Got a misfire. It's most noticeable in 2nd under full throttle and it starts misfiring at about 5500rpm. In 4th at about 5000 rpm full throttle. I'm guessing it's coilpacks. In all other regards she's running fine. I'm sure other gears too but these are the stand out occasions.

Is this likely?

Cheers.

ANother vote for splitfires, had the same thing happen to mine

PS, hows your gearbox? You got the one from Sydney yeah?

Sounds like the coils then.....I think they're now $625ish. Nissan wants $1,200....

Gearbox is OK. Bit of bearing noise and 2nd synchro could be better. Long way better than my old one, but I'm still looking for the gearbox holy grail.

Id check to make sure 110% though before buying.

Simply swap over with someone's who you know works.

You can use mine if you want, they are near new splitfires.

A kind offer. You're quite right as I'm only guessing it's the CPs. Drop me a PM with your number and I'll call to arrange?

Cheers.

umm instead of buying new coil packs why not just repair them? and when you have cash get splitfires then.

when i had my 33 repaired it then and never had a problem afterwards. mates GTR33 is putting out 270 atw and was getting misfires like you on full woot did a repair and all is well

my current car R34 GTT 240 rwkw also had misfire and 3 hours to repair and its as good as new.

all you need to do is take it out clean it all up then put a nice thick coat of clear nail polish. i did 3 thick coats on mine and took about 3 hours from taking it all out to going for a test drive.

all it is one or more of the coil packs have a fine fine hair line crack on them so on fool woot the sparks archs out of it causing it to misfire.

its very easy to fix and is a cheap alternative while saving up for splitfires.

Thanks for your input Ash but I think I'll go for a more robust and permanent solution. The CPs are now 18 years old and I can't be fugged going on my next all too rare drive to miss out on my fun because my....erm....wife's nail varnish didn't do the job. Glad your trick has worked for you though.

      Slight brake pedal stutter after new pads

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.

      Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.

      My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.

      Steps to DIY sanding car back ready for respray....

      By silviaz · Posted

      Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.

      Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
