuel pump related.

It's happening with about 1/2 a tank of fuel, so not too sure if that would be the case.

Could be fuel filter related. Could be afm related could be loose earth related

If it's an afm issue wouldn't it just not rev past 3k rpm?

Hmmm haven't tried when cold i will give it a go and see. Just tested it on the way home from work and it is only happening on left hand turns/bends, even something as simple as accelerating a bit too hard turning left at a roundabout and it starts missing, soon as i straighten up it's fine. Can hook it as hard as i want turning right and it's fine. Also forgot to mention i have splitfires

    • 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
