Hi guys,

I recently went to the track, and although the first few outings were fine, after a while it began misfiring whenever I'd be cornering. It seemed fine whenever I would hit the straights.

It had roughly half a tank of fuel, is an R34 (which I think has a bit of baffling in the tank anyway), but other than that I'm a bit ... baffled ...

No smoke was seen coming out either.

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

Cheers!

Thanks for the replies guys!

Does it still do it with a full tank?

Yep it was fine when I entered with the full tank - is half a tank typically low enough to get fuel surge on an R34?

^ what he said. Certainly sounds like fuel surge. Might be worth checking the fuel pump cradle is correctly locked into its bracket and that the sock is present.

I haven't double-checked this one, cheers, will pull it out and see

Even if all still in place/locked in properly, it's probably a good idea to get a surge tank in any case!

Thanks again guys

Ah righto, cheers for the info, hopefully doesn't need to be replaced!

Will take a look at it and make sure it's secured firmly as suggested and perhaps see if any room to drop it a bit more; will also perhaps just take a jerry can to the next track day and keep the fuel topped up, before going down the route of surge tanks etc

    • @Vee37 How much do you really care about finding these pads again? If your pads are quiet, work well and produce minimal dust, really isn't that enough? If you are set on finding the exact pads again, I suppose I'd do something like this -  Visit your local Jax, find out what brand of pads they carry. If the Jax workshop you previously went to had the pads on the shelf, then you can almost guarantee it will be of said brand.   I'm guessing you don't have the receipt for the previous work and pads. Can you visit a Jax workshop and see if they can look up your previous job to see what pads were fitted?  Still no luck? Put your stalker hat on, find the staff that used to work at the Jax store and ask them. Talk to local workshops, try to find out where the mechanics went to. Talk to Jax workshops, maybe they relocated to another workshop. When it comes to mechanics, its a small world. You'd be surprised how easy it is to track someone down. If these ideas don't work, shit will start getting crazy very quickly.... You could find out every brand and model of pad that fits that car... and try them individually ticking each off the list if it wasn't the one you were looking for.... If you go down this path your going to want to learn how to swap pads yourself, it is very easy, takes minimal tools and space. If you have room to park the car you have room to swap the pads. Plus you have the advantage of making sure all the brake hardware goes back in so they won't squeal! 
    • You miss spelled bearings...
    • Just putting it out there, that's a decent list. You would be better off *not* doing *any* of that and buying someone else's modded car. Like mine. Or anybody else's. Yes it's lotto dependent and all this and that but that 70K (remember, double your guesses) could go elsewhere. Keep it stock, save your money, go lowball @Dose Pipe Sutututu :p
    • Does not mean what you think it means. The continual rising coefficient is the coefficient of friction that continues to rise with increasing temperature. Not "rising during a single stop", except inasmuch as the brakes should get hotter during a single stop. The RR would not be the best choice for a streeter. Yeah....no it's not. JAX would rummage around in the "shit pads we use for all shitboxen that come in here" and install those.
    • @Kinkstaah I've got my list.. but most of them is to do if I ever win the lotto
