Rang the guys at UE today. A new set of injectors are in the car. It hasn't been ran up under load yet so we don't know if thats the issue. Tomorrow we will know. I have a funny feeling its a valve spring. Stupid car!

I wouldn't think it's a valve spring because you say it only does it when loaded up .. A dud valve spring & it would be rooted everywhere .

At 19 psi it happens at 7000 RPM

at 26 is happens at 5000 RPM off

at half throttle we can turn it to 8500.

More pressure behind the valve forcing it open? I'm sure the ramp rates of these cams are not helping the situation haha.

I had a miss with my other gtr and the cause was a faulty coil pack (what do u expect after 20yrs of abuse). Splitfires fixed that.

However, your above post throws my theory out as it definitely sounds more mechanical. I agree with u paul but its not an educated guess.

Definately not coils. Borrowed Joey's set which did 430 ish 2 hours before hand.

Wasn't this a freshly built head with new springs etc ..

Hmm it's strange alright but I would still think if a spring was off you would still encounter problems at 8500 rpm .. But it doesn't do it at partial throttle.

Everything in the head was brand new. The springs are HKS step 2's. Maybe due to the fast closing of the valve it's just enough to cause issue with higher boost at higher RPM?

Shim the valve springs. They need more seat pressure!

What Sean said . I tried looking for the spring pressures on HKS step 2's , but can't find figures .

It would seem you may have a much too aggressive profile for the springs .

    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • This one?? In other news: I cannot tell the difference between my red MX5 with the silver grey hard top......... and the Ferrari 599XX EVO, they might as well be twins, well.......apart from the big wang hanging off the back of the Ferrari...🤔🤣, without the wing they are identical

    • I think you'll find we're confused about what you were trying to do and how you were doing it. I would have thought that block rigidity was something you measured while loading the block in beam or in torsion, and that you would do so before and after grout filling, to see if putting material in there created a "composite" construction with the expected rigidity increase. Notwithstanding that the true function of grout is less about gross rigidity than local (ie preventing bore deflection/splitting and tying the bores to the main bearing locations a little better, etc etc). It is nearly impossible to follow your description of what you've done without closing ones eyes and making "aliens" hand shapes in front of oneself to try to follow the manipulations you've made. It's still unclear to me what you were trying to prove.
