Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

I might pop down late this arvo in a hope it's on the rollers

Yeah.

I don't think it is my coils, I took it for a drive and no issues at all under any load on the factory ones yet when I free rev it around 4k it starts breaking down same as it did with the yellow jackets last night.

I am starting to think it may be over fueling when no boost is being fed in while free revving.

Put the boot into it on the highway and she goes like crazy with no issues exactly the same as it did on the yellow jackets before servicing.

Morning Mangs, got the car up and running on factory coil packs, I took it for a drive but I have not free revved it like I did with the other coil packs.

I will take it for a good drive and see how she goes. May be time to order new coil packs

:) check below

If the only thing moved/disconnected was coil packs to change plugs then it is typically coils. if not, Check leads next, if not then igniter might have a fault.

Just checking with this question, did you change the timing belt/move sensor to do so?

Yeah.

If it's breaking down UNDER LOAD then it will be coils or there abouts... If it's only doing it when free rev the you could have another problem like you said...

Morning all

Morning mate

Sounds like a good plan

Igniter is in the coils, does not look like loom or coils TBH they operate under load and at speed, not plugs either.

Background on the car:

400rwhp r34 gtt

never had an issue with missfire ever

109000K's

only missing at revs while free revving

no issues under load or at max boost (23psi)

I've currently in the process of increasing my curling weight from 15kg to 17.5kg. For the last week I've been doing a set consisting of 8 reps on 17.5, 10 reps on 15 then finish with 10 reps on 12.5kg. That's my super set, I take a 1min rest between these sets and do a total of 4 sets.

Can't lift even an apple afterwards

Yep need a straw and a bench to drink water lol

Sharing a common passion like cars creates the perfect space to chat, connect, and support each other.  A simple “R U OK?” can make all the difference. Let's enjoy the drive, the company, and look out for one another.

    • Yep, its been down for a while, as I understand it it will be back soon.
    • Yeah I also looked at Plazmaman, but, it ended up alot  cheaper getting black ones through EFI when you also added in the delivery cost
    • Nice shot! They look super clean. The roof rack delete on the black one is interesting. Would like to see more pictures from different angles. It's subtle but could make quite a difference to how the car looks in profile.
