its ok pauly, i know how good your massages are. Ignore all these haters, they be jealous baby. Ps. Tell yavuz ily. You at the races on cans?

Yeah man, down at the F1. 8 of us. :D

Car got ran up yesterday with new injectors. Negative. Yavuz has pulled 35% of charge time from the coils and it still fires so that rules that out. Going to try new plugs with mega small gaps to totally rule that out then we will change springs.

Well it doesn't leave too many things it can be now . Just hope it is a plug problem , quick & easy in comparison to a spring swap .

Btw , what plugs are you running? Coppers or an electrode-less type .

I have a feeling it could be a sticky spring with these cams mate. Have they checked for bind and the progressive spring tension? With the ramp on the valve train it is a likely cause.

Seat pressures are 48 lbs on the intake and 50 on the exhaust. Not much over standard which is a bit of a shit go considering these are "Step 2" HKS. Once again, the Jap stuff is mild as!!!

Just coppers mate.

All I can say to you Paul is that I hope you fix this soon because tomorrow is F1 race day. So get a few (or lot brewskis) into ya and forget about tuning the car right now.

And yes im on to my third beer and life is good.

Bit hard when you're staying with your tuner ;). As for beer count... Not sure. 12 plus so far? Quiet night... Big night will be tomorrow haha

Should be more like almost double those figures for the sort of rpm/boost you would be running. Like around 80-90 lbs. Perhaps with your new aggressive valve train/cam setup the valve springs were not spec'd correctly and your getting some valve float in that upper rpm range.

We think that's exactly what's happening. I spoke to Yavuz today and when we are both sober we will sit down and talk about what we need. We also need to factor in the new cam we are going to try soon. Something around 255 @ 11.3 with a HUGE ramp, so we need a spring to be able to close the valve at high RPM.

Well it seems like the logical explanation. There doesn't really seem to be too many other obvious options left that explain the problem.

Definitely sounds that way. I'll be devastated if we change then and this issue is still there.

Mine's do cams of similar spec if I remember correctly

OK guys.

I was out at Unigroup today. New (stiffer) valve springs have been ordered. They will be here on Tuesday, hopefully installed on Tuesday/Wednesday. Yavuz wasn't there so I dont know the details but i'm sure they are more than sufficient for the task!

Now. I have some overlays

408E824D-9A03-4A70-BD6E-5B1528A30784-158

This graph is the only two runs we have done with the boost controller on so it's hardly 'optimised'. We did those two runs with the controller on when we were trying to diagnose the "miss". Funnily enough the curve starts to flatten off as soon is it does it's thing. Either way, im very happy with the midrange this thing is putting out! (No cm timing has been played with yet.... It's as the engine got put together. Also, at 19 PSI we have seen 417 rwkw. I can't remember what RPM that was at. I forgot to get a graph of that run)

5398CC6B-5BAC-4962-A3A5-4704EA38B086-158

Playing with the computer, I dug out these two graphs for a comparison. The black line is my first ever tune with the GT-RS's on pump fuel and the red line is my finished tune just before the engine died last year. Funnily enough, the boost controller was turned ON with the RS's and OFF with the -5's. Haha!

I think I need new tyres! :D

7DCAA74A-93E3-4813-B58E-41F4AC719280-158

wow! looks like a gain of 50kw @ 4krpm!

must be happy & must be hanging to drive it

so with the gtrs's u were making 200kw @ 4krpm & now you are making ~340kw with -5s & latest setup :)

what is the difference in the run with the blue line v's the brown line (in the 1st graph) or is it just 2 runs where you were trying to diagnose the miss?

    • This was a huge help.  We followed the steps,  although shifting into 2nd was actually into 3rd for us,  and 1st was into 2nd ( steps 9 and 11) .  The long flash was the 4th flash.  So shift solenoid A is possibly the culprit.  Is this inside the transmission itself? Or is it accessible by just front the pan? Or is it bolted to the outside of the transmission?  Thanos for your help everyone
    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
