  1. The easiest way to determine if its a misfire is to while running, unplug each coilpack one at a time. If you hear a noticeable change in engine sound and running, thats good. If you unplug one and nothing happens, thats your suspect cylinder. I would advise plugs, and coilpacks in that order. As azurez33 says you can have a misfire without throwing an engine light, as I did. I replaced plugs and packs and it never ran better
  2. Don't worry, we think most customers are the same. Normally numpties (politely) when they turn up with there self diagnosed issues My favourite one is when people void warranties
  3. What a car, I'm super envious of this. Probably my all time favourite JDM classic. Don't suppose you want a MK2 nismo do you So whats the plans? Full restoration?
  4. You lot must visit some poor main dealers, can safely say mine is nothing like these horror stories you hear. And properly proud of that
  5. That part is true, many many dealerships including my own were told for a long time that we weren't allowed to wash, hoover or even prep the cars from service or sales. Trust me, it was as boring for us as it was for customers. Have you tried contacting customer services? A strongly worded letter or email goes right to the top, trust me
  6. Im still putting money on gallery gaskets being your issue. The shuddering is a well known result of low oil pressure not reaching the top of the engine.
  7. Its one of the LLF mpire and DMO wannabes so its no real loss. Im sure on a BHP to braincell count the GTR had better number then the entire crowd tbh
  8. Ok cool think im going to give them a go. Ill do interior lights first and see what they're like
  9. I was looking at these guys last night, seem like some really well thought out. Did you purchase from them?
  10. Maybe I'm being daft but I've found the website but it seems more like a blog? Can't find any specific bulbs for sale
  11. What's up everyone, Looking for recommendations and places to buy tried and tested LED bulbs for my Nismo. I recently fitted Cannibus LED rear numberplate units which I love However it wasn't all good news, I fitted led indicators which hyperflash unfortunately. So what I'm after are Interior map lights Indicators Reverse lights Can anyone help?
  12. I want this so badly, just wrong timing !
  13. Out of all my previous cars, this is the one that got away. Owned it before I even passed my driving test, and modified the life out of it. I practically rebuilt every nut and bolt. Started life as a little 1.4L, ended life with a B18 swap and full Type R interior. 6 years of work ended in probably 5 seconds of stupidity when I wrote it off racing a R33 skyline on a twisty B road
  14. Ahh, what I'd give for a brand new 300zx. Id argue one of the best 'z' cars as they really threw caution to the wind
  15. Funny I had the same thought. Can only assume the reasoning was as visibility isn't great as it is, it would only make it worse. But then again its already noticeable how little I'm being dazzled by cars behind, so its a win in my books
  16. So an update, and the mods are starting slowly but surely. Took a trip down to twilight tint in Chichester today to get my rear three windows tinted, this is my 3rd car they've done as their work is simply superb. Such courteous friendly people and very good at what they do. Speaks volumes that I've been going back and they remember me! No other pictures for now as the car is beyond filthy... but more to come
  17. Difficulty is Nissan say first coolant change should be done at 96 months, then every 48 there after. And no mention of changing the gearbox / Diff oil at all unless under severe conditions (UK is not severe by any stretch)
  18. Went into town yesterday and parked up, making sure to stay well away from anyone else and couldn't not take a photo when I looked back And Facebook memories strikes, probably at my 350's prime
  19. Have you noticed any difference with fresh gearbox oil? I'm not entirely sure on the service intervals for changing it but I think it could be due on my Nismo. I absolutely would not sell your MK1 wheels though, unless they are for something very, very cool. They're rare was hens teeth and such a good looking wheel. I instantly regretted selling my LMGT4's, I wish they did a same size option for the the Nismos
  20. Glad you've seen a car can be way more then just a tool! Where about are you located, I saw a black roadster with black wheels in Findon (Worthing) a few weeks back. I was in my nismo
  21. Down on the South Coast mate, Worthing. So Incarnation was a jolly trip up the road for me Well if you find yourself down my way let me know, I'm about most weekends would be good to catch up
  22. My man, how you doing? Me an Louis still chat about you an the ace day we had. Have to arrange another meet up now we both have Nismo's haha
  23. Have you had your oil gallery gaskets checked as well, just to be on the safe side? Probably the only other "known" issue that could cause you grief down the road Good to see they appear to be looking after you, let's hope it continues
