I'm wary of spending money on coilpacks as usually you end up replacing perfectly functional items, only to find further down the track that it was the loom, CAS or similar that was the real problem.

Yeah, fair call.

If it is coilpacks...WTF is up with their quality in late model skylines? I have 20 year old ones in my HR31 which are still in A1 condition, but seems R32/33/Stag items crap out inside a decade.

I dunno, I'm new to the whole RB engine thing. I didn't know anything about coil packs before the Stagea. Last time I worked on an engine, it had one coil, leads and plugs that didn't require dismantling half the car to get to. :(

Why do coilpacks break down? Dunno but but over here agressive steam cleaning by MAF at the border probably doesn't help. Also stuffed plugs putting extra demands on them. If you do a search on this site there are 1001 opinions and horror stories. There seems to be no reliable way to test them. The multimeter doesn't always pick up the problem. A visual inspection for cracks, tracking or burn marks is worthwhile followed by a good clean and various forms of insulation have been suggested. Taking the cover off at night or in a dark garage and looking for arcing seems a good idea. You could try these cheap fixes before moving on to new coilpacks or looking at the other possible causes of missing

heat is the natural enemy of the coil pack as far as i know. RBxxDET = lots of heat nestled in betweem both cams with a nice cover to seal the heat in.

time does the rest.

Time does the rest? why are R33 ones etc failing in 10 years or so, when my HR31 items, being nestled in a hot little RB20DET for 2 decades are powering on though? Is it more an RB25 problem?

Later model (R33 S1.5 and Stagea S1 onwards) have the ignitor built into the coil pack, rather than a stand alone ignitor. Not sure if that's the issue, but it is a difference from the earlier models. That said I have been working on R32/33/34's since 1999 and I haven't found one failed coil pack, maybe I'm just lucky.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
