you can, with a scan tool thingy... most workshops should have them, the Nissan models are loaded onto the cards they have for them..

i can't for the life of me remeber the error code, but the code that i'm sure would come up refers to an "ignition" problem. 99% it's your coilpack which is dead, seems to be common for the 34's. I've got at least 1 dead one... how did you know it's ur #2 cylinder?

does the car sounded like a WRX? :D

Engine light is common on bcos of the ignition error code being thrown out and for some reason this renders the traction control "temporarily unavailable" you'll know when you're going around a wet corner :)

So yeah, 99% coilpack. TCS and Slip together means the traction control is offline.

OPTIONS:

- Buy Splitfire coilpacks, expensive

- Buy 1x Nissan coilpack, $100 (new) and hope the others aren't on their way out :D

cheers,

I know it is number 2 because it is the only cylender that doesnt affect the idle when i remove the coil pack connectors one at a time, i also suspected the coils but for some reason it has done this before dropping one cylender but last time one cut out no engine light or anything came on and after the car cooled it came back but like i said no engine or tcs light were shown,

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
