As far as I am aware the car has also been in a accident of some sorts recently. I dont know the full details but I would speak to bambam privately about it. Before anyone flames me for it I think its only fair as manual did ask for the history on this vehicle.

manual - I think that you'd best ask bam about it. he's an honest guy.

I dont think that starting a thread on an internet forum about a guy is a particularly good way to buy a car.

After reading this and then re-reading the original post i can see a way to misinterperate what i was trying to achieve - it wasn't my intent

cheers again all - hopefully i can cruise with you lot in a new line REALLY soon!!

Hey Manual,

 

You don't happen to drive that Silver Magna with the plates [MANUAL] do you ?

Currently yes - but I am hoping to put those plates onto a Black line in the near future!!

I believe we cruised together at one stage - if you are part of the RICE guys!!

I got into the 14's up the strip in a FWD Family car - but now i want something a lot quicker, RWD, an yeah - a lot more sexy looking :P

Insurance Broker is the way to go ...... i checked out Just Car n Famous ...... $2.8K i dont think so ..... went thru insurance broker got fully comprehensive for less than what i pay on my parents policy. Funny thing is the insurance company they signed me with CGU i rang them an hour before the Brokers rang them and they said they dont insure imports ...... so going thru a broker definately will open up doors.

      There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:

      And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.

      Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.

      I got the full frenchys kit too. Really awesome kit. Easy to install my only complaint was the hardlines I think could be routed differently (I modified mine) but I realise the kit needs to suit multiple applications. This was the hard lines before I modified them. They were touching the wastegate pipe. I ended up reducing the distance between firewall and first bend. The made it so they tucked along the frame rail.

      Deeve, I don't suppose that you've made any progress on this? My Stagea has the exact same problem, and just like you, I've read through as much as I can online, with no real progress. My car isn't throwing any codes at all, which is a little frustrating. I've changed plugs, checked the wiring and harness. A new MAF gets here next week, but I'm not hopeful it will solve the issue.
