Hi all, wanting to know if anyone out there in wagoneer land has had the same issue ive got with my 1999 s2 Stagea RSV. Basically im chasing an intermittant missfire, intermittant in that when it does start missing it does for usually a few minutes then goes back to normal and when it misses it brings on the engine check light plus the traction control off light and another light that says "slip". It also wont rev without poping and farting past 4500rpm. I have tried a scan tool, but it wouldnt read anything, so before i head to a mates workshop to see if his scan tool will read the stags ecu i thought id see if anyone else has had a similar problem, with a solution. Cheers guys :thumbsup:

I had a similar problem that gets mentioned on here a bit, in my 2000 C34 S2 Rs Four. Intermittent misfire always accompanied with engine check light.I went to a mate who put a scanner on it which was confirmed at another mechanics and it reported something like "primary ignition circuit" or something, this was nine months ago. Changed the coilpacks to Splitfires part number SF-DIS-008 from JustJap and haven't had a problem since. In my case, it's a known problem.

Regards Craig

Thanks for the replies guys, replaced the plugs this arvo and took it for a test drive. The miss at around 4500rpm has dissapeared and it pulls right through to 7000 with no hassles now :thumbsup: Will give it a few days to see if the miss shows itself again, if not then all could be good. Once again :thanks: .

    • Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.
    • He's still joining you, he's just delayed it and won't have the fulleh sick ITBs...
    • The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.
    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
    • So I'm in the final stages of assembling my single turbo RB30/26 and had a question regarding MAP reference points.  I've seen several recommendations such as tapping the cylinder 2/3 ITB, tapping the intake manifold at cylinder 2/3, or using a point on IAC. First two are doable but require permanently modify part and the third is "out" as I plan to delete the IAC.  All that to say my question is can I used the "bleeder" in the center of the ballance tube as a MAP Reference? I'm running a catch can so I don't need it for the PCV system. My thought process is it "pulls" from all 6 cylinder, and it's between the ITB and the cylinders making it ideal for MAP reference according to what I can find. Thoughts?
