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

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
