ok so it wasmis firing the other day and i made a thread about it. i changed my spark plugs. now it doesnt want to boost really. like it does sort of i can here the turbo spooling but its very resticted and stuggles to rev over 4000 revs especially in second gear upwards. ANNNNNNd its still mis firing. wtf so its actually worse now because b4 i could rev thru the rev range but not at full throttle now i cant get thru there at all no matter what it just starts mis firing. i checked my coil packs and the seemed all good. brand new plugs. could it be a tuning issue? some on has to of had this problem b4

did it make any difference if you put the old ones back in ? might be a dodge plug or not in properly , but prob be more likely to be coil packs. How old is the car and kms ? but i'd be trying the old plugs in again before you fork out the $600 for new coils

yeah dude its either coil packs or spark plug ive had 3 skylines and i had both probs, with the spark plugs change the spark plug gap from 1.05 to 0.85 or 0.80 car stop mis firing and the other is coil pack its a common prob with skylines on the bottom of the coil pack were the rubber bits conect they sometimes get the smallest crack u can bearly see it what i did instead of forking out 600 bucks for coil packs was got a rubber gasket glue and smeard it all over the bottom half of the coil pack this prevent the spark from going out the crack on to the tapper cover . send me a msg on how u went with that

does it start to miss fire when it hits boost and then goes alright near rev limiter, trust me u can bearly see the crack if its coil packs, the other thing is that it could be shit fuel i bought some fuel in batemans bay and it was a independent shell station i whack some octane booster and then it ran alright.just a questoin did start to run crap after u filled it up and r u using 98 octane fuel

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
