Ok so I was wondering if a fudged coilpack would cause a car to fluctacte at idle (1200 to 2000rpm) I cnt find any vac leaks and I jst went to go down the road and my car started hesitating and almost died at stand still, Managed to limp the car back home, I've had it on diagnostics and it comes back afm, I changed afm and still did the same thing, I've got new plugs in gapped at .8mm, cnt find any vac leaks, tps is fine, I've had 2 mechanics look at it quickly but have no idea.. I'm going to take it to 999 automotive tomorrow, but after I jst took it for a drive I was thinking maybe the coilpacks r the problem, the car is upto 137xxxkms, 3" exhaust turbo back, nd running 12psi, r34 gtt sedan..

As many as it takes to fix my car... Gotta learn somehow and As I've never had this problem

B4 I'm trying to find out as much as I can so I know what to do in future, as I've tried everything else, and as no1 has said anything about coilpacks I wanted to put it in the title to attract other people that have had coilpack issues to share with me there problems as I dnt know the symptoms and I dnt know how often ur suppose to change them as there is mixed info on them? This is a forum after all for getting information?

Check engine light is on, traction control is stuck on as wel as I snapped a nipple pulling a vac hose off on the traction control sensor but is getting replaced tomorrow, this all happened b4 that but, I did do a diagnostics and it came back afm

So I

Replaced it, didn't fix it and I was told that Rbs are common to throw afm codes in when something is wrong... I'm going to let aechanic sort it out so if some1 else knows a gd mechanic near sunnybank I will take it there otherwise 999 is my option for now

Should of wrote that more clear, but I snapped the nipple looking for vac leaks after the problem

Accured but that def is not the

Problem, unsure if the engine light came up after I snapped the nipple or because the car is now starting to hesitate

I'm not that stupid mate.... Like I said I jst need a good mechanic, I've tried everything that I have Bn told to do off this site, quite over it now cos it's my daily driver...

I don't think jez was implying that you were as dumb as a door knob.

More the fact, did it come off a car where it was working fine?

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
