interesting - I don't use ANY oil - but it does seem to use LOTS of fuel I'm also now getting a mild back fire (pop) between gears at moderate load - another sign of too much fuel I thought (I'm not expert tho) Would an oil leak on one of the turbos cause this ? NB head was also completly rebuild 12k ago - all new seals etc - so I don't think my problem is there either I suppose - what I'm aksing is would removing the mesh from my AFMs impact mixtures ???

Guys do these mixtures look OK I have an R32 GTR and since having this power run done I have removed the mesh from my AFMs and installed a cold air intake. Now the car seems to run VERY rich (obvious ?) I sometimes get less than 300ks from a full tank of fuel with a mixture of normal and heavy driving, and I get clouds of blueish smoke under heavy acceleration smoke is mainly when I accelerate hard (big cloud of smoke) but once I'm on the peddle the smoke stops. Engine has done about 12klms since rebuild and is running Apexi PFC So – is it time for a re-tune, or should I try taking some fuel out myself (watching for knock)

tell the guys @ MYC what you want to do - and have them rec. the kit for you

what he said oh - and get some more money !!

but what happens when the diff goes BANG !!

I know what you mean - mine is clearly binary (on or off) - problem is that I have had the car for almost 2 years now - and it's only started doing this in the past month or so. I don't think I've changed my driving style in that time I've been looking at some pics and visually speaking it looks like an OS Giken (spelling ??). By that I mean it's not purple or anything I'm as concerned about the groan as I am about the shudder any chance I could have some oil on the clutch plate or fly wheel ? what else could make this noise ?

thanks for that Also I forgot to mention that I still don't seem to get any slip - I can easily break traction - even in 3rd @ speed (I just love telling people that ) So - am I on the right track - or not ? will a twin plate slip - or just die ?

OK I have an R32 GTR with about 300awkw – and I think my clutch may be going I currently have a twin plate – 'cause I here it rattle every time I have the clutch on the floor (no it's not the spigot beating), but I don't have much (READ :ZERO) experience with twin plate clutches – so this is my problem. Lately the car / clutch we will shudder (ALLOT) when moving away from a stand still – this is worst when doing a hill start. I also seem to get what I will describe and a groaning sound when the clutch is at the balance point. The groan will happen pretty much all the time when moving away from stand still (can replicate it) – and the noise is linked to engine speed not road speed. It seems to be coming from the passenger side front of the car – and is almost like a v-belt slipping without the squeal. So – my assumption is that the clutch is about to go – yes ? Having foolishly leapt to that conclusion (and I'm looking for confirmation here guys) what should I use to replace it with. I know I can recondition the current twin plate – any suggestions on how much that should cost. The clutch was in the car when I got it – so I do not know exactly what sort of clutch it is. What if I wanted to swap over to a single plate clutch – I understand that these types of clutches can easily take the power – but will I need to replace my fly wheel too. Will that be a better option. My current twin plate is OK (not too heavy) – but it's less than ideal for day to day driving. Lastly – how much, or how many hours should it take a reasonable mechanic to swap the clutch out ? all comments / advice and general sledging welcomed at this stage

so the std ingnitor (little silver thingy @ the back of the engine) is NOT get replaced what about the std spark plug loom - does the new loom replace that or just plug into the existing one !!! it provides BIGGER/FASTER spark - which is what my splitfire coils were supposed to be doing

cool I'd like to see what actually gets replaced with the CDI system - just to be sure that I have covered all bases anyone know exactly what's in one of these kits ?

I agree - it just feels like that sort of miss what's included in the CDI kit ?

Well - I got mine from Nengun (paid $950 for it) So I KNOW mine will not be covered in Aus I'd be happy to pay for the upgrade if I knew it fixed the problem it was not too expensive did not require a full retune (dyno)

I think I see a pattern forming here OK 1: how do I check if my PFC can be upgraded (remove and inspect ?) 2: what is the current (newest) version of the software (should I be down revving ?) 3: where in Sunny Brisvegas would I go to get it done

interesting - so what other mods do you have ? I'm still fishing for some commonality some where !! Also interesting to hear that even the D-Jetro PFC has this problem

All - I have one of these in my GTR - working perfectly and supporting over 400hp @ the wheels If this is the same one - the specs for it are here http://www.nengun.com/catalogue/product/513 HtH

Soooo why do you want to swap it out ?

I swapped from R32 N1s to R34 N1s when I did my rebuild about 18 months ago on a stock engine with 3'' zorst, mines ECU and pods I was seeing ~220awkw @ 1 bar engine was very tired tho (thus the rebuild) - so a strong std motor may do a little better don't think they would have got to 1.5 bar without fuel/fmic/injector upgrades too the R34 N1s give me 300awkw @ 1.2 bar - and a solid 270awkw at 1 bar

go you good thing The point of this thread was to try and judge how 'common' this problem actually is

yep http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...topic=89658&hl=

well - I'm running Version 8.04a

well neither had I until I got a half dozen responces and PMs that last time I posted this question I then assumed it was 'common' and something I needed to live with Agree - but I do not have datalogit !!! any time - mainly when hot - but can happen when cold yep - no diff yep - no diff my know readings sit at about 30-50 - but I have a noisy engine yep - BP Ultimate every time - different servos - and I've tried octain booster

yep - that's it - so you can imagine how that feels when you are actually hard on the peddle

OK peeps I posted a thread here a while back (6 months or more ago) asking for input on an intermittent miss fire I am getting on my PFC equipped R32 GTR. At that stage I had .... new iridium spark plugs replaced AFMs new plug leads (yes GTRs do have leads) new ignitor new split fire coil packs I was looking for some input on where else to look – but I got feedback from a few guys that this sort of thing was 'common' with PFCs (common may be over stating things - but I was not the only one seeing this problem) Can anyone confirm that this is a 'know issue' with PFCs ? Anyone found a way to fix it – can the PFC be software (firmware) upgraded smehow ? The reason I ask is that my miss fire seems to be getting worse. If seems to happen more often now, and also when under load. So a small miss fire when cruising along at 80 klms is no big deal, but a miss fire at full noise is something that I would like to fix. PFCs seem VERY common - and I had no hesitation in getting one when I did my engine rebuild about 18 months ago - but no one mentioned at that stage that they have these sorts of problems. It's not a big deal - but I would like to get to the bottom of it ============= UPDATED ==================================== OK this is a list of the userids that have reported this 'missfire' problem on this and my other thread. If you see your ID in this list can you pls let me know what model (GTR?) you have and the PFC software version so we can do some analysis. If you want me to add you to the list - let me know.

Hey - I'm looking for the driver side window for an R32 GTR - without scratches have you got one ? pics ? cost ? I'm in Brisbane too - so I can pick up

What - but will such blatant discrimination be tolerated by the other forum members
