Nothing but a story of neglect. Have been chasing a misfire issue ever since we first upped the boost. Turns out it was an issue with the adaptronic software. I have QR drift matsuri in October so will go back to the tuner before then and up the boost and FINALLY play with the cam gears haha. Will post results in here for everyone.

I will have mine together in the next few weeks and then back in the car hopefully by the end of the month.  Then it will be off to John from Next up performance for run in and tune. 

We will probably dial in the cams as close as possible without adjustable cam gears.  Not a fan of them even tho lots of people use them I won't be as I'm more a set and forget person. 

No worries man, let us know what you end up setting them at. Ben C34 did some investigating ages ago and found that if you align them to the TDC marks on the rear timing cover they are 8deg out (I think 8deg retarded)

I am still running standard Neo baby cams by the way.

So I had an almost identical misfire issue...

 

Turned out to be the cam timing being out. Found that even setting it to the marks it would be out a bit. Set it, turn it over 1 full turn, check again. Etc etc

 

I luckily have access to a friends dyno to play with this stuff with him, so we were able to see some real documented results. Could to 282kw by 4800rpm but would misfire like hell above that. Now the same boost comes on later and goes hard to limiter. Next is a retune for 20psi and to dial in the cams and EBC (Y)

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂  
    • Is this a brand new LSD? if so, have you followed any break/bed in procedure for it? Usually involves heaps of figure 8 patterns, a fluid flush.
