Like I say all six coil packs are brand new. The misfire was happening before I change all coil packs and now when I get all brand new coil packs. The misfire continues to happen. After upon inspecting all six spark plug. There is one foul dry plug. Meaning that cylinder is what causing the car to run on 5 cylinders I change the foul spark plug an it happen again. That dry foul plug smell like fuel

So why isn't it the wiring to the coil?

It's very hard to explain something to people that don't want to listen Ben, but good on you for giving it a go. :P

We have only wasted more of his money, somehow due to his mechanics incompetence.

man, what a tedious job! and kinda scary to pull down a perfectly running motor past a point where i was worried i would cause a bigger issue...

i couldnt get a final result as good as others. left the bits soaking in unleaded petrol for hours, then scrubbed, then high pressure cleaned. all the intake parts seem to have been stained, but the worst is gone. even the secondary intake butterflies were caked badly in at least a couple millimetres of crap.

guessing it would only have looked perfect if i let them soak for 24 hours or more.... or had them acid dipped. didnt have enough time left to do that.

egr valve now blanked off, manifold coolant heating pipes bypassed, no ecu faults have come up.

plenum spacer installed

all learn procedures worked first time. had a big cough and misfire when it first started which scared the sh*t out of me, but the procedures sorted that out

car now accelerates with 3 people in it at the same rate as it did with just me. fuel consumption to be monitored. no change in sound as far as i can tell.

just need an oil catch can to stop crank case oil blow back to cylinder 1 and 2

thanks to all for tips and pics which were a big help

Did you use the resistor method for blanking off your EGR? I had a Kinetix V+ plenum (that i'm now returning because when I ordered it I was unaware of the EGR valve built into the factory plenum), now I have the Motordyne 5/16" spacer coming and plan on blocking the EGR when installing the spacer. I cleaned the factory plenum (upper and lower) but still need to do the intake runners. How did you go about cleaning the butterfly valves? Scrapping and vacuum, or throttle/brake cleaner? I've also Seafoam'd the crankcase and fuel-system and have noticed significant performance increase but am looking forward to finishing this beast of a project and Seafoaming through vacuum lines to complete upper engine restore.

Hi guys.

I know this is an old thread an not even sure if any of you are still around, however i wanted to thank you all for your input and comments, i brought a 2001 250gt with 130k on the clock and was surprised/ disappointed at the lack of performance and terrible fuel economy i was getting from it, i did some searching and came across this golden thread, i decided to tackle this project myself and started the tear down, scared myself shitless when i started it up the first time as i had left a vacuum hose off!, put it all back together and she is purring like new.

thanks again guys (and girls if any?!) you have all saves me much pissing around and money.

after a week i went back in and stripped the plenum again to see if any further buildup/ oil had collected (i like making my life hard) there was more oil in the bottom chamber and i decided i hadnt done it well enough the first time so decided to polish it all up and put in some iridiums while i was at it, got a great finish this time.

Hi guys I'm a newbie here . I bought a 300gt a few months ago and it was a bit sluggish so decided to clean the intake manifold up . Have done this and all back together now but the car won't start . It turns over and has compression and fuel and spark but just doesn't want to start. Has anyone else had this problem?please need help .....

Check the vacuum hose running from the swirl valve solenoid (in front of the plenum) to the swirl valves (under the lower plenum), mine had a kink in it when i first put it back together and i had the same issues, reconnected it and sorted out the kink and it fired away as if nothing had happened.

Did you unplug the loom? A few pages before mentioned about the ecu forgetting where the throttle is or something to that effect.

Glad I found this post too, gives me one more thing to do on the new car. Might stop throwing codes and pulling timing

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
