dad decided to 'check the coolant level' for me before i left for vili's, didnt put the rad cap back on properly, and with the temp gauge reading between 1/2 and 3/4 as normal, i didnt realise the temp increase, got to the nissan dealer just before north adelaide, and smoke and steam started pouring out of the bonnet, and the engine died. cracked head me thinks.

ohh thats some really bad news dave

i dont think that you would be able to crack a head just by leaving the rad cap off

try putting coolant in the rad and start her up and see if there is if the coolant changes colour etc

if it goes murky then you got a head problem

Excellent idea of starting this thread Krishy! Makes it a lot easier for some of us to sort out buying and picking up stuff.

Also for filling out entry forms for shows. Maybe make it a weekly thread and see if Pete remove it say on a tuesday or wednesday?

well the whole idea of this thread was to see who was really heading out last friday night

i am more then happy for the mods to make this the weekend/friday night thread

and i agree with your suggestions as well james....make a thread friday and its deleted by monday/tuesday

that way its all in the one thread and you dont have to go through another 5 threads and make 10 posts to find out whats happening

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
