Would just like to add that this happened yesterday, well i was gonna pull everything out again today but thought i would give it one last start and surprisngly it seems to run fine now. So my thought is more on the coils now as i thought it might of been the plugs. seems as though the problem is arising as it gets hotter. but maybe i should still get some colder plugs as mine are 5 heat rating. when i changed to spitfires. or ill give the jjr ones ago.

hey guys, i just had a fmic and avcr installed, car started running roughly and breaking down under load, i purchased some split fire coilpacks, and replaced my standard pones, and also im running the ngk iridium plugs BKR5EIX-11 in this thread, i orignially though it was plugs but i got the coilpacks. anyway i installed them didnt touch the plugs they are still standard gap, and car seems to run 100% better, didnt miss a beat all the way to redline just now when i took it for a run. but if i didnt buy coilpacks i would have tried to gap the plugs down to 0.8 because the spark from the coilpack must be weakening because of the age of them, and heat soak. and cant fire across the same distance anymore.

Cheers

Interesting read...Ive tried all the above plugs and found coppers to be less prone to fouling (using a commodore wasted spark set up)

Getting into the physics side of things, Heat kills Electrical current something fierce so keeping ignition coils cool makes a huge difference to the amount of current that gets to your plugs. also why colder plugs are needed in big HP applications.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
