Well at the moment, im broke. method of payment can be in beer form (case) or something if u could help me out would be awesome.

basically as described in so many threads, the car starts to after fire under boost/ heavy acceleration. I've been told fouled spark plugs is 99% chance of what it is..and well...i agree.

i've seen http://users.bigpond.net.au/r33skyline/r33/sparks.htm

but im not confident enough to pull apart my engine/engine bay YET. Im happy to do the labour if someone can just point and say do this, do that. so yer, im avail this wednesday (1st) if anyone could help us would be awesome :)

Also think I/we may need to tape up the ¿coilpacks? ...gotta love engine n00bs :laugh:

Im springwood/lower blue mountains -> willing to come to you (please dont be toooo far)

Car is R34 GTT

Im always happy to help, If you dont get a closer offer, Im at castle hill, PM me and I will send you my address. No issues with Wed arvo anytime after 5pm.

I have done my GTR a couple of times, but never done a GTT before, but once the top cover is off it should be the same. I have the tools and am happy to help.

I assume you have the new plugs and know what gap you want?

boost low=7 high = 9.

coil packs = stock (unless someone has changed them)

i think ill take up your offer OZ :yucky: (and borrow ur engine)

i've been told .8 is what i want. ill get some new NGK plugs wed morning :kiss: (pm being sent shortly :sick:)

If you go to Auto One in Springwood they have R34s listed in their catalogues. don't forget to tell them it is a turbo.

When you get the plugs give me a call. I am happy to give you a hand. I'm at Bullaburra, just up the road.

hmm be careful you can't really clean platinum plug you will just wreck the coating on the electrode.....better off to put new plugs in, copper are nice and cheap just change them every time you change the oil

yer, unfortunatly none avail @ 9-10pm, but we used a rough scrubbing brush (not metal) so it should have left the coating on :)

thanks to everyone who has helped and offered help, their time and advice :)....im sure it wont be the last time.

Glad to hear the car is going OK. I have to agree with Drunkan about changing plugs, however I would stick with platinums simply 'cos of the rooting around factor involved in changing them.

I will give you a call anyway, I'm going to the Royal on Saturday night for a few - I'll see if Fatz and Majanal will be along as well. A mate is playing in the band "Enormous Hornbags". Should be a bit of Blues Brothers type music.

    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go.
