Hey everyone

the problem I have I think is something to do with the ignition. Last night i attended the Vic bush fire cruise in Perth, and i hit rev limiter but didn’t stay on it for long and changed gear, however after that my car is popping really bad and it kind of struggles and looses power at times, this happens between the rev range off 3400rpm-5000rpm and then usualy clears out but then i can’t go past 6000rpm coz it just keeps bouncing off like a rev limiter would, however at these rpm’s the noise it makes is louder than normal and a lot of people said it sounded as if it had antilag( trying to put it in content to describe it better ), as time went by it got worse and worse so i decided to drive it home, while it kept miss firing like that, but just dropped into a higher gear and kept at about 2500rpm and drove it slowly.

Today i took it for a drive and it seemed fine, until the car warmed up and again bang bang bang, in every gear around the same rev ranges, so i took off the air flow meter and cleaned it, also took the coil packs off and cleaned them and inspected them for any crack's or something out of the ordinary. After that i checked my spark plugs and changed them, just to make sure it wasn’t them (gapped at 0.8), i took it for another drive and still the same problem keeps occurring. it’s become a bit worse now as even now on idle it’s miss firing, where before idle and in neutral it didn’t seem to happen.

Does anybody know what else it could be? or what else i could check? Could it be because my ecu i have is stock, and still hasn’t been chipped and retuned for the mods i have?

This issue only started last night, its never happened before and I’ve been running the stock ecu with those mods for about 2 months..

The car is a R32 Gtst with the standard Rb20det

The mods i have on the car at the moment are

- Pod Filter

- VG30 turbo (single turbo version)

- FMIC

- 3 inch exhuast

- Stock ECU

and thats about it for performance wise.

Any help appreciated.

Thanks alot, niran

sounds like coil packs, they must be stuffed tho to do that?? dunno if bouncing it off the limiter could kill them like that?

swap them with a mates and see if that fixes them

hey mate, thats what i was thinking too. maybe i will do that and just borrow some and see if it fixes it.you reckon it could also just be the stock R32 gts-t fuel pump? dying out because off the other mods?

Hey guys

To update this thread my problem did arise again after the fuel pump.. and i did find the problem so incase people do run into it again. my crank angel sensor connector had broken and one wire was not in the clip causing it to stuff up..

cheers, niran
