hmm, at least i know i have that option if this other one blows.. haha

That party end up being any good? :(

Mine was pretty meh. Was occupied half the night with a gorgeous little 16 y/o bird but missed a few of my mates rocking up :( Went and did the rounds saying g'day to everyone who rocked up in that time then left to stay at a chick friends house.

No hangover or come down = win though. Now off to work :)

had a rather gay letdown to my day.....thought that i had a misfire due to the car being sitting for so long and having so much fuel flooded thru when the auto elec was tryin to get the fuel pump wiring working. decided whilst doing other things this arvo to check out the plugs, seems #2 has something wrong, as there was a fair bit of oil over the plug, and after having a peek down into the cylinder theres a fair whack of oil on top of the piston

narrowed it down to the following

gasket gone, letting oil into the cylinder

cracked ring land

crack in the head

bent valve guide

wont know till i have had it looked at, but is rather gay none the less

I would say Valve Stem seal.

While the car was sitting the oil has worked past the seal into the cylinder.

    • You all are absolute legends! Thank you for helping me put this into context with your comparisons!
    • There's probably an underlying issue with the A/C system too. I recently fixed mine, now it's fully control by the Haltech and car's factory HVAC controller  Have a squiz here:    
    • And by the way, I've also checked the ECU diagnostic numerous times and got a bad O2 sensor code and initially an Ignition Primary code, which is why I replaced the O2 sensor and all the ignition components (coil packa, plug and loom). No codes have been coming up lately despite the ongoing issue.
    • Hey pber13, unfortunately still no luck. At this point the following has been done with little or no success: - Spark plugs replaced, gapped to 0.8mm - Splitfire coilpacks installed to replace originals - Replaced Ignition Coil/Coilpack harness with a new genuine nissan one - New fuel filter - Replaced AFM/MAF sensor - Injectors have been thoroughly cleaned with an online flush (without removing) - Upper engine and inlet decarbed - blew tons of black smoke out, cleared the carbon deposits from the top of the engine and exhaust.  - IACV removed and thoroughly cleaned with carburettor cleaner - O2 sensor replaced with new and genuine one -  Smoke test revealed no vacuum leaks - Healthy compression test of 160psi across all 6 cylinders Overall the car does run a lot smoother now, no backfires between gear shifts like it did originally... but the rough idle when warmed up is still there. It may not even be a misfire but simply a rough idle. Seems crazy to me that so many people have had this issue and seemingly no one has gotten to the bottom of it, or at least never bothered to post if they did! Hope you have more luck than I did pber13, I'm at a point now where I'm just going to try to ignore it unless it gets worse. Would love to fix it but I've genuinely run out of ideas of what it could be.
