Coil Pack Issues

Hey guys,

To start, I have an R34 GT-t,

I've noticed that after a long weekend of cruising and such that suddenly the car seems to shudder slightly when driving, this occurs from the moment i start driving so it irrelevant to whether the car is warm or cold.

After some reading/research i've come to the conclusion that it is the coilpacks, the car has done around 83,000 kms and as far as i know the coil packs have not been changed thus far.

And i believe that generally speaking, the stock coil packs usually give out around 60-70,000kms, further strengthening my belief that they are the problem.

Now i have 2 questions regarding this:

1. Is it safe to still drive the car for a week or so until i get together the money for some new coil packs.

2. Are they difficult to install, ie: can i do it myself, or is it best to leave it to a pro?

any feedback would be appreciated,

Thanks

Steve

It will be fine to drive the car.. as far as u are aware they havent shutdown yet.. just dont put the car under excessive stress..

Installing them is a little bit time consuming,have to have to take off / take appart a few things, best bet is to find a "how to" guide on doing the spark plugs. will tell u exactly what to do.

May as well change the plugs while u are there too.

Platinum plugs are spose to be good for around 100,000kms i am lead to believe,

best bet is to have a look at them when u are doing the work and if u think they need replacing then go ahead and do it.

I only have copper plugs in my car but im going to be changing them every 10-20,000 kms.

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
