Still haven't gotten the misfire figured out. It's still not bad enough to throw a code so I don't know what I'm working with yet. It hasn't changed at all in the last few weeks. Rough idle/misfiring on cold starts only at idle. Clears up once it's hot. The fuel injector cleaner doesn't seem to be doing anything now. Hopefully it will throw a code soon and hopefully it will only be a coil.
Unrelated, but I think I would benefit from getting at least an axleback exhaust at some point just for the sound. The engine is so smooth and quiet on this car that I've often found myself going 10mph faster than I mean too just because I can't tell what RPM it's at by the sound/vibrations. I'm eventually going to get a ticket if I keep it up. At least, that is my excuse for wanting to get an exhaust. :twisted:
Also unrelated, but I learned an interesting fact about this car. So far, no one has broken one of these motors from too much horse powers yet. I think the highest powered n54 is setting around 750whp and so far the (completely stock internals) motor hasn't let go yet. It will be interesting to see how far these things can be pushed before things start breaking. They may have a little more in common with the mkiv supras than I originally thought.
