sometimes, well most of the time i have it flat stick or slight throttle it bounces off the limiter and bogs down, missfires and slowly looses revs and power, its like what happens when your spark plug gap is ****ed...it was doing it with a gap of .8 then i went to a .7 but still does it. if i back off and back on the throttle it will sometimes get better but once it hits the limiter again itll bog down, missfire and loose revs even with foot flat or slightly, its like as if its surging out. this is mainly halfway through a slide (off street). all i want it to do is bounce off the limiter cleanly for peace at mind.

whats a solution? should i close or open gap more or is it something else? timing perhaps? i got no idea

cheers.

The R34 will happily bounce off the rev limiter all day.

It used to be a slow pop pop pop as it hit limiter and then dropped spark then picked up again, but now with the light flywheel, its like a machine gun!

Nice.

Could be coils if it starts happening before you get to the limiter - mine starts misfiring at around 4500, and I don't usually see more than that because it feels terrible.

I understand that the car isn't running properly, but why do you want it to bounce off the limiter? If you're accelerating, hitting the limiter is costing you time, if you're doing a burnout, backing off the throttle a fraction should make bugger-all difference to smoke output, and if you're trying to drift, hitting the limiter generally means that you either have no throttle control or you're doing it wrong.

Learn throttle control - your car will thank you for it, and you'll be a better, quicker driver.

its not that i bounce it off the limiter often, its just the satisfaction that it will run cleanly if need be. all these people are sayin learn throttle control, learn throttle control, when clearly its not about that, i must explain a little better, as SOON as it hit the limiter, no bouncing off it, even without WOT, it still does it, sometimes doesnt even need to hit limiter, it just goes BRRRRR, looses revs and power and sometimes backfires hard. always when its under load.

sorry to confuse the subject but yea im not one of these 'lets just flatten it around a corner' style drivers.

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
