hi,

first of all i have an r32 with rb25 with front mount, 3" exhaust, pod and bov. when i give it full noise it runs fine until it hits full boost (stock) and then it splatters backfires. but it only does it when it hits full boost. just put new platinum spark plugs that are gapped at 1.1 mm. andb4 hand it was splattering when i gave it full noise even when not on full boost but not as bad i put my mates coilpacks in and it fixed the problem for about 5 hours and now it splatters and backfires a hole lot worse than b4.

any help would be good

thanks

What spark plugs were in before you change over to the platinums? 1.1mm gap would be too big wouldnt it?

Could be your AFM playing up I had similar symptoms on my R32 when my AFM went.

iriduims. the afm is touching the cooler piping could this be a problem. i was told these were the recommended plugs for rb25. can i change the gaps or do i have to buy them already gapped

Try cleaning your AFM out with contact cleaner or something similar, I dont see how it touching the piping would be an issue. Im not too sure on weather you should regap or not but I had major missfire problems and when I gapped my plugs down to .8 the miss went away.

      The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!

      Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.

      Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 😛

      500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
