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.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
