I'm having problems with my car (misfiring), have done the plugs. But I hink it will either be the coil packs or soemthing with the air/fuel. The engine is a RB25 and is running a Haltech E6K.

I was thinking of taking it to APC because I have heard they have the good equipment for Haltech. But what sort of price would I be looking at roughly for a good tune??

Should they be able to fix my misfire??

Any other suggestions?

I got quoted to tune my 32 gtst, $400, i also back a miss firing problem, sound like a wrx, i spoke to my mechanic and he said definetly a coil pack has died,

so mines running on 5cylinders, and sluggish as all hell off the line, i can rev it too 5 drop the clutch and it almsot drouns itself

I *had* the same problem up untill yesterday, have a look for the thread i started in forced induction performance and read that for a checklist of things you can do at home rather then spending $'s at a workshop. I had a bad earth which cost me $9 to fix and a dead coil which cost me $35, try some of the things in that thread to diognose the problem, then if all else fails, go to a mechanic.

YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE TO GET IT DYNO'D TO FIND OUT THE PROBLEM!!!

i had similar dramas with my 32 and had it dynod at couple of different places and both times miss diagnosed and cost me alot of time and money.

A mate then told me of EFI diagnostic and repair centre at capalaba and he hooked it up and told me what was wrong with it in an hour or so and cost 1/10th the amount of cash the others were charging.

just cause a place has a dyno doesn't mean they have any idea

    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
