I had a misfire some time ago too. I had the plugs replace (gapped to 0.76) and it was still there. Turned out to be a dirty coil pack. The mechanic cleaned them up for me and it worked fine after that. I think he used electrical contact cleaner or carby cleaner - can't be sure.

I have seen on a website, that the resistance for them should be around .7ohms. I tested mine and they were all 1.0ohm. I was told by an electrical supplier that they either work or they dont. Theres no in between. Theres, measured at .67ohms, (new).

There's (ACA) were O.E. type coil packs which relates to a genuine Nissan coil pack.

I also saw a R32 GTR manual and quoted the resistance to be between .6-.9 ohms.

ACA branded would be well over the $200 mark. Anyone priced a genuine Nissan one BTW???

Iwas wondering is there anyway to check the coil pack with out taking them out.?

I have got the same problem with the missfire.And if it is a coil pack does anyone know where I can get a new one or second hand one for an R34 GTt.

I put new platium plugs in and the problem seems to have got worse.I will pull the plugs out and re check the gap.

$50 each second hand is the going rate for coils. Also, I think a gap of 0.5 or 0.6 is way too small for stock boost. Even 0.8 seems to be ok for up to around 14psi.

NIZR34GTT, the problem probably got worse with platinums because they have the weakest spark of all the plugs. It's probably just amplifying a problem with your coils.

Sorry late response. R34 coil packs new 250 from Nissan Dealer.

Second Hand 50 - 150. BTW R34 coil packs are same as R33 S2 coil packs.

Install them yourself if you can, I got ripped off charged 600 for coil pack and installation from Nissan Dealership. Never going there again. Sorry still a bit peeved.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
