Hi... my R32 GTST is buggered and i could really do with some advice...

It all started a week ago when a water pipe at the back of the engine blew and before i knew it i had totally cooked the car... (burning oil, stalled the works... i know im an idiot and should have noticed but temp gauge doesnt rise when theres no water in it...)

anyway few days at the mechanics a new water hose, new oil and oil filter and the thing was idling nicely and not overheating.

took it for a drive and the as soon as it hit 3000RPM it started misssfiring badly!

Changed all 6 plugs... checked the coils, one was cracked and it was replaced...

Problem is its still missfiring!

Now my mechanic wants to try replacing all 6 coils... ouch $895 for parts alone... and theres no gaurantee that it will fix the problem!

Is there anything else it could be?

Is there another step to try before going down the road of spending $900?

Has anyone had any experiences with simillar problems?

any help would be very much appreciated!

Thanks.

when my AFM went it was doin the same sort of thing. Idoling a bit weird,stalling sometimes and missfiring. Replaced it with a R33 AFM and no worries problem gone. Thats the only thing ive had close.

Thanks r32skyline_89, its worth considering... i guess the question is is there anyway to test an AFM to see if its working?

but atleast replacing it cant cost nearly as much as experimenting with replacing 6 coils...

did the R33 AFM plug directly in?

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
