This misfire started about a week ago. Prevalent at low revs between idle and about two grand. My first thought was plugs so I changed them out for a new set. Car is R34 N/a by the way. After putting everything back together the car ran like a clock. Whilst I had it apart I physically checked the coil packs which look brand new btw. They are green coloured and as far as I am concerned not the original ones. Am concerned because they are only held in by one bolt the second hole on the pack does not line up with the other bolt hole. Is this normal? Also the laminated steel coil the bolt goes through is loose in the coil body as well. Today coming back from Melbourne in the heat it has started to miss again the same as before so am thinking coil pack/s. Am sure genuine packs have a nissan logo and part number on them. The packs for my CA18DE Exa do. Any ideas or thoughts as this just adds weight to my suspicions about things that were changed at compliance. (Headlights changed for a crappy faded set of halogens, child safety anchors not fitted properly and some other little odds and sods) All I will say about the mob that brought this car in to the country and complianced it in March last year is I dont like munching on curry if you get my drift. Oh not to mention the crap tyres they put on it as well. I dont even know if the standard wheels on it now were on it when it landed. Anyway rant over. Advise please.

The coil packs on R34 's are notoriously weak in hot temperatures so if they are standard I'm willing to bet that's the cause (or one of)

As for the bolts lining up if be worried :S the bolts on my standard ones line up and same with the split fires...

For reference this is a pic of my standard coil packs fresh out of the carpost-95739-13908234881184_thumb.jpg

      Cas issue

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

      Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.

      boost source Size Garrett gt28 gen2

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
