Is it just hard to crank? ie cranks slowly then fires or you get a "tick" every time you try but nothing much else. Keep in mind in 33s the battery is in the boot far from the starter. original or a jap battery maybe well past its use by date by now and also its a damn cold day in melb and cold batteries will allways struggle. get a free check at the autobarns or k-mart.

bad miss fire under boost (technically ignition break down) is generally caused by one or more faulty coils. plugs are a pretty basic device and dont often cause failures. If you can accurately re-gap the spark plug to smaller setting do that try .8mm instead of stock 1.1mm. this will make the coils job easier and should temperarly reduce ignition breakdown.

Were all plugs fouled? If so i would geuss module. remember if you have wet plugs you are unlikely to decent igniiton; dry plugs and not running right is lack of fuel or no fuel.

hope this helps or steers you in a direction.

I am a mechanic with limited diagnosis experience. i have had a bit to with imports and and this just rule of thumb stuff.

hey im in campbeltown area,

i just put new plugs in regapped to .8 but then it idled like crap revs would go up and down, so put them back to 1.1, new plugs made it go a lil better but still pops and shit on boost,

definatly over fueling, plugs were fouled up again when i pulled them out this time, so i dont think it will be fuel pump now. tapped the coil packs made no difference,

might try anfd get some new or second hand coil packs try that next

still hard to start on cold start after all this as well, definalty not the battery checked that still around 13 volts

i realy dont think its the coils as they cuase a miss when faulty not a back fire your on the right track when you say its running rich back fires are caused when engine is to lean or to rich or the timming is out its most likly an air leak your air flow meter or fuel pump

ok ive now put a 040 fuel pump in, changed the fuel filter found ther was a split hose replaces that fuel line that was split, starts 1st time every time now.

but still have the problem as it comes on boost 3 to 3.5 thousand rpm it cuts out like the whole engine then starts back up and goes hard again, but still back fire now like every gear change

rrrr so fustrating any1 reccomend some where i can take it im over tryin to fix it now, decent workshop that wont rip me off

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
