ok well i have a cerfiro with an rb20det which has developed a intermittent misfire. It has had a miss for about 4 months but only at idle it would just miss a bit at the lights didnt really bother me, but now it misses while driving down the highway at 100k's, as if it is constantly missing on 1 cylinder, it makes the front of the car shake, it does it for a bit then goes away, then comes back. i changed the plugs and looking at the coil packs only 2 of them seem to have good electrode things coming out of the pack, the rest are burnt and worn away and number 6 plug had a bit of soot on it. so i figured it was that however i took the plug off each coil pack while it was running at idle and i can still hear a miss for every cylinder. I even took two lead off too see if 2 coil packs were missing but no it still misses. I changed the air flow sensor and it still does it. I pulled the codes out of the computer and came up with knock sensor and maf sensor error then i reset them and ran it and it wont register any codes now though sometimes when i rev the engine the check engine light comes on, but when i go to check the codes 55!?! cant figure it out, if it was the ignitor surely it would only miss on one cylinder unless it was the earth curcuit of the ignitor which i will check. Other wise i am thinking computer?? Tps wouldnt do it would it??

any help would be appreciated thanx. Dog

any plugs look really grey or white, could be bad connector on injector

i dont think they did, they all looked the same. If it was an injector when u disconnected one plug it would stop missfiring but it doesnt

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Komdotkom · Posted

      Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!

      Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!

      Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
