since I fitted the 3" dump pipe, when I go full throttle to the redline I get a pop/miss between about 5000rpm and 6000rpm, then it smoothes out and revs freely to the redline.

If I use half to 3/4 throttle it revs smoothly to redline without any problems.

Any idea what might be causing this and what I need to do to resolve?

That would be boost cut (or excessive air flow cut as it is properly known...)

Your AFM is maxing out at those revs...

Few solutions... Lean the SAFC out at those revs... Fuel cut defender... Z32 AFM... Less boost... 0.8mm gap on the plugs may help but I doubt it in this case...

Negative... I can guarantee they wouldn't look good on your car... Or fit for that matter... ?!?

Bah I thought they were the coupe version not the dodgy sedan ones :D

hmmm....OK....will have a look at the plugs first, but the previous owner reckons they are iridiums and gapped to 0.7

If that doesn't help I'll clean the AFM coz it looks pretty dirty (what about removing the mesh?....you think that would help?)

THEN I will try lowering the boost a tad, and if all else fails have the SAFC retuned on a dyno by someone who knows what they are doing.

Thanks for the info Adrian

well thats what my problem was, couple of solutions for different problems there :D

Yeah, thanks....I think I'll change the plugs to some plain old NGK coppers anyway and see if that helps.

Has anyone tried the electrical tape on the coil packs trick I read in a thread somewhere which is supposed to resolve some coil issues?

    • to have this type of adjustment possible with a curve as I wish, what budget (engine) should be planned?  
    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
