Hi all, l didn’t want to put anything on the forum, however l am unable to work this out and am extremely frustrated, hopefully someone can give me some good direction.

the car blew a cooler hose, since then it has developed a miss at approx 5,000 rpm upwards.

the strange thing is that it now fowls only plug number 6.

all others are fine.

changed coil packs around and same issue.

new coil loom, same. Car runs, idles and drives fine, as long as you don’t go past 5.000 rpm.

running apexi fc. Has had tune. Developed this after the tune. However was running amazing until the hose blew off. 
Boost is a conservative 15.

if anyone can give me some direction it would be greatly appreciated.

regards.

Sounds like it had a boost leak ( the cooler hose about to pop off) and was tuned to suit that. Now boost leaknis gone tune is wrong.

 

Did you pressure test the cooler pipes before the tune?

 

Yes, plugs changed, several sets now.

has had new cooler piping both sides.

turbo  side to air filter done pre tune. Intake done only a week ago. Still same problem.

 

Car ran perfect after tube, 232rwkw. @ 15psi.

drove it 250kms after tune, no issue. Gave it a few short drives and it, again, was perfect.

blew the intake pipe to plenum off. 

once this happened it ran like shit.

changed plugs as they were all Fouled. 
since then it has had the issue.

Appreciate everyone’s input.

 


 

I have seen a car foul plugs mysteriously more than others, and it turned out to be the diaphragm in the FPR that had failed, sending fuel into the plenum into two cylinders specifically.

Something mechanical has let go in the cylinder that is fouling. It would be very suprising to somehow make a tune that only fouls 1 cylinder unless you are playing with cylinder trims, which I don't think is very common on a powerFC.

You need more data available to you. Is the problem spark related? Fuel related? You may need a dyno to figure this out.

    • I thought Australia got rid of the "drag dodgy fuel up to 91 RON with ethanol", which is why all E10 advertise as "up to 94 RON" ? Anyway I put E10/91 in the missus' Mazda because she empties the tank weekly, when all my cars get 98RON. tl;dr - turbo - 98 RON, if you can't afford that, sell it and get a commuter car (or tune your car for 91, which no one does).
    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
