well one plug is obviously the cyclinder thats causing the problem

To begin, stop using iridi's. They are a pointless waste of money.

as 3lit said - BCPR6ES-11's.

Get a set and put them in and then see how that goes.

Then it will most likely kill the plug again, but thats the problem, the bung plug which looks a tad oily

Ok so i disconnected each coil to narrow it down to a cylinder that was the problem, its no.1.

First thing i did was pull the sparkplug out, looks a bit black, and has that shiney coat i mentioned earlier? Could be fuel??? but had no strong fuel smell to it...

Ran a compression test - 150psi on that cylinder (didn't have time to do the others)

Put in a copper plug, didn't fix it, took out the splitfire coil and replaced it with my standard one, didn't fix it.

So at this stage i'm assuming it has to be a wiring fault to the no.1 coil.

Ok so thought i was stupid to do the compression on only 1 cyl so went back and did the whole thing

No1 150psi

No2 150psi

No3 140psi

No4 140psi

No5 145psi

No6 140psi

no 1 actually gave a reading as high as 160psi but with a couple of repeats the figure was 150psi.

you disconnected the coil and the idle changed?

If so, its the coil, or a connection to it which might be corroded

Get a spare coil, and test it. If the idle is fine then new pack time.

I had a similar problem to this with my R33. Mis-fired all over the place. Trackside performance found that, when they opened up the loom, half the wiring was corroded! looked like water damage.

When they replaced it, she ran smoother than it ever did before.

So give your wiring loom a check just to make sure its in good nick.

After all, these cars aren't exactly spring chickens remember. A lot of them sit in the USS auction yards for years, outside in the rain and sun. Its gotta take its toll on something sooner or later.

Yeah was suspecting the loom but the fault was traced to the injector - although there was power going to it, the ecu triggers the injector to inject by earthing it - which it wasn't doing- pulled out the ecu to check for faulty parts, water damage etc- all good- put it back in the car ran fine again! I suspect a loose connection either in the pin of no.1 injector earth lead (on the ecu side) or a problem within the ecu itself- maybe dry solder joint?

Either way problem was fixed and only cost $88 (took it to an auto electrician in the end) !! (i was thinking hundreds at least!!)

      I've got a spare standard box sitting in the garage  I know it will come one day though, but it's driven pretty tamely on the four times a year it gets out...

      Big question… have you decided on a gearbox? Because it’s going to come… and a gearset ain’t going to do the job.    save your pennies 🤪

      Thanks for the quick replies guys its appreciated. A small extension was welded onto the standard 6boost external gate pipe which you can see where the pipe goes from black to stainless just below and to the right of the rear housing in the first picture. Overall I would say the flow is pretty good other than 6boosts choice to come straight off the collector at a decent angle.. Not sure why I went with two valves, I originally replaced the stock twin bovs with the GFB when I had the twins on. When I purchased the EFR it came with the Turbosmart Kompact BOV so I figured that would be a better option than the stock EFR Bov. I don't believe the Turbosmart BOV is adjustable? When I get the spike and then sudden dip in boost pressure, the turbo speed does drop as well. Stock head size wise however I believe it has Neo Turbo springs and a Neo Turbo intake camshaft and an aftermarket exhaust camshaft in the vicinity of 260 degrees. We didn't try a different MAC valve, we tried two different ways of plumbing it and we also tried removing the mac valve entirely and just having the boost source from the turbo directly connected to the wastegate and it still spiked / dropped and exhibited the same behaviour. Standard R33 GTR 5 speed tansmission. I'm running a Haltech Elite 2500 and can provide some logs if you. I understand what you're saying in that it looks like an auto plot however no, it's still a manual and it just has a lot of torque down low, for all intents and purposes it's a very impressive street car. I've attached a photo of the quickbitz dyno plot which was when the only difference is I was running -5 twin turbos with a mac valve. As you can see theres a decent dip in AFRs between 125kmh and 135kmh. Our problem now is not that the AFRs are dropping, just the boost pressure is dropping, however it is evident in the same RPM range of the map, coincidentally or not.
