Hi guys,

Have a R33 gtst

the car is tuned on 18psi with power fc,Y.J coil packs,fmic,z32 and 040 fuel pump and bigger injectors and hiflowed turbo.

Bought a new set of sparkplugs as i thought maybe the ones in the car was making it cut out after 5500 to 6500 but it didnt help.

i dont no if it is the spark plugs as the new ones ran great for like a day and gave it a bit and nice through the rev range then when i full throttle it in first gear and it cuts out at 5500/6700 like brrrr brrr brr at the back of the exhaust and then when releasing the throttle it sounds like a wrx for 2/3 secs like on 5 cylinders and returns to normal again cruising..could it be coil packs.

the old ones i had are bosch platinum plugs heat range 6 and gap 1.1. so replaced them with NGK copper bcpr7es .8.

now the car runs like crap all over the place missing like u can hear on idle boof ,boof every 3,4 secs or sometimes a minute.

When driving it just under 3000rpm just misses and hesitates a little too.

I took the plugs out/NGK and see that the side electrode is white on all of them which means lean.

My bosh ones where pretty ok like a light brown,greyish colour on the side electrode.

could it be the NGK plugs are to cold at a 7 heat range as my bosh platnum ones are a 6 heat range.

i just changed them as i thought the gap would help it from cutting out but maybe one of the coil packs or now there just stuffing up more worse and this miss and that is happening.

any ideas before i break it lol

put the old plugs in bosh ones 1.1 heat range 6,s and miss and hesitation all gone besides the cutting out up top after 6000rpm..could be the gap now the problem for that or coil packs.

doesnt seem to like NGK for some strange reason.

No, more likely doesn't like the 7 heat range. And the miss over 6k will more likely be the gap.

You can close the gap down on your Bosch plugs to eliminate the miss.

    • 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
