Hey guys,

Noticed the other day while taking the car for a lil fang at round 4.5krpm+ while on boost and full thorttle "splutter splutter" coming from the back of the car. Just wondering if anyone else has suffered this prob before? Im due for a service soon but its only a fluid one so i doubt that has anything to do with my prob. Last service (6mths ago) i had Iridiums put in so i don't think that could be the cause, maybe coilpacks? Or in need for a tune?

Thanx in advanced.

buy 6 BCPR7ES spark plugs and gap them to .7 gap. see how you go

+1 to do that. does it mainly happen when its under load as well?

it may be your coils, try taping them up with some good brand elec tap and getting new plugs gapped to like.8 or less depending on how much boost your running. works a treat.

Hows it going mate. The same problem occured in r32 when i was running higher boost levels. Tracked the problem down to the wrong spark plug. I've happened to stumble across that the xr6 turbo run NGK Iridium plug with a .6 gap. Part number is BKR6EIX. Hope this sorts out your problem.

I'll be getting a service in a couple of weeks so i'll get the mechs to do a nice once over. I doubt the plugs would be gone as they're no more then 5,000kms old. Maybe need re-gapping its true, i'll keep you guys updated...please don't be coilpacks (crosses fingers)

95% its coilpacks...

sure way to tell is tape them up..

I had the exact problem and now its fixed with tape.. sure its a bandaid solution.. but its been working for the last 9 months so far

The reason regapping the plugs work is the gap is reduced... and seeing as the spark takes the path of least resistance it sparks correctly.

    • I’m only posting this cause I thought I had seen a bad review on these somewhere before. Any feedback? Would you guys recommend that if I do buy these I send em to RC to have em checked before installing. Or any other suggestions?   https://www.ebay.com/itm/114009965865?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=JDl-15yLQ8C&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=QTzlFXB1S-S&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY
    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
