gareth it does seem to be an engine lowering job to enable head removal. I spoke to NISSAN today. let's hope it will not be necessary.B.O.L Dad.

Thanks Dblock, but when i changed the plugs the one from no. 6 wasnt oily, just a bit sooty. Am now thinking sticking inlet valve(s) on no. 6. Wondering about taking the rocker cover off and trying to get some carb cleaner or similar down the valve stems, then draining/refilling with some flushing oil to try and clean it all out. Any thoughts anyone?

Thanks Colin, I've checked that

Hi, joined z world around 3 weeks ago when i bought a 55 plate GT car from ebay - a little treat for a significant birthday. Only it has a problem - see "intake backfire" in Technical. The car was a cat c write off due to some bodywork damage and has no mods. Based near Skipton - gateway to the dales. Been browsing the forums on this site for a while now and found it very helpful, so thanks for all the useful info. Desperate to have my first real drive in it!

Thanks for your thoughts on it. I'll post more info as and when.

No the problem is still with 6 - thats why i thought the coils must be ok. Also I have done the pedal dance and it didnt show any codes.

Sorry about the mistakes - it took me ages to work out how to post something. Yes there is a pop back thru the intake, esp when the throttle is blipped. I've taken the top off the intake manifold and the tube down to no.6 is black.

I've swapped it and its now on no.4, am going to try and check the wiring to the plug today.

Hi, anyone got one of these for sale?

Hi, complete z and forum newbie here! Recently bought a 55 plate GT car with 59k and a backfire thru the intake manifold from cylinder no. 6. The engine runs without the misfire if the lead to no.6 is pulled. The coil pack appears to be ok, I have changed all the spark plugs and the fuel injector, checked the compression (which appeared higher than no. 4) and am now puzzled. Has anyone experienced anything like this on a zed or offer any thoughts? Apart from "why did you buy it?" Any help appreciated.
