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

thanks in advance :)

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.

    • Wow guys thank you very much for the HUGE info :-) @GTSBoy I have like 30 minutes if test drive with that car/engine and it not stalled once. IMO it ran very smooth so i guess it was not that bad(but asi i said it is stock) That atmo BoV is worse than no BoV or in my case or it is/will be the same? Cuz frankly i rather have little whooosh sound than that sututu 😄 But either way the less harmfull for engine/turbo the better(if the stock is not an option right away) Yeah about that rebuild i talk with guy who will be doing swap and custom pipes...i think i can get stock BoV or get aftermarket which will function the same. Yeah i looked at that R35 option and i try ask my mechanic more about that if he knows. The engine has stock ECU but i can get Nistune for it. On that stock it runs quite well...but i have limited time with it so rly dont know. Ecumaster is this https://www.ecumaster.com/  It is not some dodgy backyard ECU :-)  @MBS206 Yeah but it will be better to have Nistune than the completely stock ECU no? About that "same" atmo/no BoV. The drivebility would be the same? I dont know but i kinda guess that amto BoV would cause more problems than no BoV in my case? Or is the same? You just "change" one sound for the other? Yeah i read many many many topic about hurting the turbo. But no one know anybody that would 100% tell that his turbo/engine blows/get damaged by not running BoV. Of course turbo would be little happier IMO if it has BoV ..but if you do not trash i think i should be good. And as you can see iam already trying to get this right...just working what i have right now :-) Yeah iam kinda the same...i dont want nothing loud and frankly iam not liking that sututu noise that much 😄 i rather have little bit of "whooosh" or no sound at all. Of course in my case it si a completely another world when you came tu Turbo car with open air box and no BoV and you driving the N/A ...all i hear is engine. Here? I heard turbo/sucking and that sututu 😄 @Yeetus So in my case it is really no difference to run no BoV or some atmo BoV like GReddy FV2? The car would drive the same and has "the same" little problems? As i wrote above i kinda thinked that atmo BoV with stock MAF would cause more problems...but then again i dont know much about no BoV either :-)  So to avoid stalling i "cant" just put neutral on stop lights like from higher rpm? Or? Yeah iam already looking for ECU :-)  Yes iam at the same side with thar R35 MAF :-)  @Dose Pipe Sutututu Thank you i (my mechanic/tuner) will look into that) Guess iam taking the Nistune at least :-) 
    • Here's the workaround with Nistune I was talking about, just add in more timing on the decel table And play around with the fuel cut & recovery, it's enough to stop it from stalling on a decel  
    • Hi Apex and welcome! 
    • Probably too late to reply to this, but worth a try. It's not calliper flex, the calliper as a whole is moving so it has to be calliper mounting bracket flex.  Calliper mounting brackets are designed to stop the calliper rotating, they don't need to be designed heavy duty to stop the calliper moving in and out.  Whatever it is is not the major cause of poor pedal feel, the outer pistons are moving towards the disc rotor the same amount as the inner pistons are moving away from the disc rotor.  Hence no change in fluid usage, what extra fluid is needed to move the outer pistons is recovered from the inner pistons. For a calliper to move as a whole by far the most common reason is the rotor is not perfectly centred in the calliper.  The first thing I check is that hub face is perfectly clean, bare metal, where the rotor hats contacts it.  Then I check the that rotor is firmly held in place by at least 3 wheel nuts (or equivalent). If all of the above are confirmed to be in perfect alignment then I would check the piston sizes and ensure that the 3 inner pistons and 3 outer pistons have matching diameters (eg; 28/32/36mm).  I have seen a no name 4 spot calliper that had 1 of the 4 pistons a different diameter. Maybe I missed it, are both the callipers exhibiting the same problem? I would remove the transfer pipe and inspect it to make sure that there are no restrictions. Maybe you already have but if not I would return them with the video and have them confirm all of the above.   Hope that helps Cheers Gary    
    • If you have the original log book and it didn't have a chassis number quoted, then no money required.  I have "rechassied" a number of race cars, no problem as long as you have the original log book.   Cheers Gary
