i've had this miss coming in and out for a few weeks and can't find the cause.

the miss like i said comes and goes, when it comes its jus like its not making much power. still pull but at about 1/3 the usual.

i've changed the plugs and checked the coils were sparking on each cylinder.

anyone got any idea's on what to check next?

Is it only when on boost or completely random? Miss on boost has been covered many times and can be found by searching, most likely causes are old plugs, old coils, too rich.

Random is a pain in the arse, and you are in for a world of pain trying to track it down.

With the stock ecu mine would occasionally have a single miss at part throttle, usually when slowing down then going to accelerate again. Unsure what it was, only every blue moon would it do it.

PFC and Z32 AFM went in and I haven't seen it since.

mate intermittent misses always end up being coil packs you just got to get lucky and catch them!

i had all 6 coils go 1 at a time

Mine wasn't, swapped all 6 no change, i also swapped ignitor, ecu, rewired ecu to ignitor,swapped ignition loom, regrounded everything, swapped cas and afm, removed emanage, which also required swapping back to stock injectors.

In the end i got the shits and got an rb25. Problem solved :D

    • 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.
