I know ther is a million posts about this but every singel post i read havent helped me yet.

I have the "standard" isue about the car strugeling/cuting at 4500rpm, after a wile it wil boost/fule cut if i keep holding the throtle, if i let go a bit i migth get it past 4500, but usaly dont. Turbo gets glowing hot, but car is running rich, dont have a afr but car spits flames.

Mods:

- 3" exhaust

- Pod filter

I have tried: 

- Changing plugs and gaping them

- new coils (yellow jacket)

- tried 2 difrent AFM's and mesured them

- cheked fule presure,, 36psi with vacume, 41psi wirout

- tryed to take out cat

- tryed to discobekt boost selinoid

- timing is 15° at 650-700rpm

Yellow jacket coils are prone to failure, OEM or blue Splitfire are best...…..set your gap to 0.8.  But without a programmable ECU or SAFC etc it will go R+R.

What is wrong with the Yellow jacket? If they are so bad why are they stil sold? Shoud work fine on a stock car as far as i know

They are sold to unsuspecting people.

Seen any high powered RBs with them? Nope.

I ran then before, brand new set. 2 died, then a 3rd. Had 2x coils replaced then gave up. Money better spent on strippers and cocaine. Mind you it was breaking up at 1 bar boost, pathetic. Bought brand new Splitfires and put 1.7bar through it no worries.

A poor man pays twice.

Also try stock boost.

I run Yellowjackets, no issues (1.1mm spark plug gap). Although my engine is standard everything.

Once you start leaning on them, you'll run into problems. There's a reason they're cheap, and a replacement for standard engine/turbo/boost level (it gets you going at the very least).

If you're planning on more power, do what the others above said.

you guys need to read what im writing, car is STOCK exept for Exhaust, filter and coils, rest is completly stock, stock boost, stock fule, stock pistons, i baugth yellow jacket becasue it seamed like an OK change from originals on a STOCK car that is not gonne be tuned

Also if you have a thing against Asians, maybe go through your belongings and throw everything out that's made in China, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand, Philippines, Japan into the bin - that includes your car too.

Looked at your profile, I think you meant Nissans not Nissan's. Plural vs. Possessive.

I used to run yellow jackets on my stock engine and after less than 5000kms one of them died. Never again.

I'm surprised mine are still going even after track days. But they'll probably start failing after I post this.

In saying that, I drove my car once last year so it's not like it's used a lot.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
