I had a misfire some time ago too. I had the plugs replace (gapped to 0.76) and it was still there. Turned out to be a dirty coil pack. The mechanic cleaned them up for me and it worked fine after that. I think he used electrical contact cleaner or carby cleaner - can't be sure.

I have seen on a website, that the resistance for them should be around .7ohms. I tested mine and they were all 1.0ohm. I was told by an electrical supplier that they either work or they dont. Theres no in between. Theres, measured at .67ohms, (new).

There's (ACA) were O.E. type coil packs which relates to a genuine Nissan coil pack.

I also saw a R32 GTR manual and quoted the resistance to be between .6-.9 ohms.

ACA branded would be well over the $200 mark. Anyone priced a genuine Nissan one BTW???

Iwas wondering is there anyway to check the coil pack with out taking them out.?

I have got the same problem with the missfire.And if it is a coil pack does anyone know where I can get a new one or second hand one for an R34 GTt.

I put new platium plugs in and the problem seems to have got worse.I will pull the plugs out and re check the gap.

$50 each second hand is the going rate for coils. Also, I think a gap of 0.5 or 0.6 is way too small for stock boost. Even 0.8 seems to be ok for up to around 14psi.

NIZR34GTT, the problem probably got worse with platinums because they have the weakest spark of all the plugs. It's probably just amplifying a problem with your coils.

Sorry late response. R34 coil packs new 250 from Nissan Dealer.

Second Hand 50 - 150. BTW R34 coil packs are same as R33 S2 coil packs.

Install them yourself if you can, I got ripped off charged 600 for coil pack and installation from Nissan Dealership. Never going there again. Sorry still a bit peeved.

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
