Was it the earth strap in the engine bay ?

I think the attessa system has more earths under the back of the car in the boot?

Glad it's sorted mate go hard !!

yeah. The earth that holds the car battery as well as an other earthing wire.

It goes alright lol

Been experiencing voltage drop at idle after driving the car and think it could be the battery

Over the years I have been going through wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy tooooo many batteries

And after some research I am thinking my alternator is one its way out.

So I procured this

IMG_0051_zps39778878.jpg

RH9 Alternator 130amps - hope this fixes the voltage drop issue (fyi it drops from 13.5 to 12.8 or lower at idle)

Came with this sticker - so cool - not that am worthy of putting that sticker on lol

Next issue.

Miss firing whoes.

I had my plugs fouled at the drag day so I thought I would replace them.

I took the coil packs out and they looked like this

they needed some serious TLC

While I was at it thought it would be good to source a new coil pack harness as the other one looked rather brittle and stiff

IMG_0023_zpsef5ebbf7.jpg

also got some brand new NGK platinum spark plugs BCPR7ES and I gapped them to 0.7mm

baf8d6e2-79ef-444c-a3b4-11b28ebcd86d_zps

I cleaned up them coil packs and also go hold of some dielectric compound and applied it to the coil packs where required and also around the spark plugs

IMG_0054_zps157f87f8.jpg

Plugs, coil packs and new coil pack harness all reinstalled

Went for a drive and car felt more responsive but more importantly goodbye missfire, happy Frenchmen I was

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
