Well I am moving to QLD in July, finally taking the step.

Odds are I will be staying in Brisbane with family friends until I find a job that will pay sufficiently for me to cover my costs.

I drive an A31 cefiro and will be taking this car over with me when I come.

Question is, would anyone be able to assist me in getting any work in either brisbane or goldcoast. I am willing to do anything work wise(within reason).

Look forward to meeting you guys when I am over

Queensland is the best state in Australia full stop :) I made the move in December from Victoria (eek), and haven't looked back!

Can be hard to find work when you first move up, and I'll admit i was unemployed for about 2 months, but if you're keen and speak to enough people eventually you'll find something. It all works out in the end.

Is it just to be near me? *flutters eyelashes*

Oh and I do believe previous threads have reached the conclusion that a cefiro is _NOT_ a skyline. And now you know.

Its ok summoner, I'm on your side. *random glares at other people*

I'll give the cefiro a go in brutis. He's tasted nissan blood and wants more. (course, he got whupped, but thats hardly the point)

Andrew, old brutis got beaten by a sigma.... :)

But yeah, if you a forklift ticket, you shouldnt have too many probs getting something over here.

A 2.6L sigma with a turbo the size of a small african nation strapped onto it! Damn thing took 4 strong black men to lift into the car and the careful whipping and direction of a trained midget to get it all lined up and even fit in the car!

... And as a conclusion, your honour, I draw your attention to said sigma the very next week with a blown engine whereas Brutis (exhibit A) is still going strongly many months later. I have no further questions your honour, and rest my case. *sits down to applauding*

You were alone most of today weren't you?

Welcome Mark! It'll be great to finally meet you after many years of internet chatting :)

      Yet another RB Neo misfiring thread after reading all the others.

      Good tips, will get on those tomorrow. When doing the maintenance I did move a few of those connectors around, and things that are old tend to not like moving around. (Like me).

      Don't try it. It will be shit. Better chance of damaging the engine than gaining any knowledge about the old one. Maybe, but unlikely, especially if the O2 sensor is working. You can use NissDataScan to look at the stock ECU.   Cleaning the AFM is seldom necessary and seldom helps. The R35 coil & loom conversion should eliminate dud coils or plugs. But as you still have misses - look to the plug where the coil loom connects to the engine loom, and the CAS plug. Need quality connections there. Also look to injector plugs. And the AFM plug while you're at it. Also look to whether your injectors are clean and flowing evenly. Get them out and onto a testbench.

      Good to know, I feel like I am in for a rollercoaster ride that looks like a sine wave.

      Hey folks. I've been lurking and browsing the forum for a while, since I got into my head that I wanted a skyline. Having purchased an overpriced completely stock GTT, (only "mods" it has is HKS pod filter and catback) now that it became legal in the US, it was all glorious and sututu noises here and there. But then I wanted to do things right and went to do basic maintenance. After all the fluids, filters done, I did the spark plugs, that's when the problems started.. First the car started spluttering at around 4.5k RPM. Which I gapped down the new plugs and that solved the sputter there, but the car now always misfires at idle with pops when lifting off and shifting 2nd to 3rd. Similar to the issues in this recent thread. I've been banging my head against the wall, reading the threads here and trying suggestions for a couple months now, so decided to start this one to explain exactly what I tried and what is going on. The symptoms of the issue: Idle and low revs misfiring intermittently. You can hear the exhaust tone change and the shakes on the shifter knob. It happens frequently, but doesn't seem to have a rhythm to it. Pops when backing off throttle. It pops and or burbles almost feels like it spits fire when it pops. (Happens mostly in 3rd gear at around 2k RPM). When under load and after 6k RPM, it also pops when shifting from 2nd to 3rd. There's a ticking noise at around 2k RPM in 2nd gear going downhill, seems unrelated though but I am out of educated and downright dumb guesses. Not noticeable lack of power when putting the car into load. The attempted diagnosis and solutions: Unplugging coils when the car is running This did nothing to change the idling and tone shift for every cylinder. Checking the exhaust headers with thermometer They all are within what I'd say it is margin of error of the laser thermometer New spark plugs Tossed two new sets, copper, iridium and using the old ones, still misfiring, even re gapped to 0.8mm, still same thing. MAF cleaned with the "specific" spray cleaner No changes in the issues what so ever. Brand new loom and r35 coil conversion (was going to add the r35 coils anyway) car runs arguably better, still misfires, but seems like does less frequently. Placebo? Code 21 now being thrown, thanks nissan gods. Removed the CAS to check the shaft for play or anything. CAS seems all fine, nothing that indicates any issue, visually speaking. Things to attempted next: Ordered a new MAF (chinesium from Amazon, to be able to return regardless of result). Fuel with proper gas, maybe it is this California water that they sell as gas that is to blame? Plugin the link ECU and check the info using the built in base map. Go back to BMW and eat my rob bearing breakfast without milky oil mixture.   Do any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestion?
