i gave my engine a clean today, sprayed degreaser on it left it for a bit then gave it a spray down at the car wash,

i coverd the pod with a plastic bag and everything to keep it dry,

now when i take of it "flutters" at about 3000RPM.

i need new coilpacks and i know that feeling, but this is differant.

any help would be great guys.

cheers

my guess is that there is water down around the spark plugs/coil packs and it is making them arc out. if you have the rocker valley cover still on, pull it off and i bet you will find a heap of water in there. if you have a compressor use it to blow it out. otherwise remove the coils and use some tissues to soak it up. just make sure you leave your spark plugs in. you don't want the water getting into the cylinders.

once you have dried it all out, put the coils back in and leave the valley cover off and go for a drive and see what it does.

    • Yea my thought was tighter engine when hot is more load a poor ground connection can't take. On that note, I had time to check my driveshaft verical alignment tonight, it's +2 and -2 at either end, so thats perfect and how I had set it up last year. What would be the easiest way to check horizontal alignment between my diff and transmission? I can think of a few ways but they're all complicated and I feel like I'm overthinking it. I'm hoping it's that as I can't see any other reason why I have developed driveline vibration since I put the motor back in. 
    • Thank god. I thought I was the only one, nobody seems to mention this (cause nobody really goes this far in Sedan land). The car's track is 10mm wider at the rear, which explains why the rears sit a little further out for the same size wheels. There's not really many options in widebody land for sedans anyway - People will just use whatever came out of the box and then buy wheels/spacers to suit. To get it perfect you'll likely need custom wheels with custom offsets if you really want to get it perfect which is what I plan to do, but I also plan to utilize more of the inboard space for tyres at the rear... which is also something nobody ever seems to do.... OR my maths have failed me after 20,000 attempts and I'm about to make huge mistakes. 
    • What colour is that?  A mate of mine went red/black on his SLR5000 tribute recently also.  And yes, also glad to see this still progressing albeit slowly. 
    • found a company that makes a flat gauge face 3-d printed mounting base kit to eliminate the dished style gauges. if anyone else is looking to do the same https://www.dashfreaks.de/shop/flat-dials-holder-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-gtt/    
    • I installed my link ecu shortly after. But car ran fine with stock ecu and r35 coils, just had the traction control and slip lights on.
