they dont actually hold the spark plugs in place but the coilpacks slip over the top of them, and theres a spring inside of the coilpack that touches the top of the spark plug. oh and if ya cant be bothered changing the coilpacks your self paul does a good price splitfires including installation :P

im not quite sure if autoworx will change the sparks as that is a owner maintenance thing, but ask him anyway :D

He said they are covered by warranty but I think I might get these aftermarket ones anyway. He said he can do splitfires for $650 (not sure if that includes install) and about 2 weeks to get from japan.. told him I can get em here for $565 and linked the page :P

It's a shame I only have $398 in the bank untill next thursday lol

Hi Guys

First post w00t

Purchased my R33 through AW as well about a month ago. Got the same problem and Paul told me it will most likely be the coilpacks.

They are getting me some splitfires in and Paul said it is covered by warranty. I'm also getting my spark plugs done at the same time.

hey skyryan.. just an opinion.. when i first got my r33 last year.. it was misfiring and sorta acted like a fuel cut.. there's 1 possibility.. the air filter needs to be cleaned or replaced.. mine was totally clogged up and i just took it out and blew it clean and it stopped the problem.. just a suggestion.. won't cost u any money to just take out the filter and give it a clean and see if it helps...

Hope this info helps,

Cheers,

Bernard

I just got the car from Autoworx about 2 months ago, ya reckon coilpacks come under warranty?

If the car is under warranty it is defiantly covered. We can also claim on the extended 3 year warranty if you got that with the car which will pretty much equal the cost of the warranty right there.

We usually have sets of splitfire coils in stock but were just out at the moment as they are so good , new batch is on its way right now.

You can supply your own of coarse and we can swap them over.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)

      Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.

      Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
