OK, my 32R has been at the panel shop for 3 weeks.

They are very slow - it is only minor work.

It has moved all of maybe 80m in the 3 weeks, and started fine this morning, but was running rough (apparently).

It would not start tonight, and hence is still at the panel shop.

Only mod is turbo back exhaust. Plugs replaced and gapped at .8mm about 2 months ago. It cranks, but will not fire.

Is it the plugs, or coils? Anything else?

We are trying a new set of plugs tomorrow... could the car only moving around a shop for 3 weeks foul the plugs?!

Thanks in advance :P

edit - it is getting fuel, as we can hear the pump and smell unburnt fuel being spat out... and it has sat at a mechanic for two weeks prior to going to the panel shop

If youve got fuel than its definetly a spark problem, check your plugs even though they are new because if its been flooded and the workshop dudes kept cranking it then theyll be fouled, if that doesnt work test your coils, I had this problem a few weeks ago, too much fuel going in with the cold start fuel map...Good luck.

I know this is gonna sound silly, but check you filter and intake pipes for rags.  At my shop we like to stuff rags in the while working to keep the intake clear of dust.

Thanks Jon sometimes the most obvious answer is the one! Only thing is the car was started in the morning :D

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
