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 .

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to some I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
