car was fine on monday, running great as always and i had booked it in for its 100,000k service with SST.

come tuesday i am driving back from work (after finding that some idiot had put chewing gum on my windows) only to notice the battery and HICAS lights flicker on and off a couple of times. a few minutes later my car felt and sounded like it was running rough (missing a cylinder).

drove to work the next day and again it was fine but again driving home it did the same as before only this time when idling the car revved itself a few times then cut out, again flashing the HICAS and battery and oil lights.

doing the same thing today except it didn't run fine this morning. checked the oil and everything last night and i can't figure out what the problem is, though i am no qualified mechanic.

hopefully SST can sort it next week. until then... any ideas ?? anyone had this happen ??

:D

took it in to SST's new workshop for it's service etc, tuneup was great for the first half hour of driving but alas didn't solve the problem :D now it's burning oil with blue smoke pouring out of the exhaust and it's gotten even worse since the service.

it's going back into SST tomorrow so ant can check the detenation sensors and computer etc though i think it might have been a fuelling issue. hopefully it gets sorted and when i do find out what it was i'll be sure to fill you in. :)

that was my first thought too :P but SST have changed all the plugs.

so far SST have swapped parts in and out and ruled out everything apart from the ECU and the airflow metre...

plus it is over fueling at low revs, which is odd seeing as i have never adjusted the fueling.

*sigh*

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

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

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
