Had a misfiring problem - took it to local mechanic who replaced one coil pack and the car was running well for 1 day then misfire returned. I used one of the diy tutorials to replace all coil packs. car ran fine for approx 40kms then started misfiring again - nowhere near as bad as they were misfiring before I changed all the coil packs but misfiring nonetheless.What could be causing this?? Anybody?

No, did not change plugs - they were all replaced about 7 months ago....(am checking them all today, though)

I went a bit cheap on the coil packs - FUJI Ultra sparks (sold by osaka.co.nz) ($345 for all six)

as above, weak coils prob fouled old plugs, just change them, haven't heard of those coils, maybe they're getting weak already, go for .8 plugs

(this isn't forced induction performance related haha)

Plugs are most likely covered in shit from driving around with f**ked coilpacks. Change them.

If your mechanic changed one coilpack, I would never go back there again. Unless you told him to quick-fix it and change one.

Its like buying one new tyre, or replacing one big end bearing, or one brake pad. Just stupid.

      Or the brand new throwout may be unhappy...

      Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out

      Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.

      Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.

      Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
