motor:

S1 RB25

Z32

bigger inj

power fc

splitfires

ect ect

car runs, idles drives perfect until about 5000rpm in any gear, same spot in the rev range each time it will just start running on one or two less cylinders, clutch in and free rev and it goes away and runs perfect again

the Power FC is brand new, was still doing it with the Nisstune the car came with

the Splitfires and spark plugs are brand new

car was put on the dyno and tuner suspected there was a missing earth somewhere in the loom, but has been checked over and theyre all there so im a bit stumped

any help would be appreciated

one thing I havent tested which i will tnight is if it still does it when cruising and getting the revs up on half throttle for examle

new symptoms

was running rough while driving, gave it a free rev and at 5k (wouldnt go past 5k) coughed and spluttered and then shut up, clutched out to start again and wouldnt start, pulled over, turned key and started was spinning but motor not cranking, left for 2mins, started up fine and ran fine again???????????????

Have you got laptop or commander for it?

yup have the hand controller in the glove box

Spark plugs (cracked) caused revving problem and wrong injector seals caused similar symptoms for me. Took ages to diagnose and lots of swearing.

will check plugs, someone also suggested a vac leak, maybe good idea to put smoke machine through it? can rule out vac leak and injector seals at same time

Pressure testing the intake would be a good idea, and check the vac lines to the fuel reg/map sensor if you are running one.

shall try get the smoke machine on it on the weekend and yeh has Turbosmart FPR

Well, in that case, there's a sensor check function on the commander. Just find it and use it.

will do tonight, thanks for that

    • Block bump. $400. As above cyl 6 needs bore or sleeve.
    • I would think making the argument that the travel is limited by a spring flexing against a spring perch as "the same method". Later on in the document they do state that the spring can't bind on full bump travel and cannot come loose in full rebound travel as well. (which is all very sensible). The laws are actually pretty sensible and reasonable. It's just that the people who enforce and check them don't actually read them or know them accurately. "Oh, coilovers? Instant fail mate. Don't even need to look at it." - Guy who will be instantly reported by me. There is probably merit to people who do get defected for height also get defected for the suspension in that state that allows it. I did never consider the people who are complaining about coilovers being picked on are also running around at 50mm off the floor.
    • I think given SAU's knowledge of E85 we can strongly conclude that 10% ethanol in almost any situation is entirely fine. Almost all of the myths against E85 were overblown, let alone E10.
    • From your link See bold text, is this referring to damper settings, if so that may a issue for "some" inspectors, I cannot see aftermarket coilovers having the evidence that "must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original" Maybe just remove the adjustment knows and hope for the best???? Meh 5.2 Suspension travel In all instances, modifications to a vehicle’s suspension must ensure the integrity of the system and not compromise the ride quality. At least two thirds of the original suspension travel should be maintained in both directions (rebound (i.e. extension) and bump (i.e. compression)), and rebound must be limited by the same method used by the vehicle manufacturer or if this is not practicable due to the nature of the modification, an equivalent method. If an alternative method is used, evidence must be available that its functional performance is equivalent to the original.
    • They actually don't - They adhere to VSB14 rules just like Victoria. The rules are against CABIN adjustable height, and it quite clearly states that the height has to be within parameters. I asked the VASS engineer to confirm this when I got my car engineered and they refused to engineer the coilovers because they didn't meet the requirements for requiring engineering. (mine are height adjustable.) People "Not wanting to bother" with "Actually reading/knowing/adhering to the rules" should result in fines and immediately losing the ability to issue blue slips and/or RWC's in Vic.
