RB20det misfiring during accel, smooths out during decel

Hi all. I was driving normally and then parked to go in a store. Come outside after 20 mins and turn it on and it’s idling rough. Go to start driving and it sounds like a motorcycle almost. Missing bad under acceleration but under deceleration it smooths out again like normal. I just replaced the MAF but still have stock coil packs. I was wondering if that could be it. I don’t believe it could be like piston rings or anything because it smoothed out during decel and my oil pressure seemed fine. In fact it seemed there was no power loss either, just the really rough running. I thought it could be cause of spark jump? I ordered a set of R8 coil packs and the wiring harness from wiring specialists so I hope this fixes it but wanted to see if anyone had this happen to them or could know anything else that could be wrong. Thanks guys. (I’m attaching a video of my idle and accel and a picture of a stock coil pack)

Coil pack looks like its been shorting. First step put in some new plugs gapped down to 0.8mm. Thoroughly clean the coils and wrap with insulating tape.  This may fix it but new coils still a good idea.

Yeah I’m actually not too sure myself how it was running with original coils. 2 of the connectors were also broken, and one of the pins in one of the connectors was moving back and forth. I’m happy to be getting new wiring and better coils

      George's R33 GTST build

      small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛

      Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments

      Ah yes but were you responsible? In the time I've had it (just before Christmas) I spun off the track twice and drove into things twice, so four separate incidents.. in two outings. Luckily I have a full OEM GTR front end to put on which is hopefully not a precursor for further, future, more expensive mistakes to come. It is some consolation that anyone who would want to buy my Altia bar would have to paint it anyway, the guards, too. (if they can get over the asymmetry). Hopefully over the weekend I will disassemble and see how badly things are bent. From what it looks like, the headlight has actually just been pushed back and bent the headlight support (which .. somehow... crushed the guard in). I guess the headlight plastic is strong stuff.
