Well now I'm screwed still exactly the same and even Andy from adaptronic has no idea. Tried new coils , plugs, injectors, cams , checked compression, checked cam gears checked all new joins as in ballast resister and injectors , I really don't know what else to do? I love this car and it means alot to me sentimentally but my brain can't take this , I don't think I can pull it out and start again financially or physically

Fuel delivery pressure and Fuel quality ?

Actuators ok ? (misfires @ 9psi consistently )

what's the RPM when it misfires and how bad is it? Can you go passed it ?

Any anomalies in the ECU data logging

Summarising change overs, anything else ?

ECU X 2

Injectors x 2

Plugs x 2

CAS x 2 ? + adjusted dwell

Coil packs x 2

Coil Pack harness (new)

Ignitor x 2

Earthing x 2

CAMS replaced to stock

Cam gears

You maybe right - something under pressure within the head/block (Mechanical).

All the external gear seems double checked :(

As its still at dyno I havnt been as to drive it myself, from 9-11 psi I'm told , only under load so my plan is to get jez to try a nisstune see how that goes failing that do a safe tune so I can get ur home. I'm thinking leak down test first as comp test was perfect , next put 15psi into cooler piping and check each port with inlet valves closed for leaks, possible injector seal issue maybe pushing out under boost as they are not factory seals and are a little small for manifold compared to stock. Next is create a daisy chain from each coil to earth and possibly a relay and direct power from battery. Failing that run new jumper wires from ecu direct to each coil. Triple check injector wires and ballast wire joins. Lastly strip harness rig up a buzzer to each injector wire and sensor wire and somehow apply 12 v at ecu end and listen while moving harness for any changes that may indicate slightly broken wire. It's got me stuffed though it sounds perfect and passes every test except when boost is applied, I really don't want to strip engine down and jez doubts its internal , oil pressure is perfect as is temperature he said slight bubbling in rad after run on dyno but is normal I'm his experience.

Other than that sell it on and give someone a bargain but I met my wife in this car so it's very sentimental but with my mental health at stake I can't take much more

Its got to be electrical. Can't be mechanical man.

has jez tried just flat out doubling the dwell? Dwell is hard to work out what's best at times.

failing that what are the AFs doing under boost when it cuts? Does it chop and change or is it consistent?

If the AFs are all over the shop when boost starts to come on you better look into all things related.. Try smoke test it at 15-20psi and try a different set of injectors.

To me its either going to be an intake leak which is very close to the ports/injectors or its going to be a fuel control issue. So maybe injector seals giving out, FPR or pump failing under load or injectors failing under equalized pressure.

Time to start fiddling with the above.

The only thing that isn't new is the nismo fpr, mmm I wonder and I'm a little concerned about seals pushing out under boost even though they are new , intake gaskets are nitto metal which I sprayed hilomar and torqued to spec and have never had issue with these on the last two engines, it turns out stock ecu isn't wasted spark I wonder if that's a possibility?

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
