Hey guys, my friends r32 is misfiring badly after 5000 rpm, it has iridium sparkplugs which are 6 months old so i diddnt think it was that, we put a fuel treatment in it 2 weeks ago the max octane boost one, he gave it up to 5000 rpm let it sit there and then gave it up to 6800 rpm and it was ok, but it had to be staggered or it would misfire, now after fuel treatment it still misfires. it has a 3' exhaust pod remapped ecu and hiflowed the stock turbo, BEFORE , the car would run fine on 15 psi,but now its misfiring on 10 psi (were leaving it on 10 psi). any ideas?

A problem that had me scratching my head a couple of years ago

It will be one of these:

1. Coil packs in the Rb20 are prone to f*ck up.

2. Most likely your spark plugs are not gapped correctly and adding octane booster puts this orange shit on them that stops them working correctly and this problem is simply amplified when the gapping is wrong.

that's a generalisation...

from what i have seen, spark plugs are generally either gapped at 0.8mm or 1.1mm in their "factory" form

eg NGK coppers: BCPR6ES-11 or BCPR6ES - both the same plug, both brand new, and as you might guess one is 1.1mm gap and one is 0.8mm gap

so they might be gapped to 0.8mm or they might be 1.1mm. with the symptoms he has described i still have my balls on 1.1mm gap as the source of the problem. If hte gaps are already 0.8mm then i take my balls off the plugs and putthem on coils as the problem

either way, its not too serious

of course it could be something different altogether - i can only suggest what i think based on my personal experiences... i'm not a mechanic

cheers,

Warren

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
