V36 Missing Hessitation?

Hi All.

I have an 07 V36 (VQ35HR) and I think I have a very minor miss. When accelerating lightly usually uphill or hard acceleration I can feel an ever so slight sense that the power is not smooth and I can only describe this like a miss. There is still plenty of power but the delivery feels like it could be smoother. Before I go changing plugs ($100 for set of iridium's) could there be anything else to look at?

I have data scan but not really sure how to us it to identify this sort of issue (assuming there are no code issues).

Thanks.

Just change the plugs, good chance they are flogged, or the previous owner skimped on them.

Gives you a good chance to clean the coilpacks and check the rocker gasket isn't leaking into the plug tubes.

Got the spark plugs and off I went to replace them. Even got a new socket to fit as is has a 14mm hex which is tiny. So started on the passenger side and could only remove one plug. The socket seemed to be slipping of the hex. I though maybe the socket was too thick so I ground down the outside of the socket thinking it was fouling on the outside of the plug hole. Still no luck. So I stopped and put it all back together again. I have only replace one plug and didn't bother on the driver side as I'm sure I will have the same problem. I didn't want to strip the spark plug, thinking I'll have to take it to the mechanic and spend $200 on labour unless someone here can help.

Is there a special tool for this job that only Nissan has? Has anyone had this problem before.

      Seemed to be good when Jeff owned it but they did a shit job on my car, probably worth a think before spending 10's of thousands of dollars where they might be cutting corners

      Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.

      DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
