Hi guys,

My r32 Gtr is on dyno and has a missfire on gate pressure of 9psi. Engine is a forged std stroke 26 with jun 264/270 9.5 mm lift cams (I think as these were purchased before my surgery) it has adaptronic ecu, split fire plugs running map sensor . New coil pack harness and bosch 2200 cc injectors with resistor removed. My tuner (jez) is awsome and has tried plugs, coils, harness , cas, adjusting cam timing as well as tune. He has adaptronic guy coming tomorrow to hopefully fix it but any ideas are welcome. He also did comp test which came back perfect. The engine also has new -5 turbos with ported manifolds and the head is mildly ported if that helps and smoke test showed no leaks at 2psi. The car was and is very difficult to tune and was a pig to get running at first, right now it has fresh shell 98 but has a flex fuel sensor waiting e85 tune if we can sought this miss out. Any help is appreciated

Scott

Qualify - I don't know much.

But I would place a bet on your adaptronic ECU.

and therefore the course of action being taken by Jez and yourself.

Not much help but I think your on the right path.

Edit: Don't stress over it tonight :thumbsup:

I didn't but it was built by an engine builder in qld and was running 387kw without dramas when I purchased the engine it had travelled about 2000ks inc dyno work only change is cams and big end bearings just because I had sump off

Andy and jez spent 4 hours with it last night, swapped to another adaptronic , swapped injectors and problem still there so it's thought that its either due to wasted spark system or a mechanical fault yet undetermined. Jez is installing a nistune to see if it makes a difference other than that only thing we can come up with is put cams back to stock ones and if that doesn't work I guess engine out and full strip rebuild and blue print if all cc size of ports and seat pressures , ring gaps and clearances etc, fingers crossed but I'd love some ideas or if someone has experienced similar thing? I've search for at least 6 hours and I've found cams with Hyd lifters can cause missfire but these are solid type drop in juns? So no idea really

oh that was you that came past Jez's yesterday (he told me when u left) that was me working on my car while it was on the dyno...

he did mention (and I herd when he started it) that your top end is Very noisy, not sure if this may result in the problems you are having ?

Nice car mate very neat Install and nice power too! It seems I was ripped off with cams from a seller on here whom I can't remember due to surgery well there is a lesson don't buy important parts after brain surgery lol. Jez changed cams and it silky smooth and quiet. It seems I must have measured clearances wrong in thou instead of mm or something cause clearance was at least .75 when should be .30. Base circle much shorter as was duration and lift about the same. So stock cams back in and see how it goes tonight! Fingers crossed as we have both had enough of it that's for sure!

thanks mate she is my baby !

exactly lol always important to check clearances with every cam install !!! and if the base circle was smaller then it would definetly need new shims etc

well fingers crossed all goes well now keep us updated !

    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
    • The fact that US/JDM plates actually fit the skyline bumpers properly is a big, big thing for me as they are the correct dimensions. Annoyingly you can't opt for a normal plate (or plate combination) in that size. You have to make up your own one, and at that point you'd still know it wasn't randomly assigned. 
    • Well, really, that's any ECU, because it's not so much the ECU that the tuner connects to, but a laptop that's connected to the ECU. You have to have the tuning software installed locally. The "remote" part is essentially just remote desktop (RDP) or VNC type access. Nevertheless, if you're looking to upgrade, then you're immediately in the Haltech/Link territory, both of which can be done by any number of competent tuners here in Oz. But without a dyno, you'll definitely also need a wideband O2 sensor fitted, and you'll probably be relying on "auto" tuning a bit, where you drive it around under various loads and then apply the corrections that the ECU learns (basically applying the fuel trims that the ECU has to do to correct the mixtures). Tuning the timing is a little harder. It can be difficult to trust the old OEM knock sensors on RBs, so it is definitely best to have someone who knows what they're listening for, with knock ears (a piezo microphone connected to the engine, and and little amp and headphones so the listener can hear the angry men with hammers who live in the engine). That is more difficult to do remotely, and I suspect the only sane way is to be quite conservative on timing. But that's OK. You're probably waaaaay better off with conservative timing where you are. What is the fuel situation? 98RON available? Or low grade jungle juice?
    • I see your point, I didn't think too deep into it, was purely focused on the price. There's no bad blood between myself and GSM, they acknowledged the price was cheaper else where and at the time couldn't match it.
