you should own a regular car before you take on the headaches of a classic.

put it this way, this car's gonna be driven hard once a week. if it breaks it'll go into a workshop while I drive a daily. you, on the other hand don't have that luxury.

i got my parents cars in case something breaks..

anyway, off to sus out my spark plugs and coils again

dude its not hard to suss out what the problem is. Start the car, let it idle. Go to your coilpacks. Unplug the coilpack connector. Change of sound? If not plug back in, and continue through the 6. If there is no change of sound then that coilpack is farked. Replace it, end.

If it doesnt turn out to be the coilpacks, then look towards the injectors. See if any of the plugs has come loose. If it aint the injectors or sparkplugs, it could be the ignition module (the black thing ontop of the cover you remove at back of engine)

the only difference between when you got the car and it running like ass was your brilliant stroke of genius to "reset the ECU". what did you do to reset the ECU?

do NOT do the "tape the coilpacks mod"

i did that, car drove fine for a day or 2 then whenever i put my foot down hard car went nowhere...literally

took out coilpacks and the tape had melted loose and was all over the place

stupidity on my behalf but meh live and learn.

resetting ecu (disconnecting negative terminal for a day) is fine, ive done it heaps of times with no probs.

are you sure you havent unplugged anything and forgotten about it? or any loose clamps etc?

go over your engine bay and check all hoses/plugs etc carefully

just my 1.98cents

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
