    R34 Coil Replacement Guide

    in Naturally Aspirated Performance

    Posted

    i got my splitfires put in recently, and the mechanic sed the same thing "its a pain in the arse with NA" and went on to explain the same thing scott just sed so i got charged a little extra - but ppl seem to think i shouldnt have :S - but im rather happy they showed me the coils after they removed everything, it seemed hilariously painful to do

    man, i have apparently the slowest combo out there - N/A R34 25GT FOUR DOOR AUTO - BUT, i still dont see why people think its slow... get an exhaust on, and get SPLITFIRES :), and it will go hella fast enuff believe me. the autos do come with tiptronic too... :| i do 0-100 between 7-8 seconds.. it might be good to look into an R34 NA with 4WD system, coz dat will help a lot with the takeoff hahaha

    OH MY GOD LOL

    I got the dudes at CRD to run a diagnostics check on my ECU, and they found that it was indeed an ignition problem. They said it was either the coil packs or something called the "crank angle sensor". I couldn't be happier, I can actually FEEL the difference with the splitfires, the whole car just seems so much more vigorous!!!! lol!

    ONE PROBLEM HOWEVER: they quoted me 495 + 95 labour for the splitfires, but they assumed that the RB25DE was in a similar configuration to the RB25DET, it turns out though that the N/A engine has TWO THROTTLE BODIES - WTFWTFWTF WHO KNEW THIS - compared to the Turbo which has only one, and this made the whole process twice as long, they took two hours to do it instead of 1, and had to charge me extra for the labour, and coz i got them to run the diagnostics check as well, it totalled to something around $730!!! - But I tell ya what, its SOO worth it.

    SplitFire Coil Packs SF-DIS-008 = $495

    2 Hours labour + diagnostics check and ECU reset = $235

    damn, not only R34 owners, but EVERYONE should buy a set of these.

    p.s. i felt so ridiculous rocking up there with a 4-door N/A skyline, when all the other cars you see there are r32/33 GTR's and 200sx s15's fark....

    ahh race_snooze u gave me an idea. u say afm... i have a pod filter installed with no heat shield or support (its just like... hanging there), i wonder if that could be it.

    ...unlikely...

    i reckon its the coil packs, it seems that if the coil pack/packs are bad there will be a loss of fire to one or more cylinders, which could cause drag on the engine and cause that "shudder" I sometimes get. apparently it can shut down some engines completely :S.

    T187 do me a favour and get your coil packs checked, then tell me if that's the problem lol i'm a bit strapped for cash atm,

    is it just me or do camry's and accord's not get these kinda problems?

    lol

    Timing Belts

    in Naturally Aspirated Performance

    I just read on autorepair.about.com that:

    Timing belts are used in two types of engines designated "interference" and "non-interference". If the timing belt breaks on a non-interference design, there is enough clearance between the pistons and valves to prevent damaging contact. An interference design does not have sufficient clearance between those parts and engine damage would result from a broken timing belt. This list notes whether engine damage would result if the belt should break. For vehicles not listed, I recommend replacement at 60,000-mile intervals. Breakage is not the only reason to replace your timing belt. Looseness and wear will allow the timing belt to slip and change valve timing resulting in very poor performance, a no-start condition, or engine damage.

    Does anyone know if the RB25DE is a "non-interference" or "interference" engine...

    Just recently I got my car serviced and every now n then when i'm idling at lights... the car suddenly shakes and feels like it drops. It's very slight but noticeable... don't know if i'm just being paranoid, but does anyone know why that happens? Is it coz of new oil?

    Another problem I sometimes get is when im doing say 30km/h and want to crawl a bit faster and SLIGHTLY press down on the accelerator and hold it, i get a fluttering sound like "pht ft pht ft..." then when i press down a bit more the normal engine sound kicks in and it goes just fine...

    i :yes: someone reassure me!

    Thanks
