Hi all. I was driving normally and then parked to go in a store. Come outside after 20 mins and turn it on and it’s idling rough. Go to start driving and it sounds like a motorcycle almost. Missing bad under acceleration but under deceleration it smooths out again like normal. I just replaced the MAF but still have stock coil packs. I was wondering if that could be it. I don’t believe it could be like piston rings or anything because it smoothed out during decel and my oil pressure seemed fine. In fact it seemed there was no power loss either, just the really rough running. I thought it could be cause of spark jump? I ordered a set of R8 coil packs and the wiring harness from wiring specialists so I hope this fixes it but wanted to see if anyone had this happen to them or could know anything else that could be wrong. Thanks guys. (I’m attaching a video of my idle and accel and a picture of a stock coil pack)

Coil pack looks like its been shorting. First step put in some new plugs gapped down to 0.8mm. Thoroughly clean the coils and wrap with insulating tape.  This may fix it but new coils still a good idea.

Yeah I’m actually not too sure myself how it was running with original coils. 2 of the connectors were also broken, and one of the pins in one of the connectors was moving back and forth. I’m happy to be getting new wiring and better coils

    • No, so what happened is. I put a bunch of filler then I sanded it all down, I removed all the filler (unintentionally), then I put the epoxy primer on because that section of the panel is bare metal. The car is parked outside so I needed to protect it in the meantime incase it rains.
    • It’s definitely an import, the Aussie ones have reflectors in the rear bar, it’s also a turbo which none of the Aussie one were.    I remember back in the day I want a twin turbo z32 so bad and then I saw a 32 gtr and that was the end of that lol 
    • Same can be said for Subarus motors ha ha!   I like the 300ZX, I nearly bought a Z32 before I bought my first Skyline. It was going to be a project. Then I found out there was a bit of a dodgy title with it... As in, someone attempted to commit insurance fraud with it and there was now some dodgy legalities around it. So at 18 I walked away from it.
    • The below is what the readings I had with the fuel pressure gauge which were correct. It seems like the issue is mainly during drive and not idle. I bought the new hanger hoping it could be the issue, perhaps I ruined something while cleaning, but I have not installed it yet since I have to wire up everything with the new plugs.
    • Actually, that's not entirely true. It's also the same motor in the 1st gen Nissan Cube but they're rare as hen's teeth.
