Been having problems with what I believe to be something to do with coilpacks. When I am in first and I plant my foot the car will quite often get to a point where it will just "stall" and the revs won't want to keep going. Like it gets stuck at a certain rev range and I gotta change gear. I have had problems with coilpacks before and its not misfiring really badly, but it does feel kind of similar. The car feels kind of jumpy and not to happy. A mate of mine pointed out that my unstable idle could be a sign of coils? I just cleaned out my AFM so it should be pretty clean. It also tends to happen mostly when the engine is hot after I have been driving it for a bit

I am just curious to see if there is anything else it could be?

Does it pop and misfire when you get to this point?

A good way to check the coilpacks is to take the cam valley cover off. Take it for a good spin at night, get it nice and hot and put it in a dark shed and keep it running. Give it a few good revs and see if you can see any blue sparking from the coilpacks to the head.

Try gapping the plugs down to .8 and then .6, if this fixes it then its a spark related problem and most likely your coils.

If the plugs are old though it could just be them.

It doesn't really pop or misfire so much, rather it just gets bogged down in a particular rev range and sounds like it is struggling. They are the original coils so there is a good chance thats the problem.

It shouldn't be my fuel pump as I have an aftermarket Walbro item which I don't think is that old. I figured it must be something to do with the coils, the gapping of plugs or perished sparkplugs or something like that. But I just wanna get a better idea of what Im looking at having to fix

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
