took it to a mechcanic last night and i have booked it in to test the fuel mixture through the rev ranges. He looked at the exhaust and said it might be running lean. So I am not driving it at the moment until I findout whats wrong!

I don't think the sparkies have the wrong gap setting as they were just put in two months ago platnium ngk plugs gap set at 0.9 think thats what they were!

I hope it just a blocked injector or something!

Take notice of what you were told dude..

I had the EXACT same problem and the HITMAN told me ALL boosted skylines have that problem with the plugs being set to 1.1 at more then standard boost.

I was told by the HITMAN to set them to .6 and it stoped straight way.

Once it passes the popping point it keeps going hey?

Take your car back and try it. or tell him to set them to .6 or .8

Worked for me.

the pop pop noise is because its running rich as the sparkies arent creating a reliable spark under high boost. ive got the same problem at the moment but have been too lazy to regap the plugs (damn uni exams)

0.6 is too close. i say between 0.8 and 0.9 should be fine. but it depends what boost u running?

I have a very bad miss at about 4500 rpm and after puting it on a dyno to see what was going on they told me i had 2 coils (1&5) that were breaking down, so i replaced both of them and the miss is still there. I am running 1.3 bar with a .8 gap. should i run a smaller gap ? if so, then why would it only break down on 2 cylinders ?

i assume AFs are fine... other thing to check is timing advance cos this is obviously an ignition problem

i know you run a closer gap with higher boost pressure however i dont know how close your supposed to go... at 1 bar (what im running) im going to run 0.8 so i guess you should close the gap more...

why is it at 4500rpm? is that when full boost hits? does the car keep going after that point? unforunately there are quite a few things it could be

I got a fuel air mixture reading done on my car to see if it was to rich or lean but it was fine. they said it might be 2 faulty coil packs that could be the problem, same as what JAPSIX said about his ride!....... but first thing is that I am going to change the gap size on my sparkies they are 0.9 will drop them back down to 0.8 or 0.7 and see if that works. thanks for the input!

Yes my a/fs are fine, they checked it on the dyno.

I rang my tuning shop today and they said to try a .65 gap, so i will do that tomorrow and if that does not work then i will try a different ignitor.

If i turn my boost down below 1 bar then there is no problem and when i run over that it only misses once the car is fully warmed up. I have about 15 psi at about 4000rpm and the miss is sometimes inconsistant. Sometimes it will miss a bit then let you rev it out but most of the time it misses real bad and i back off.

mine are 0.6 gap and she's running fine I thought the same that it might be too little but its fine I'm running NGK iridiums...gotta gap em down or play with the ignition timing as well that can cause part of ur problem...

I would try advancing your timing to 20-25. I had same problems, at exactly 4500 to 5500rpm then fine until redline. Changing the timing totally fixed it.

As a quick review here are some common cause of the surgin/popping etc

spark plugs farked/gapped wrong

Timing

Air Flow metre shagged, faulty or dirty

far to rich or far to lean (on stock usually to rich, on boosted line usually a bit to lean so ecu retards the hell out of the timing)

Hitting boost cut due to leaking/inaccurate boost guage (Says 12psi, but maybe spiking to 14-15psi)

I'm sure there is other reasons, but most of these should be free or very cheap fixes.

Good luck with fixing it.

Cheers,

Tim

Hi

I don't have many mods (well cat back zorst and pod) and I noticed mine having a bit of a lumpy "pop" noise in the zorst at idle which wasn't so noticable during driving but no doubt still there. I went thru what you're experiencing. Turns out my injector in cyl 6 wasn't closing off and had overfueled the cyclinder and washed all the oil away from my valves, significantly dropping my compression in that cyclinder.

Long story short, do the following:

1) Clean out your AFM, you'd be surprised how much cr*p gets built up in that little item.

2) Clean out your injectors - probably can't do this yourself? Find someone that can.

3) Get new sparkies if necessary. I haven't gapped mine but as I said, i'm pretty standard.

4) Get someone to perform a compression test on your cylinders.

Other than that, I can't help :headspin:

Cheers!

      You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
