Has anyone ever had any problem with the wiring loom and computer plug on R32 RB20's? I'm asking this, because dispite putting in a set of split fire coils, new plugs (0.8 gap) and tying a different ignitor, my car (S13 Silvia) has a BASTARD of a flat spot. It's going to be hard to explain, but here go's. It idles fine. Drive out the drive way and it feels abit lifeless. Drive down the road and it lacks response. Lean on the throttle (not full throttle BTW) and it feels like you've put your foot on the brake at the same time, despite the boost gague showing 3-5 psi. Hold that throttle possition and when it gets past 4200rpm, it gets a new lease of life and takes off as you'd expect. Get past 5000rpm and it go's dead and struggles. Sometimes using less throttle can make the car feel faster.

Car has a new fuel pump (Bosch 040), runs OK air/fuel ratio's (11.5-10.5:1 under load/boost), I've cleaned the airflow meter (R32 airfilter box/standard throw away filter), base timing is 15 degrees.

It hasn't always had this lovely feature, and it has come and gone befor. :yes:

    • I have one of these! It is absolutely useless. It provides not nearly enough force on the bolt, it just slips over anything that is not finger tight. And if it's finger tight, you can use your fingers.
    • You have to take photos of the car in Victoria with a timestamp. So if you have big aftermarket turbo in your engine bay, your car is simply not getting a RWC and you'll be doing a lot of returning to stock, and re-modding after about 90 days (because cars that have had a RWC can be audited after the fact). The law I'm kinda ambivalent about. I can see the logic and the writing on the wall, Cobb etc would be well known for selling to 'wink wink off the street usage' but in the real world everyone knows what they do and where they end up. It'd be like someone selling guns in Australia but "only to people who have a proper licence" but selling them outside of Bunnings instead of sausages to anybody. Like RWC's, and VASS's and EPA, this is enforcement of the actual existing rules. I haven't looked into it but there (should) be a way for people to legally pass their tuned car to be within the rules if they can prove they pass emissions laws that are applicable. If there's not then that's another story.
    • Interesting post(haven't watched the vid). I'm surprised companies can be fined for selling products that are specifically meant for certain applications.  How can you force a customer to use or apply your products in 100% the way intended? People have been misusing products since they were invented. Heck, I ate dessert last night with a soup spoon. Does that mean the spoon manufacturer could be fined? And what of the customers who actually want to use the product for its intended use?   I'm sure we could discuss and debate this for a while, but this is an introduction thread and I dont mean to take over it.
    • I think depending how much left over cash I have after all the kids and wife (daycare, extra curriculum activities, toys, and whatever they drain from my account, wife's spending, etc.) I might go for the Advan A052 OR if the bank account says no, then Nankang CR-S.
