I gonna get the JJR coils in mine when I get time..!

They did specify 10% more spark voltage, so it has to be worth a try, even if they live for 2-3 years.

I cant see any lightning show either, but we are sure its the coils breaking down. they do arc inside as well, so you may not see any external indications of problems.

I was running 22psi, but even on 14, it spits and f@rts now.

What ever happens inside them, it just gets worse as time goes on.

ok so i guess my main worry here is, it does miss a bit, but really it isnt a consistent miss, it happens here and there but mainly pretty smooth, gutless but smooth. under load it breaks down a bit, but for the power loss there i would expect more missing. basically what im saying is the power loss doesnt feel like its coming from the miss (aka a ignition issue)

I finally think I fixed my problem :blink:

After redoing the entire ignition it was idling fine and ran better than ever up to 3k where it cut out. AFM was reading fine so the only thing left to swap over was the CAS. As soon as I put my mates CAS on it went up to limiter no problem. I opened mine up and there was a heap of fine red dust in there and the rear bearing was screwed, I cleaned the encoder and the optics and it seems to have fixed it.

The dodgy coilpacks, looser alternator belt, battery not holding it charge and fouled plugs didn't really help either. But she runs sweet as now :blink:

ahk well boostworx are going to check it out on tuesday. gave the car a rev today and f**k me u should have seen the black smoke coming out the back. we are thinking i might be something to do with the map now, not sure.

well i tested another cas today to no avail :)

tried the ignitor pack too but it seems the rb25 ones aren't compatible, so i still have to hunt one down.

Going to get a compression test done this week hopefully and see how it goes

just to let people know it ended up being a leak in the i/c hosing, which i kind of had my suspicions on, especially after i tightened up the clamps and it made a difference. the issue was the hosing was old and leaking so no matter how tight they were it was leaking. runs nicely now, still rough as guts idle (like its always had) but it doesnt stall anymore.

Grab some silicon and cover the base of the coil pack while trying to push some in between the bracket and the coil pack its self.

I found the best way to find which coil was arcing out was to remove the centre coil cover wait for night; take the car for a drive get it warm, park, leave the car running and then watch the lightening show. :w00t:

If you can't see anything give it quick blips of the throttle and watch down the sides of the coils.

All 6 of mine were arcing out. ;)

silicon is conductive mate. yea i didnt think so either but it is

    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
