Racing the Pulsar
- Thread starter bracpan
- Start date
Strange thing is it was playing up a little just before the run then it did the fastest climb of Prescott ever? So I think things like plugs, fuel etc are more then ok...once it started it went like a rocket and reved to 8000 rpm...now it seems back to normal.
Dam cars...lol But I will go through a lot of the things you have all listed over the next few weeks to make sure it does not happen again. Many thanks.

I think for some reason the MAF started reading things wrong so cleaning the thing out will be my first port of call. , Air Filer is new, fuel is always stored in cans so it cant deteriate and the car was stone cold when it came off the trailer so I think the MAF could be the cuplrit.
Thanks again

Yes Danny said the same thing but I did fit the new K&N back in March and been running all year with it, but you could be right that the oil has built up on the MAF over the summer, will get some carb/throttle body cleaner ASAP. Thanks again for all your help and advice, very grateful

I have cleaned everything out etc, the car started up and run smooth from the word go. On a run it first went well then missed a beat a few times as if it was blowing the spark out.
I came home swapped the new coil back to the original Nissan unit and also fitted my original plubs. Went out again, seemed ok then missed once. Found a nice quiet road and did a full race start all the way to 100+ and it pulles like a train, did the same on the way back,...it also was ticking over fine when I go tit home.
Hmmmm ill take it to Loton as it did seem fine at the end.
It does seem to be running a touch rich on the AFM, woundring if the Injectors need a clean? Will see how it goes in practice.

Car went like a dream, pulled like a train all weekend without missing a beat.
I won the class and managed to do a personal best time on a damp track!! Its been my best year by far with 7 wins out of 10 events. At the begining of the year I would have been chuffed to have one one National Hillclimb...would never had imagined 7 & the Class in the Championship.
Thanks to everyone that has helped with advice and suport.

The fact that your happy with the car now is probably the reason for all your success this year! I've got to the same stage with my car now i think, i know its pretty much exactly how i want it so i just need to work on improving my driving now. But if i can achieve even half the success that people like you and Den have had with their cars i'd be very happy ;-)

Response is on the agenda, Weight loss is your forte fibreglass phil..lol
Im already making plans for next year...have a nice big list of things to do involving losing weight of the car,,,,and me.
I will take on board things regarding responce and probaly do a few things to help that. But after taking a friend for a run the other night I realised how much difference the extra weight makes. I have sorted the suspension upgrades out, so apart from that its trying to get a sponsor and earning the money for next season.
