Iv only got the car yesterday and it is getting better the more I drive it. The car has been sitting for a while.

Could be plugs then. My plugs fouled so bad that the car wouldn't even start. That said, my car had an underlying issue (coilpacks).

Change the plugs.

Changed the fluids and filters.

The fuel filter was so clogged I couldn't even blow threw it.

Its getting better when go to accelerate and it's smooth but it's feeling like a traction control is on.

Engine is keen to go to 7000rpm but in the wet today it felt like traction was on.

Is that sounding like a diff problem?

Plugs changed tommorrow and so will coilpacks, that should sort misfire problems.

Okay I will take a video tommorrow, it's not popping it's jerking.

I just took it for a drive and it seems as soon as the tyres are losing traction it feels like your driving over light pot holes.

Car seems to wanna stall at low rev when once put in gear.

If its been sitting around for a while its possible for the fuel to have gone a bit stale and cause a few running problems, you may just need to fill it up with fresh tank of premium

Car is still jerking replaced the spark, checked the coilpacks for cracks. My oil pressure gauge sits on almost no pressure when I'm driving at about 100ks?

I'll be replacing the fuel pump next week to see if that done it?

It's making a poping noise (popcorn in the microwave)

Its happening from 4000rpm it starts. I have a video of it now but it's not very good. In the video it makes the poping noise in 2nd gear if you can hear it

Also gotta add it wants to stall when I take it out of gear, it drops to almost 0rpm then jumps back to 650rpm. It's not hunting for and idle only.

Wants to stall when Taken out of a gear to stop. Only sometimes.

I'll change coilpacks and spark.

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • 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
