That's a beautiful piece of machinery there Dale.....that's a good price too IMO.

I've got the updated version of that engine in my truck but with 2 snails hanging off it.

Crap!

Got the news this weekend that my uncle is in surgery at the RAH ICU and he's not expected to make it. That will be another uncle I'm losing to bowel cancer. He is a top bloke and has lived a good life. Hopefully he's got some fight left in him. Bowel cancer is no joke people. I get tested every two years. Its only $36 every two years to ensure you can keep enjoying modding cars for years to come.

thats sad man..hope he has the strength in him to survive through it

Spent the arvo changing coilpacks to not only find out that its not coils causing missfire, but also to snap off one of the bolts that holds the coil in. wicked.

aargh, these bolts are so fragile... i snapped like 3 of them when i had the same issue...

so what have you tried so far to find source of misfiring?

well i took out a set of heavily-siliconed coils and replaced them with a spare set i got with the car, chucked come electrical tape around them first, but no dice, still missing under load. only other thing i can think of is a split in silicone joiners/piping thats only opening up under load? Gonna book it in to Pitlane to get the bolt out and replaced, and see if they can't diagnose it for me.

So you've replaced a dodgy set with another dodgy set? Buy some Splitfires, if the issue persists then you can rule out coilpacks.

As for the bolt, depending on where it snapped, use a set of pliers, wrap it around the thread of the bolt and work it out that way, done that before on my car, easy as piss.

^^^ or take the whole cradle out if theres no bolt left on top of it... thats what i had to do...

as for splitfires... that would be my last resort because they are for suckers :ninja:

    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
    • I should video mine, will prob do it tomorrow    Between 1st and 3rd, you could fit another two gears. That is how loose and wobbly it is   horrible:(
