ive changed my plugs, checked the coil packs, even checked the resistance of the coil packs with a multimeter. every thing seems to be normal. the miss is still there. only under a fair bit of load though, so it looks like im going to have to buy a s-afc

i think robo is right! it must be dumping to much fuel......

i know what u mean dude, funny thing is i am a mechanic. (a heavy vehicle mechanic though) so i only know diesl!!!!

and electrical isnt one of my stong points.

i did check all the obvious things first, but its good to get other ppls opinions and maybe learn from others ppls experiences.

looks like i will have the problem sorted out when i get my hands on an apexi safc.

thanks for your help guys.

walkoau, guess wat i have same problem wit mis fire... at 6000rpm..

wat did u do to fix it.. ur safc work good for it or wat?

i got quoted for a coil change at $400 just checking wit u before paying.

yeah the safc helped the problem but its still there cause i havent had the chance to get it tuned yet.

you should do a check on the coils yourself before paying to get new ones.

the best way to check shorting is in the dark.

Park up your car at night, start it, and have a look for the little blue sparks jumping onto things.

Get someone to rev the engine if you have to.

I did this on my Ford Fairmont (which I am selling, and buying a R33 R34 4 door skyline) and I could see the little blue sparks jumping from the leads to the engine head anything metal etc.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
