baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha, you're kidding right?

Nah man i was serious,

i thought it only ever served another purpose in turbo cars cos they provide spark along with the coil packs to provide boost etc.

i think you need to do a bit of research on how engines work.

Are spark plugs just used for initial startup? Or do they serve another purpose also?

For when you use your head lamps also, so if you do a lot of night driving they're going to need to be replaced more often.

Dont listen to him ^^ Thats not true!

Spark Plugs are used for engine braking, you know when you take your foot off the accelerator the car slows down, thats because the spark plugs shoot flames and sparks at the pistons causing them to slow down, which makes the engine turn slower.

Dont listen to these guys TUFF-350, the spark plugs are only used for start up and for indicators, they can be used for headlights as the are never on all the time. They turn on and off quickly, like the indicators which is why indicators flash.

Im always happy to help my fellow skyliners.

all lies.. spark plugs are just there to fill the holes they put into the head.. they don't really serve a purpose.. kida like wheels.. they only fill the gap they placed in your bodywork..

stfu you jerk

spark plugs are only on rotaries, everyone knows this

I had a chat with my uncle who is working in Nissan as a Mechanic. He reckon try tightening the valve cover, if not the seals have to be change.

As funny as all this plug humour is, just need to know which dealer your uncle works for, so I dont go there. Ever.

Valve cover bolts are not the issue, seals are not replaceable. He really should know that seeing as most newer Nissans run the VQ now. Common design issue with the rocker cover.

hahaha, you slack kents.

here you go man. have a look/read thru this, and then search for more stuff and read that too.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
