Just need some help, I did do a search but it seems the coil pack misfires others people have are at higher rpm.

I have just got my car going after having a bent valve replaced due to broken guide.

So anyway I put the engine back in the car, everything is the same as when it was running before, besides im having to use stock coil packs and ignitor. (My split fires and ignitor that I was using before were stolen while engine was out)

Once everything was hooked up the car started first crank and idles fine, I connected the laptop to the vipec and have put a timing light on it and set it to 20 degrees which is what the vipec displayed as base timing.

As soon as i apply revs, say contantly holding it at 2000rpm it develops a miss just like a bliping stutter sort of thing. While its missing i have tried disconnecting coilpack leads one by one and you can hear it drop spark on each cylinder. All sparkplugs are good and im using the same coil harness as before.

I took it for a spin up the road and it gets worse through the rev range. All coilpacks look like new and I have had it running at night and cant see any spark jumping around either which makes me think its not the coil packs.

While the car is parked If I stab at the throttle and rev it to 3-4000 there is no miss and it sounds fairly clean, its only when i hold contant revs or its under load that is gets the stutter/misfire

There are no afm's so can anyone tell me if theres a good way to determine if my problem is the ignitor or the coil packs? I dont have access to any spare coil packs or ignitors and I rang Nissan today and got quoted $876 for new ignitor.

Wat spark plugs are u using? Wat gap did u set them at. Did u check if they where cracked or any trace lines on the white porcelain.

How old is the fuel? Does ur laptop show anything odd when the miss occurs.

The plugs are the same plugs it had in it when the car stopped and they still look fine. Think they are 10 or 11 iridiums

Injectors are brand new 800's, the quarter tank of 98 fuel in it has been there since the 21st of march to be exact... Could this be my problem do you think? And would it miss even off boost just above idle like its doing?

I just tried swapping coils one by one with another one I found- This didnt help. Plus all the coils look good with no cracks or jumping spark in the dark

My laptop didnt show anything besides all the vitals stats- and I dont really know what to look for anyway. It shows manifold air pressure and all temps but no errors come up or anything. Plus it idles perfect besides the odd little stutter which gets worse the more contant revs you apply.

I spose next step is to put some new fuel in, new spark plugs and try get another ignitor to try. And then chase my tail some more.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
