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*

    • I see what you mean on that last paragraph and makes sense. I am leaning towards because I made the repair/filler area large that I didn't use a long enough block. Will minimise the area and let you's know how I go. This is random but I noticed when I put epoxy primer it felt flat but that's just temporary.
    • Tried to repair with filler only. The block is a foam block but quite hard and I put a velcro on it for sandpaper, the hook and loop system. It's not one of those super soft ones that just follow the panel. Similar to a dura block.
    • You need one of those automated sprays that puffs a nice small every 15 minutes in their room. Except swap the nice smell for chloroform...
    • Don't step down power supply size, maintain it the whole way. It's how I'd do it. OR, Id have one feed, with one joint that splits out to six smaller gauge wires that go to each coil. I wouldn't add joins like stepping from 12 to 16, at the first two coils, as if you try to continue that fashion, each joint will introduce a voltage drop. In theory, earths should be the same size as power feeds, however in this case the main power needs to be bigger due to the average size current. So the next question is, how much current do these coils actually need?
    • I think Murray is onto it. It's sounding like either it's a soft block, not long enough block, OR if you're chasing waves, you're going in the direction of the waves, instead of across them. Rotate your sanding pattern by 45 degrees is something to try. You said you're going in an X, so now instead, from the same perspective, do a "t" instead.   If you're not able to have the block sit on top of two high points, and not touch the low point between them, you'll never get it flat.
