Is the pfc software set to the z32 afm make sure the plug gap is .8mm and check if the wiring to the z32 afm is right you can read the plug wrong from left to right had a car in the

other day with same problem all it was was the afm wiring was wrong if ths is all ok check fuel pressure and the tune

def woulnt be a melted piston it wouldnt go do_a_skid

andogtr z32 air flow meter has always been in the car and tuned to the power fc. it only started this problem a few months ago it just got worse. i regaped the old plugs and cleaned them and put them back in and now goes hard. but it did that with the new plugs for a few days then went back to how it was. so might be fowling the plugs ? the new ones i pulled back out are really black and sooty .

Well Curtis you are getting some were sounds now like the tune and fuel pressure need checking i actually dyno tune and fault find for a living done alot with pfc s if you need to run it on our dyno we are in ulverstone at southside on 64259320 your only in burnie arnt you so wouldnt be much of a hassle to look at your car for you Cheers and good luck

Yea post up if tune fixes it. My stagea is doing the exact same thing. Hand controller says it leaning out on output (-12). Valves have been opened to maximum when previous owner had it tuned by fuel tech in Launnie.

    • Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!
    • Curious to see how the SpeedTek stuff holds up
    • The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...
    • Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.  
    • I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
