motor:

S1 RB25

Z32

bigger inj

power fc

splitfires

ect ect

car runs, idles drives perfect until about 5000rpm in any gear, same spot in the rev range each time it will just start running on one or two less cylinders, clutch in and free rev and it goes away and runs perfect again

the Power FC is brand new, was still doing it with the Nisstune the car came with

the Splitfires and spark plugs are brand new

car was put on the dyno and tuner suspected there was a missing earth somewhere in the loom, but has been checked over and theyre all there so im a bit stumped

any help would be appreciated

one thing I havent tested which i will tnight is if it still does it when cruising and getting the revs up on half throttle for examle

new symptoms

was running rough while driving, gave it a free rev and at 5k (wouldnt go past 5k) coughed and spluttered and then shut up, clutched out to start again and wouldnt start, pulled over, turned key and started was spinning but motor not cranking, left for 2mins, started up fine and ran fine again???????????????

Have you got laptop or commander for it?

yup have the hand controller in the glove box

Spark plugs (cracked) caused revving problem and wrong injector seals caused similar symptoms for me. Took ages to diagnose and lots of swearing.

will check plugs, someone also suggested a vac leak, maybe good idea to put smoke machine through it? can rule out vac leak and injector seals at same time

Pressure testing the intake would be a good idea, and check the vac lines to the fuel reg/map sensor if you are running one.

shall try get the smoke machine on it on the weekend and yeh has Turbosmart FPR

Well, in that case, there's a sensor check function on the commander. Just find it and use it.

will do tonight, thanks for that

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
