So he was playing with the hand controller.

Definately check that ur correct afm is selected. It is VERY easy to accidentally select another afm when fiddling with the controller.

Check this ASAP

I've checked the controller and it's set to R34 AFM. Being it's a Neo motor, I assumed this to be correct. The AFR has a pink sticker which I was sure is an R34 AFM. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I'll begin going through Daniel's list tonight. I'll begin by putting in new plugs and see if that helps. I'll also check for spark on each one as I go which will rule in or out a spark problem. Then I'll check fuel after the FRP. Is there only one FPR on RBs? There are three canisters which look like FPRs.

I'd pretty pretty darn amazed if it was a compression issue. I do know motors and I know what compression problems are like and this sure as shit feels nothing like a compression problems, so I'll leave that till last (I don't have a comp gauge so I'll try easy things before I buy one).

To be honest, I haven't checked fuses. Again, there's not much which suggests fuses, but I'll check them all tonight with a light to rule them out anyway.

I've also pulled most of the intake off to check for splits but there are one or two I haven't (I have tried to climb under and feel/see any problems but I'll pull em off and have a look).

It's got 3/4rs of a tank of juice. I filled up on the way home from picking it up three weeks ago.

IT f**kING LIVES!!!

God damn, mother f**king spark plugs were ferschnickered.

It's running like a good thing. Revs cleanly, although I think it needs a darn good dyno session.

God damn, that car is awesome. Not as punchy as the R33, but that's to be expected due to the extra bulk.

I'm in love!

Many, many, many thanks for everyone's assistance. It's been an interesting exercise and I've learned a shite load about RBs.

I'm still going to give it a good going over, as per some of the advice, to ensure everything is tip top.

As an addendum to this, I have just got around to changing the coilpacks and the car is now "fixed".

It was still missing at times under load and I couldn't mash the throttle or it would go spastic.

Whacked in a new set of YJs and iridiums today and it's running flawlessly. Absolutely perfect. I can mash it any gear, any revs and there's no whoa, just go and it bangs to the limiter again.

The damn thing flies. Now it's going flat out I reckon it is quicker than my 33. Lights up the rears easier (when in 2wd) and it has 245s Feddy RSRs vs 235s chinshongs on the 33.

I'm a happy camper.

    • Hi, We've all posted some thread, or know of some other person's thread, that contains information that we want to send people who are asking question to. But if we don't have a link readily available, have to go do a search for the thread before being able to do so. So, it occurred to me that we could possibly utilise the auto-text-replace function that fixes some of my swear words to perhaps auto replace some special keywords with text that also has a link to the thread. A specific example. The thread that I did with the improved R32 GTR wiring diagram scans. If the phrase "R32 GTR wiring diagram" could be auto replaced with "R32 GTR wiring diagram" then all I (or @Duncan, or any of the others that refer to the thread) need to do is remember that that's the keyword (or phrase in this case). OK, it would be better if this keyphrase wasn't that long, but it does need to be specific enough that it doesn't get triggered automatically. And obviously there are threads on turbo topics, or suspension topics that we could treat similarly. Alternatively (and/or additionally), I've been thinking about trying to build a library of the real expert content that is trapped in the bowels of the 25odd years of this site. Things like some of SydneyKid's content. There are threads that he started that should be more easily found, and he has individual posts, or series of posts, in other people's threads, containing very good information. Some of us know that it is there, but....just have no memory of exactly where/when/how we saw it. If we had some sort of library thread, we could put posts in there containing links to things we've found, suggestions for how to categorise it, then a mod or other appointed thread maintainer can copy the link and any key text up into the first post in the library thread. There are probably many other ways to get it done. Some sort of wiki is probably the best way.   Thoughts?
    • But, probably that happened to the last person too, which is why the RTV was there.....if you aren't putting a new gasket in you will need to seal the old gasket back to the metal surface with something, the gaskets will generally only work properly for a single use as they set/harden in that shape
    • What is with the horrible blue and white bit in the centre of the wheels, didn't that come off with some scrubbing?
    • Not sure how broadly you define Northside  but Castle Hill Exhaust are still around and could sort it.
    • I haven't done this as I still use the factory cluster, but I do know the circuits for the flash vs on for hi beam are separate which is likely the issue. The ON runs full power through the switch and the flash uses the relay in the engine bay. I'd hit the wiring diagram per GTSBoy's suggestion
