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

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
