i have a multimeter already... what about the other invention? is is called something as a complete device or do i buy parts?

sorry im on a learning curve here.

cheers

erm, well theres a special tool which consists of those bits, god knows what they called it though. I'm not into paying excess if i can heath robinson something together. the resistor and you multimeter on continuity mode would do the trick in most cases too.

Is it just my PC or does it sound like that's not missing once the engine actually gathers pace?

You could also try checking the ECU for fault codes.

lo-fi web video doesnt help, but it does seem less pronounced, hence the compression test.

i got the plugs out today...

no.4 is slightly rusty on the top and blackened at the spark end
no.3 was wet from oil, blackened and not so tight as the others
no.2 was blackened
no.1 was blackened and was impossible to get off as it was on so tight

but this is probably due to sustained missing from trying to fix it? its no.3 i am concerned about. i split a load of oil on the rocker cover through filling up with oil the week before, then after that run it sat for a week which is when it buggered up after 3-5 mins of warming up... maybe the oil heated up and got in there?

also the spark plugs are set to .70mm. in this post alundra shows a picture of the 'stock' plugs gap to be 1mm: http://www.nissansilvia.co.uk/vbb/showthread.php?t=5027
