So anyway, I changed my plugs yesterday got some NGK BCP6RES gapped to 0.7mm. Proceed to put them in, put everything back together, then start my car...

Now the fun begins. So I start her up and she is idling like SHIT, then stalls on me. I sit there cursing like no tommorow at the fact that I had to put everything back together to start the bastard and now its not running right...

I started again and took her for a drive, car drives like a dream, feels like a brand new car, throttle resposne is back! So I take car home and it's purring like a kitten. I thought OK, let me turn it off and start again. No dramas. Car runs nice. No misses on idle. (used to miss a little until I changed plugs)

What the hell would of caused it to run like that straight after I changed my plugs? New gaps? ECU freaking out at new gaps maybe and had to re-adjust?

Cheers,

trel.

Did you take the battery off at all while doing this?

Reason I ask is it sounds like the ECU went into learning mode for some reason. When this happens, the ECU retards everything and then the sensors all read everything, and start advancing everything, cranking up the power making bits to tune everything back in.

you did everything fine, The computer needs to re-think/learn every time you do a mod. Disconnect and pump brake otherwise drive it around and piss it off until it clicks it and figures out what the issue is.

Had the same drama however It did miss a little at very light throttle on the stock ecu.. Powerfc it doesnt but I cant really hear anything apart from windows shaking.

It will require a slight thrashing to get it back .. however 0.8 would of been better and 0.9 pushing it bigger spark is better if your not getting any issues

Fitting plugs does not require the disconnecting of the battery :thumbsup: Did u wash the engine? Maybe some moisture got into the spark plug tubes and it arced until it dried up. If it were me id gap as big as i could until it missed as you are really cutting your spark down.

Disconnecting the battery is not required to fit plugs but is a good habit to get into when ever working on an engine. :thumbsup:

sounds like a bit of shit got in there thats all. i wouldnt worry over it. there is a very good reason for removing the earth off the battery when working on a car, its nothing to do with the ecu, and more to do with having the head off, dropping a screwdriver onto the starter motor and watching the engine spin without oil :)

only thing that could really go wrong is if you didnt put all the cooler pipes and vacum lines on right, and that would not have fixed itself

    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
    • I ordered a GSP Front R/H Axle from here - https://justjap.com/products/gsp-premium-front-driveshaft-r-h-nissan-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-stagea-4wd#description It lasted around a year before one of the boots blew out. I'm lowered, but I have GKTech roll center adjusters. One year seems a little premature. I think I'm going to spend the extra money on an OEM cv axle this time. This website - https://tfaspeed.com/collections/nissan-stagea-wgnc34-x-four-parts/products/nissan-stagea-awc34-260rs-rb26-right-front-axle-drive-assembly Makes it sound like the readily available OEM CV axle will only fit 11.1999 Stagea and up (mine is a 2.1997 S1). The JustJap listing didn't mention any years or anything for the GSP axle. Amayama shows '11.1999' and up as well for that part number. As well as 'plastic boot type'. See attached picture. So I guess my question is, does that axle (39100-23U60) really only fit S2 Stagea? It's the front driver side. If it does, I'd love to buy that instead of rolling the dice on another GSP. I've found that OEM one cheaper here: https://www.partsfornissans.com/oem-parts/nismo-jdm-r32-r33-r34-skyline-gtr-r32-gts4-right-front-axle-3910023u60 and here https://www.nissanparts.cc/oem-parts/nismo-shaft-ft-drive-3910023u60 Just a little confused because the JapSpeed listing for the GSP front driver axle doesn't mention any specific years or anything and it fit my S1 Stagea fine. So will 39100-23U60 fit my S1 Stagea even though technically it says '11.1999' and up? What would have changed? Thanks.  
    • Thanks for the info. The only "Issue" I've had with the shifter is I always found the throw between 4th and 6th gear too close. I'm always worried to shift into 4th accidently and sending my motor to the moon. Adam LZ recently came out with a video and stated Serialnine revised their shifters to correct this and will change all the revised parts for 150$. Strangely enough, I contacted Serialnine right after and they denied it and said it's bullshit. I found that strange as he's a distributer. I'll keep this forum post updated on that saga.
    • Yep that is correct. It allows you to adjust the short throw range from what I can tell
