Fellow Skyline owners,

The car in question is a r32 GTS-T.Car is misfiring above 4000rpm.Changed cracked coils still doing it .

So paid $80 for dyno run....

OUTCOME!!Running dangerously lean when on boost 11psi 4000rpm which is causing the feel of misfiring.

connected pressure gauge up to to fuel line still on dyno ,sure enough fuel pressure drops at 4000rpm when the car runs lean!!

Okay drive with no boost till the walbro 500hp fuel pump comes in !

Mission accomplished fuel pump put in (2 days waiting)........But wait still missing !!

What do i check next .......Dyno guy closed till Monday

I'm thinking fuel lines under the car ??Testing to see if pump recieving 12V Note:fuel filter and fuel hoses in engine bay replaced last week!

Anything else i should inspect?????

Thanx in advance

Also had another thought, i forgot to post earlier.

Is the pump getting full battery voltage under load.

Could be a faulty FPCM. (Fuel pump control module)

The ECU gets the FPCM to drop voltage to the pump under idle for quiter operation, maybe it isn't switching off idle to the higher voltage.

Check the voltage at the pump.

Also does the aftermarket pump require bigger guage cable for the higher current that most larger than stock pumps can draw?

Give some more details of your setup and testing results, im sure someone can help.

.

Maybe .......where is the FPCM located?

I will organise a volt meter to check it out ...though it will fluctuate any way wouldn't it.

Done some research some ppl wire their pump so its on max all the time ,means wear out quicker but there is always plenty of fuel,the unused fuel just goes back to the tank.

How would i know if my fuel reg is dead?

What about your injectors?  Tried changing your fuel filter?

What are your AFRs running at above 4000rpm.. ie how lean?

Fuel Filter changed aweek ago! the pressure gauge was connected just b4 the fuel reg.so don't think anything to do with injectors.

Not sure but the line on the dyno graph for afr shot up when the car was missing ,leaning out!my tuner said it's leaning out pretty bad!!!

gonna hassle him tomorrow to work out the prob after all he wasted my $250 on a fuel pump :wassup:

Hey dudes problem solved,

replaced fuel pump reset ecu car is running sweet just misfiring now and running rich now ,Put on dyno again

Put my tuners coil loom and coils in and the car ran fine didn't miss a heart beat.

So i am chasing the coil loom $45 from jap wrecker and gonna splurge on the splitfire coils for just under $600(import places want $75to $100 each.Iscored 6 for $50 off a mate but for standard ones which will keep playin up and can't run more than 0.8m gap on the plugs

Now running rich so gonna check out o2 sensor and save for apexi fc!

Thanks fellas

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
