After the service I picked up a missfire which I thought couldve been a vacuum leak as I had one previously. After checking all the pipes and finding nothing I started researching what else could cause the missfire and with lots of goooogling

and advice from fellow Patrol owners

I put it down to a faulty coil pack. When changing the plugs I had noticed that No.1 Cylinder coil pack looked different to the others, I found that it was the coil pack from the VQ35de (350z V6) and that the spark plug in that cylinder was also the incorrect spec

So I decided because the vehicle has high millage and I intend on overlanding that I will replace all coil packs at once. This obviously is an expensive exercise

so I done a little further digging and found that the TB48 shares the same coil pack as the VK45de found in some of the Infinity vehicles. I managed to find a full set of 8 new aftermarket units for about a quarter of the price of 6 new OEM from the USofA. I know they wont last as long as OEM but we can only tell how long by testing. At that price I can change them 4 times if need and I also have 2 spare. Lets see how they go
After changing them I set the timing at +10deg and then done an Idle Air relearn. It is now driving silky smooth with nice power
New coil alongside the old OEM
While changing the fuel pump I came across a very very dirty fuel pump cover. I recommend checking out yours if youve done some muddy offroading before.
With some degreaser and a hose pipe I gave it a good scrub.
And then lastly I sold off the OEM rims and picked up a set of Dynamic Steel
fake beadlocks. When I eventually get round to running 35 muds ill change them to a proper set. For now I think it looks really cool
