Favour - Borrow Some R32 Coilpacks That Are Known To Work


Recommended Posts

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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
