Hey all,

my GTR has just started getting a bit jerky and trying to stall out whilst driving... is it the coil packs?

it's also poping really loud out the exhaust (which makes me think it's coil packs not firing properly leaving an extra rich mix in the chambers)...

that's the first thing i thought but i just thought, maybe it's a fuel pump (better not be).

how do i diagnose the problem? need to get the car back to perfect yesterday! (ie ASAP)

thanks heaps,

Dave.

Hey that happened to me on the test drive of my new 32 GT-R

To check if its the coil packs just take off the top part of the engine (screwed in with allen keys)

Then listen to the engine, and unplug and re-plug each connector to each coil pack. If the coils good it should change the idle noise as it will drop another cylinder. But if you undo one and the idle doesn't change, then thats the coil thats stuffed.

What you described sounds exactly what happened to mine and it was just a coil pack

Good luck!

      R32GTR R200 reverting from Nismo centre to stock

      It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.

      Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there

      Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.

      Oh man, at least it sounds they've accepted they stuffed up and not put it back on you...could see some confusion if they asked if it had a hardtop or not, and you've answered truthfully but maybe not answering their real question which is what roof did it have from the factory! Glad your keeping it N/A 2.5

      Nah, I much prefer colour matched Talking about colour matching stuff, the new/used boot lid turned up, all painted up perfectly......aaaannnndddd, it's for a power retractable hard top, not a soft top.....LOL They are now sending a boot to fit a soft top.....,  whilst frustrating, life is like that sometimes, sometimes you just need to dodge, duck, dip, dive and, ummm, dodge.
