Hi so about a month and a half ago  my r34 just died on me and couldn't start it up again. 

Checked all the basics and then took it to a couple of mechanics and found one of the wires to do with the coils was shorting and kept blowing the fuse. So got that fixed and also put anew  coilpack loom in cause some of the connectors  were broken.

Now after I got the car back it feels like it has lost some power or lost its tune and it was also misfiring pretty bad at high boost/ high revs. 

I put some liquid tape and taped up the boots around the coil packs and that managed to fix the misfiring but that when I realised it definitley feels like it has less power then before. 

I have a boost dial which goes from 0.8 bar to 1.1 bar and it still runs and holds boost fine when I change it but it's most noticeable when I put it to 1.1 bar. And i think it runs a lot richer as it backfires on gear changes a lot more and uses up way more fuel.

i feel like the timing may have been messed up cause the other mechanic took the cas off and also unplugged the ecu while they were trying to fix the other problem. I haven't had a chance to check it yet but I should also add I have a link G4 Ecu that was tuned about 4 months ago. So it may have been set up differently to the factory timing settings. But from looking at the cas it looks like they marked it and put it back to where it was.

The other thing I was going to check is the fuel pump cause the mechanic reckons it may need replacing cause it wasn't pumping enough fuel. 

Any help would be appreciated I ve  been reading a lot of other posts with similar problems. But with all the different mods I guess it could complicate things. I'm still learning so am a bit of a novice but would like to try and fix myself as I used up most of my money on the first problem lol. Hopefully can avoid getting another tune as well.

You haven't actually listed your mods apart from the G4 ecu. Are you still running an AFM or have you got a MAP sensor? What kind of boost controller are you using? How much boost are you running and is it the stock turbo (1.1 bar is a bit OTT for a stock turbo)? If you have the stock fuel pump you may well be dues for a new one but if you can test the fuel pressure first that would be good to know. What do your plugs look like - have you changed them recently? Gapped them down to 0.8mm?

Oh ye sorry it has a map sensor and some kind of boost controller that goes with the link holset hx35 turbo still have to see what fuel pump I got I think it would be a walbro 500hp if not I'm definitely going to get one also got new iridium plugs when it got the tune gapped to 0.7

      High temp brake fluid?

      By robbo_rb180 · Posted

      I use the penrite 600f in my cars and have had no issues even at Townsville v8s when I drove that but I bled fluid end of day for just in case. Good value and a about 38-40 on sale. Use castrol srf on the supercars and no need to Bleed brakes over a race weekend. Do the 1000km with no issues. Over 120 a bottle I seen at repco. A quality brake pad is always a good starting point the ebc stuff I've seen let go after 2 sessions with heavier cars. I'd be going to a decent track pad and maybe those porsche air guides on the control arm to help with some air over the rotor. Helps on 86/brz with stock callipers.

      yeah I've never understood that either.... And to answer an earlier question, I write the date on open bottles and throw them if more than 12 months old (which they almost always are, because I don't need to bleed them unless I'm changing lines/calipers etc in between)

      Nah, the one that hit the boot was a big steel locker, around 6 foot height, 4 foot wide and 2 foot deep, empty it weighs about 15kg and had about that amount of stuff in it The photo didn't give a good representation of the actual damage, the large ding on the passenger side was about a inch deep, the one on the driver was about 1/2 inch deep, right on the curve, where the inner boot frame doesn't let you get behind it with a dolly Basically the same issue with getting behind the damage on the centre of the boot We could have filled it all with bog, but my OCD would be triggered every time I looked at it, knowing what hides beneath  As for the locker, I did get the shits with it and put it in the scap metal bin, but, I pulled it out and it is now sitting in the garage at home full of car servicing stuff, cleaning gear and random tools, it's going to pay for it's indiscretions

      Whilst I typically don't cheap out on things, if I can save some money, like $1000, on a clean straight panel, that gives me $1000 to spend on other stuff, basically free money really 🤔 🤣
