cool, cheers steve. Hope i just need new spark plugs.

Have u got the steering wheel on yet?

Start with the plugs.

There is no benefit in going to Spitfire coil packs if your standard ones are OK - many claim the Nissan coil packs are better anyway, just way too expensive.

Make sure you clean the coil packs prior to re-installing, and you can use areldite (sp?) to fix some cracks.

is it scandinavian flick entry commonly used in drifting?

yeah the drifters use it alot but i only use when the car is underpowered and can't spin the wheels with just the throttle! otherwise just use the handbrake

how do u clean the coilpacks?

Carefully

I use Electrolube and a clean tooth brush.

You are trying to remove any carbon from the cracks as the electricity will travel along this. Clean will increase the resistance and make it harder to arc across.

call me stupid dave,

what what is your username derived from?

is it scandinavian flick entry commonly used in drifting?

or something far more complex that my not yet mature brain is in-capable of recognising?

dont worry craig, i recently owned up to dave that it only twigged to me recently what it meant.

only once i said it did it dawn on me :)

drying your car is the most important part i have found... especially as i have a black car.

a good chamois and a microfibre cloth is what i use to get mine dry (i move it into the shed once i have washed her so the water does not evaporate)

yeah , i might wash it and then roll it under cover and chamois it , dont have a microfibre cloth though :D

or i could use this waterless car wash i have , s**t's magical :)

my housemates dog scratched my car :P

he is so bored (choc lab). we all play with him and walk him etc, but he still needs moar.

he tore apart a thing that had a massive piece of wire in it and it has whipped against the passenger side of the car *sigh*

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
