I'm in a bit of a bind, I have new coilpacks and a miss fire at 4000rpm that screams coilpacks. Does anybody SE have a spare set of known to be working r32 coils I could chuck in to test?

*sigh*

I got my stockies but they were misfiring after a long drive :(

I'm sure some of them would still be good although not sure which one...

Let me know

Could it possibly be the coilpack loom? I've known a few times this to be the cause too

They go all hard a crispy after heating up so much after time, and some of the clips break etc

Told Dave to check it few times, he said it's basically at same age as his coilpacks which is a year old or so.

Think he's trying bcpre7s plugs next.

Your problem may well lie somewhere here. 7s are possibly too cold, try some 6s.

He's having issues with 6s at the moment gapped with 0.8mm

He had 1.1 gap that was misfiring, changed to 0.8, same story.

He've tried another coilpacks, igniter to no avail. Dave has put up a thread on forced induction with detailed problem.

Yeah i'm not trying to be difficult and be obscure, there is another thread (although i'm open to more ideas tbh this is killing me).

It's a misfire at 4000rpm under load when hot. Boost is 14psi. Car has been running fine, misfire appeared towards end of 5000km service interval so I assumed it was just old plugs which were 1.1 gapped. After replacing with 0.8mm gap it hasn't gone away.

It definitely isn't coilpacks, igniter. I am confident it isn't the loom it's new and not old and shitty like many I have owned that I had troubles with.

Gap, can try going back to 1.1 except everyone is certain that 0.8 should reduce misfire problems...

So that leaves me with fuel pressure (I have an 044 intank which could have packed up and given up, they arent' meant to be mounted intank). My workshop has recommended i check the pressure at idle.

Charge air measurement (haven't had any issues with these AFM yet but it could be one of them being a prick). I can check this with consult.

if it isn't those two things, i'm scared, and out of ideas ;). Thanks for your all your suggestions.

i only had misfire when car was hot and revving above 4000rpm. Just like how you described. Removed coilpacks, inspected and looked visually fine. (no cracks etc). Mechanics were telling me its not coilpacks either.

Ended up replacing with brand new splitfires and problem was gone.

Unless you have tested with a brand new set of coilpacks, i wouldnt rule them out just yet...

I tested with a set of splitfires from one of my other skylines that is currently driving around just fine. Not sure you can get a better test of coilpacks? Not only that but these coilpacks are literally new genuine nissan units... really hard to believe it is the coilpacks.

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
