Hi, so I've been getting some violent misfires sometimes at low revs. Its like that for a couple of minutes at low revs then it runs fine. Pulled the fault code and it's error 21, P1320. Googled it and I read that the most likely cause is to do with coil packs. http://engine-codes.com/p1320_nissan.html


I don't think its the coils themselves because I had them replaced with JJRs just a few months ago when I had another error 21 and a misfiring engine. And its run perfectly since then up until a week ago. I didn't replace the spark plugs then, could it be those this time? The odometer reads 135000 and I don't know if the previous owner replaced the sparks at any time. I also read somewhere that sparks can go bad from being run with bad coil packs, and I was doing that for quite a while last time I got the error code.


Thanks

Over the last few days the misfires have stopped and the engine is running fine once again. The check engine light has also stopped turning on. Could the misfires have been caused by a bad batch of fuel or something?

So I had a huge misfire last night waiting at a red light immediately after exiting the motorway. The car was shaking like an old bus. The misfire continued until I put it in third gear at about 4000rpm, after which it stopped. There were no more misfires when I came to the next red light.


Last time I took the car in to service I was informed that the rocker cover gasket is leaking. It occured to me today after watching this video that leaking oil could be fouling the sparks, causing the misfires.




Has anybody ever had a misfire from oil leaking onto the sparks?

So I just got it back from the mechanics. Replaced the rocker cover gasket and got the sparks and coils cleaned. I didn't get to drive it far yet but so far so good, there was no misfiring at idle and I didn't lose power through the low-mid RPM ranges. The engine light is still on but I haven't yet connected the consult to get the code. I'm hoping the uncleared code is Error 14 Vehicle Speed Sensor since the speedo doesn't work. Hopefully the misfires stay away!


I was told that the PCV valve and hose need replacement. How difficult is it to replace it? I'm a total novice at anything mechanical but I would like to start learning, starting with replacing the PCV valve and hose.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
