hey guys, just a few questions about changing sparkies.

i can see that the manifold has to come off to change them, so will i need to changed the gasket you think or can i put the old one back on. im scared it will leak though.

and if the spark plugs are f**ked does that generally mean that my coil packs could be too?

thanks

dont know what manifold your thinking of taking off to change the spark plugs dude, but there is deffinately no gaskets that need to come off.. you need to take the plastic cover in the middle of ur engine (between the tappet covers) off, then unplug and take out the coil packs..

sorry but this is the first time ive worked on a skyline engine, ive got a 1993 gts-t r33 rb25, it seems to me that my air intake manifold covers like 4 of my spark plugs, and i cant seem to get at the any other way then to remove the manifold to get to them. im a bit of an amatuer still with engines and general information about skylines.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=42819 hope that helps you.. thats a thread on removing the coil packs, it will get you 95% of the way there..

once you remove the coil packs you will need a special tool to fit into head to unbolt the spark plugs.. i was lucky to keep my old honda civic tool as it fits into the holes perfectly and is the same size..

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
