Had a misfiring problem - took it to local mechanic who replaced one coil pack and the car was running well for 1 day then misfire returned. I used one of the diy tutorials to replace all coil packs. car ran fine for approx 40kms then started misfiring again - nowhere near as bad as they were misfiring before I changed all the coil packs but misfiring nonetheless.What could be causing this?? Anybody?

No, did not change plugs - they were all replaced about 7 months ago....(am checking them all today, though)

I went a bit cheap on the coil packs - FUJI Ultra sparks (sold by osaka.co.nz) ($345 for all six)

as above, weak coils prob fouled old plugs, just change them, haven't heard of those coils, maybe they're getting weak already, go for .8 plugs

(this isn't forced induction performance related haha)

Plugs are most likely covered in shit from driving around with f**ked coilpacks. Change them.

If your mechanic changed one coilpack, I would never go back there again. Unless you told him to quick-fix it and change one.

Its like buying one new tyre, or replacing one big end bearing, or one brake pad. Just stupid.

    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2  
    • Thank you so much for the help
    • Yes it is ATF. I quote @Duncan "it takes a good synthentic auto trans fluid like Castrol Transmax Z" It's not a diff. It's a transfer case. Totally different thing. Yes, fluid will come out the sender hole. No you do not really need to drain it. Just pull the old, quickly poke the new, clean up and top up. But realistically, you should probably take the opportunity to change it anyway.
    • Hey all. I’m looking on replacing my speed sensor on my R33 GTR. Will the center differential need to be drained, and if so, the center diff uses ATF fluid D? I found information on the transmission, front diff and rear diff. Can’t find a for sure answer for the center diff. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    • I would tend to agree, especially based on the transfer oil being completely cooked by the sounds of it. I bet it was serviced every 5,000km... Which probably worked out to once every 15,000 real kms...
