As the title states.... under load car starts missing around 4200 through to 6k and then revs through fine.... no engine mods done, (that I'm aware of), pretty much always been ultimate fuel (bp is at end of street) on my r34. Any ideas from past experiences...

From past experiances i had no mods pretty much but regapping the spark plugs fixed it. Everyone will tell you it will be spark plugs which needs to be regapped to .8 or they will say it could be your coil packs. But to start if i was you i would get the spark plugs regapped or just some new ones that are already gapped to that as after market coil packs are expensive and you might not need them.

A search should bring up heaps of results...

This is generally a coilpack issue, using different plugs (BCPR6ES coppers in my case in my old 33) and gapping them to 0.8mm might help but you're masking the root cause of the issue, which is a weak spark. A set of Splitfires or similar should solve it, but maybe see if someone will swap coils with you to test it out first?

yeah bud,

dude it was very random!! it was a flamin mongrel. cos i had nfi wat was wrong went to take it to gavin wood and OF COURSE it ran fine :bunny:.. then on the way home started again so funny but yeah hated it.. 1 day or morning it will be ok.. then on the way home terrible >_<ect so forth lol.. for me i changed afm and got new splitfires/plugs.. but yeah i did trouble shoot first.. trying the cheaper stuff first.. like fuel filter.. did nothing then i changed plugs.. nothing then swapped afm and bought new coilpacks as they were on the way out too.. worked a treat :)

Thanks for all the replies... I tried a search in forced induction, but kinda came up with a lot of stuff I didn't want as well, some of the ones I looked at were same or similar things to do. Coming up to another service so will end up with a major tune once I find a good shop on the northside and see how it all ends up.

    • 2 spots that my exhaust guy joined the 2 pipes together  Made a big difference. I'm now able to live with it. I can make it louder if I want by removing the HKS caps.
    • Hi all, considering clutch upgrade to support 1130 engine hp from 1650cc injectors on e50 at 85% duty cycle (1650 x (11.85/14.7) x 85%). Narrows down to these three as they can be converted to use gm 26 spline input shaft if I ever want to use transmission with that input shaft (orc1000f and r3c easy/cheap just change center hub; tr2cd pricier must change clutch discs). Pricing orc1000f similar to tr2cd, r3c about usd 200 pricier. Orc1000f triple plate 200mm. Tr2cd twin plate 215mm. R3c triple plate 215mm. Claimed max torque : orc 1000f 723 lbs ft; tr2cd 800 lbs ft; r3c 1100 lbs ft. Why orc1000f triple plate but claims lower max torque vs tr2cd twins? Is orc1000f underrated? Any info maxing out these clutches? Info on street/traffic driveability/pedal feel? Thank you for any info on them.
    • Some troubleshooting, connect up a timing light/gun with a proper ignition lead on coil 1. Hold the revs at 4~4500rpm and see if your timing is all over the shop, scattering off its tits. If so, there's a high chance your CAS is fked. But I read you have a Link ECU ready to go in, why not just skip all this and put that in - will make troubleshooting so much easier.  
    • Misfires when the car is fully warm are generally attributed to the coils (and/or the igniter, on cars with a separate igniter). They can stop working properly when they get hot for a number of reasons. Either electric/electronic, or from thermal expansion opening up gaps and allowing HV leakage. Seeing as you have replaced the coils, that could/should rule them out. But I wouldn't always assume so. Were the coils genuine? Or is there a chance you have bought some counterfeit Chinesium shit? Then we're back onto loom connections. They can fail when warm/hot for the same reasons. Inspections, cleaning of contact surfaces, ensuring that terminals are fully inserted, etc etc, are all justified. The same (heat effects) holds true for the other electrics and their connectors. AFM & CAS, primarily. If you try that Chinesium AFM, drive it around on low load until it is properly hot, but do'nt give it more load than you have to, except when you need to see if it will still miss. I'm dead serious about the untrustworthiness of the calibration of those copy AFMs. Injectors are unlikely to get hot unless the fuel is coming back around hot. You could try squirting them with compressed air or freeze spray to cool them back down to see if they are maybe the cause.
    • Alright, all the plugs looks good. Noticed that it starts to get bad when the car is up to temp, that's when things starts to misfire hard. next to do is Injector cleaning and such. Got in touch with a shop to do work on the injectors next Monday also help on diagnosis.
