Recently my Gt-t has started missing a little at 5k revs it is worst when I plant it (auto) and it has to kick down an gear into first, sometimes it's quite violent other times its not even noticeable.

The only mod is the exhaust and that was done before I bought the car. Any idea's?

yeah mine does it too.

it used to do it all the time, but then i regapped plugs idown to 0.6 it only does it evry now and then now.

When i regapped the plugs i checked all my coils they looked perfect. It still does it though so i really dont know the exact answer and i dont think anyone does.

someone has said the computer doesnt like higher than standard boost and it richens it up which results in the popping you me and many other are experiencing.

the exhaust you have on will cause a slight boost increase over standard so the ecu might be doing it???. Mine started doing this when i put my exhaust on so i can sort of see the logic behind this theory.

So at the moment i am saving for splitfire coils and safc2 hopefully that fixes the problem. If not its got me fkd and i will sell the fkn thing and get a gtr.

I love my car but this stupid problem really pisses me off. SAFC2 and new coils better fix it

also it seems as though its a more common probelm with the auto's

if someone knows the exact answer and is not just speculating like me and others

please HELP!!!

i dont want to spend all my money on safc2 and splitfires only to find out that it was something else. hehehehehe that would drive me even more crazy.

Thanks for the replies.

I will checkthe coils. I also have a fair few mods being put on, on tuesday, so I will get the mechanic to have a bit of a squiz while he is poking around. Will also regap my sparkplugs at the same time, so hopefully the problem is fixed.

If not I hope my new ecu will fix the problem. That will be getting installed and tuned sometime after tuesday.

    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
    • Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂
    • And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
