Watch the double unicorn series on MCMTV2. They did this swap a couple of years ago. You will learn a lot.

Best thing is pull coil plugs off while it is misfiring on the dyno. You won't find it at idle. If you can make it misfire a bit and then shut it off while it's doing it, you might be able to inspect the plugs and see some difference. Might, but very far from probably. What are your plug gaps now? What boost is is breaking down at? What is the condition of the coil harness?

Firstly, no-one still uses Nolathane anything. I'm not saying that they are outright inferior with respect to how much additional stiffness they will add around your subframe when freshly installed....but everyone else moved on to SuperPro and other options about 20 years ago. Secondly, if you have old f**ked out bushes and other bushes etc (the outer ends of the HICAS tie rods are a known death spot) in the rear end, trying to bandaid the subframe location won't do a lot. Solid (alloy) collars are more effective, if pretty harsh. You haven't mentioned wheel alignment settings, ride height, or even which chassis we're talking about. If it's an R32, a lot of flailing around can be expected. if an R34, we'd expect less (due to the improvements in the rear geometry between the two).

Welcome. You don't need all that fuel pump capacity for the power level that a Z32 can support. You will simply overheat the fuel as it goes round and round. Consider dropping at least one of the 044s out of use.

Jesus Christ! Stay away from Autobahn and whatever the hell a "regen" is....if that's what they think will "fix" it.

Throttle motor sensor is NOT anything to do with the TPS. It is to do with the traction control throttle's position sensor. You will get that code (in the ECU) if the TCS system is not working (is, if the TCS computer is not present, or the TCS throttle is broken in some way). We don't make TPS sensors work with Q45 throttles on NEOs, because, um, we don't change the TB. Why would we? The stocker is big enough for everything.

Good result. Another entry in the "it'll be coils before it'll be something else" file. Surprise finding on the launch control. Looking at the video (just now), it does sound & behave very much more like a deliberate misfire (ie launch control) than a shitty coil misfire. There's nothing better than having 2 things going on at the same time to confound your diagnosis.

Fronts fit (but look wrong). Rears won't fit without a fight.

All these questions have searchable answers on here already. Some as recent as last week.

Everyone here knows RHDJapan. They're good. You also want to look at Nengun, Amayama and even JustJap.

Need to specify "at the engine" or "at the wheels", otherwise these misunderstandings will happen.

Half of this is true, the other half is not completely true. Splitfires are decent. Anything cheap that is "similar" are not decent. Stay away from yellow coils, red coils, any other colour other than the proper Splitfire blue (there are bodgy blue copies out there too) and original OEM black. But not any cheap black. Only the proper original Nissan part. But don't do anything to the coils unless you start to get ignition breakdown. That might happen if you get the boost up to 10 psi. But just getting the boost up to 10 on an R33 stock ECU means you'll be using twice as much fuel and it will be as slow as crap (considering the fuel consumption) and so you won't want to drive it anyway.

Why is it overkill to go straight for Splitfire? They are the only option other than the original coils, for coils that are the same form factor. Yaris coils (or any other similar Toyota Denso coil) are good, but not a lot stronger than Splitfires. If you can get them for <$90 each, then they make a reasonable upgrade, but you still need to mount them and adapt the wiring. There are links in the trader section here for kits using Audi & R35 GTR coils that are even better options, but generally at quite a lot more $$ than Splitfires. 2nd hand coils are a lottery.

Just the fact that they are red means throw them as far away from the car as you can and don't go looking for them They are more shit than a pile of shit.

Is it clipped onto the under dash trim? If it were an R32, I would say it was the beeper.

Nope. The Supra coolers are junk*. You do not want them. *They're better junk than the little Nissan ones, but still junk. They are also quite poor from a thermal efficiency point of view. Short tubes.

Good quality timing light is half the battle.

I meant factory keyless entry.

They are most certainly polarity sensitive. Hence what I wrote in the first reply.

Um....didn't know the R33s had a driver's side actuator. R32s certainly don't. They're only useful if the car has keyless entry, which was not common in either of their vintages. If it's stuffed, you could still follow my advice & just fit a generic actuator.

What factory one? They don't have them!! The driver's door is the master. You turn the key and a mechanical linkage unlocks the door. The switchbox detects that and passes it to the passenger door controller & the one and only actuator in the car opens that door. Search and see. Here's a clue. https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/475597-clifford-alarm-install-on-r32/?tab=comments#comment-7893615

Obviously the cap has a seal, and if the seal isn't sealing...... Equally, the big hose on the res is on the hot side of the engine bay, so can get brittle with age and crack. Let's the red stuff out there too. FWIW, my R32 has never spilled any from the res. I replaced all the hoses about 5 years ago when I did an engine transplant though, so it's not like it should leak!

Ta.

No E85 mentioned.

Yes and no. Or, more correctly, no and yes. Guards have nothing to do with bonnet and grille fitting. GTR grille does only mount off of GTR headlights. I have GTR bonnet, grille, headlights & bumper on my car, with GTSt guards. The proper GTR bumper is slightly too wide/wrong shape to be squeezed onto GTSt guards, but it does fit. There are repro GTR bumpers made to suit GTSts without that extra little bit of width. It's possible that there are probably imitation/fake GTR grilles available somewhere that can mount onto a GTSt front end without having to have the right headlights, but I've never looked into it. I say this because of the existence of GTR style bumpers to go on GTSts....there would need to be a way to fit the grille without having to have the headlights too. Having said all that, in this day and age of 3D printers and Sikaflex, it should actually be possible to come up with something to stick onto GTSt headlights that would provide the GTR grille mounts.
