Hi guys I'm Daniel how are ya?

Sorry I'm new here and just bought a lemon and wondering if you could HELP PLEASE?.

my s2 c34 Stagea has been to the mechanics 3 times and they can't sort it

I had a misfire fault a while ago turned out to be coil pack, so replaced all 6 and spark plugs too.

I've had the battery seem to go flat for no reason too, multiple times I've had to charge it to be able to start it, not sure if it needs replacing or if there is something causing it to go flat???

Now I have this fault 21 which is "ignition failure" and after looking at it they noticed the clips from the coil harness a few had broken so the connectors could be coming loose and causing misfire, so I had to replace the coil pack harness.

Now past few days the car has done 3 things

1)

Turn on and no warning lights and runs fine for a bit, then runs like its on 4-5 cylinders,

2)

Then kept running like shit with the check engine light on all arvo.

3)

Stopped to get fuel, left accessories turned on by accident then went to start and it was like the battery was flat so I got a jump start and now everything seems ok

Now back to misfiring badly.

I replaced the battery yesterday too as my mate tested it and said it failed the test but still same issues.

ANY HELP AT ALL WOULD BE AWESOME.

Cheers

Daniel

With the car off, check the current draw by putting a multimeter in series with the battery (dont turn the car on!). Put it in amps range.

Get a baseline reading then start pulling out fuses one by one to see if a particular circuit is causing the current drain.

Otherwise the battery may not be getting charged by the alternator, but theres not much point guessing without taking measurements.

and don't worry, it's likely just 1 or 2 problems that haven't been found, not an overall lemon. these are well engineered and built cars, so once you get someone who knows them to sort it, it will probably be great :)

Ignition pack? So the part before the coil pack itself? Could cause the misfire. Your either not charging as you should or something is left on when it shouldnt be... could always install a battery cut off switch if you cant find the issue.

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
