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

    • 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.
