Its a strange one Marcus. On the dyno it's at the same rpm every time (7000). It's not a hard cut or a "rpm cut", but a faint miss. The best way to describe it would be three softest rev limiter ever.

In the road however, depending on how cool it is, it may happen earlier. Gtr Sean drove it before we left for the nats and it missed at 5800. Stupid car.

Make sure you get Yavus to check the settings for ignition/dwell etc. It's the only thing (computer) that has been changed....

I was there today. Tried that one too. :(

Didn't you just replace the alternator? Could the new one be playing up?

Not a chance of that ! 20 mins before it came off my car and it was pumping at full power output. She is almost brand new unit and designed for high power GTR's.

It should be boosting electrical output.

Chuck it on Paul and recheck all your earthing.

CDI time !

Naw wouldn't go that route either. I have a 500R on my 'mini-me' version of Paul's and mine has break-down once it's hot. Hard to nail this one down. Just not sure how to get a hotter spark with lots of amps to make it fire reliably.

Was good to see you lay a decent time there Paul. I'm spewing a bit cause I had to drop out of play so soon. Might have been able to give you at least a little run on times.

Is that not more likely coils then? What coils were you driving with the 500r?

Yeah, your issue is a strange one considering you have tried another set of coils and it didn't change anything :(

I reckon the issue might be the ecu, specifically the fact you're running wasted spark... it'll be over working you ignition system IMO

Thing is, it was perfectly fine 9 months ago. It's pretty much a standard setup bar the igniter which has been modified. Joey has three exact same setup and no issues.

Hi paul

How does the car feel with the higher comp and tight squish ?

Feels really grunty. No need to rev it. I would have liked more comp but without custom pistons it wasnt going to happen.

It will be a few weeks before the tune is finished.

paul,

have you whacked another set of working coil packs or an igniter on the car to test yet?

Yep with coils that just did 425 rwkw a few hours before. Changed ignitor box off the same car. Changed plugs. Then I yelled at it!

Fancy trigger wheel all in check?

Doesnt seem to be any issues there man. Nothing on the logs.

I'm sure it's something silly thats been overlooked due to a serious lack of time.

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
