Urgent, Need Coilpack Clips

i was servicing my car yesterday, test drove it after i serviced it, and it drove like a dream... now this morning it drove like dog's balls couldnt rev past ~2300 as it was spluttering but like something major... it was missing and felt like the engine was seizing when i tried to go past that. now i broke the yellow clip on the coil harness that sits in each coil pack. i only broke one of them, so i tried to do a quick fix, but im guessing its come loose. so im guess im driving on 5 cylinders?

the other thing is, i usually put BRKE6's not 7's. so could it be the cold 7's make it drive like crap?

and another thing is i changed the fuel pump to a bosch 040 on saturday. i put it in myself, could it be it i put it to high? it started to splutter abit after i did this, but i thought it was because for the 1st time in a while it was getting the right amount of fuel as i was wondering why my copper plugs that were in it lasted for so long as i had 15000ks on them and they still seemed to work fine untill i put the pump in. so i thought they were getting more then they could handle. i placed the pump so the bottom of it is inline with the bottom of the float.

my coils are tapped, and the plugs are gapped to .8mm.

any help appreciated. also i dont want to spend 100$ on a whole new coil loom, would much rather just buy the broken yellow clips.

thanks in advance, issa.

I have a coil pack harness that's no longer needed from my R34GTT... if you can confirm that it fits, you can have it for $50 :blush:

im pretty sure the r34's run different coils/loom to the r33/r32's, can some one please confirm?

btw thanks alot for the offer mate, really appreciate it. ill let you know once someone can clarify it.

You could probably check with Nissan... I would check on the R32 we have but that has a RB25 in it.

im pretty sure the rb20/25 (non neo) have the same coil's so i would think the same loom as well. can someone please confirm this.

thanks.

ok, i just finished putting the coil loom in, AND ITS STILL DOING IT...

feels like its a spark plug problem, but it started happening after i put the fuel pump in. now my fuel pump (being a bosch 040) is really loud, and ive asked around and everyone has said thats normal. so i can hear it powering along and it doesnt really sound like its struggling. is it because i put brke7's or do i need to rewire the fuel pump?

mods i think we might have to move this one to the tech section.

cheers.

edit* does anyone know where the resistor is for the fuel pump, if its got one.

where in syd are you ?

Auburn.

i think i may have mounted the fuel pump to high, and its got less then a 1/4 tank, so im going to try and mount it lower. as when i orignally mounted it, it wouldn't let me bolt it in, so i had to make it higher, but im going to try get it as low as i possibly could.

does anyone know how high off the bottom of the tank i should mount it. or how much clearence there should be between the bottom of the tank and the fuel pump.

thanks.

I would place all my money on faulty fuel pump installation. the pump needs to be mounted to the BOTTOM of the fuel tank and ensure the pickup is near the bottom and is not obstructed or getting blocked in anyway.

to be honest this is why for intank installs I always just go with nismo or tomei pumps as it can be a hassle trying to mount non-bolt in pumps properly inside the tank.

yea, thats what im thinking now.

but im still stuck as to how much clearence there has to be between the bottom of the tank and the fuel pump. should i make it so theres only 1mm, or 5mm?

also abit random but i would like to know, are the 'jecs' pumps the standard fuel pumps in r32's?

UPDATE!

just finished playing around with it somemore. lowerd the pump as low as i could get it while not touching the bottom of the tank. that seemed to work wonders. went for a good drive around my area afterwards, was going all well, felt 'healthier', then it started sounding like a rex... at that stage i thought either just the coil's or i need a new rb...

i know i wouldn't be able to stop thinking about it tomorrow unless i fixed it tonight, so i checked the coils and sure enough, one wasnt connecting properly, so fixed that one up, and then fixed another one up while i was there. had to cut and connect the wire together to save just braking them brown clips...

just got back from another drive, and it doesnt feel as 'healthy' as before, but at least now it doesnt sound like a boxer engine. could i have mounted the pump to low now? ive filled it up petrol so its got half a tank which should be plenty, as it didnt have as much before, i still want to be able to use the bottom 1/4 of my tank.

also who else is running copper plugs rated at cold 7's with 0.8 bar boost? im thinking of going back to 6's...

thanks for the help guys, appreciate it.

PROBLEM solved... well 90% sure it is...

just got back from 'testing' it, and all seemed good except for a lil vac leak somewhere or i think its the bov not closing properly(90% sure its that) it feels like its that anyway..... funny thing is its an apexi item might need some gun oil :ninja: .

just one last thing, the more you drive, does the pump get more voltage/amp's? as it seems to get louder after a hard drive then when i first start it. from what i know because its still standard wiring, this should be the case, can someone please clarify.

thanks, issa.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Im not entirely sure exactly what or where its leaking from, he started to pull the boots to swap to my new tie rods + ends and it just vomited fluid, so he closed em up up, swapped the rod ends to the old rods and let me know so I can figure a solution out, im guessing its all origional as as I passed 103k miles earlier this year im sure its just in need of a full overhual/rebuild anyways.    If i could just yank it off and be good it wouldn't be an issue to ship it out and wait for the turnaround but the guy I work with doesnt really have space to keep my car for a week or two at a time, would rather drop it off and have a replacement ready to drop in

      R33 general questions

      What do you mean by "seals"? Internal hydraulic seals (ie, is it leaking PS fluid?) or the rack boots that close the rack onto the tie-rods? Because the former is a rebuild, and the latter is trivial that you or any nearby mechanic could do. Dunno about the cowl. Just buy what you think is required and get anything else you find/break afterwards. Wing? Dunno. Don't like R33s enough to pay attention to them. Mirror glass is just glass (on the surface that you want to polish). Go for it.

      R33 general questions

      By Kaptain · Posted

      Hello! Long time lurker, been using the forums to address concerns and questions from afar for a while but I've struggled to find some answers so I guess its about time I made an account and formally asked some more knowledgeable people, since finding local skyline owners is hard (and shops that are knowledgeable or trustworthy to work on 'rare' cars are non existent out where im at, as skylines are quite uncommon to find in the wild around here). So the main 3 questions I have, 1: Steering rack has blown seals, well.. they kind of hold but they are not sealed properly anymore and as my R33 is my DD, i cant exactly rip the rack out and send it off or attempt to fix myself. As most refurb ones are around $1,100 or more shipped, and I have other things I need to work on around the car, I was seeking clarification on whether an S15 rack will more or less bolt right in, and whether a common mechanic could do any other required work to get it to fit. I ask, as I've found a supplier than can sell a manufactured as oem one for around 400, if not I'll likely order a used one from Jacks JDM, and take a risk on the seals there. The second question i have is that im replacing the front wiper cowl and have planned to buy 4 new clips and a new center clip but wasnt sure if there were any other clips that would also need to get replaced while I was at it. Given im sure any that are there now will simply break when I remove the old cowl... Last thing would be a fairly straight forward question, i think. If I manage (strong if, finding one has proven to be a pain) to find a R33 GTR spoiler/wing will it require much modification to bolt to a S2 R33 GTST? I've read the bolt patterns dont match but otherwise would bolt in, only options I have found with much luck is China stuff on ebay and carbonetics, which has a nice $650 shipping fee... so if anyone has any pointers where a US chap could locate one that would be great Random side question as well, the mirrors as I understand are mirror glass, and as im planning to polish my windows from water spots and surface scratches, i was hopeful cerium oxide would be fine for them too, as my research points to, but clarification is always nice. Any pointers would be appreciated, and while I have scoured the internet for answers if I missed a prior post somewhere that may answer these directly please point me towards it, as i must have simply missed it. I have seen a post here or there that has mentioned it, but I usually get 50-50 answers, or half answers... I dont have a lot of fab experience or mechanic experience, outside of hydraulic and pneumatic stuff I did in the military and with how hard it is to source stuff in the US, id rather not wing it and hemmoraghe money lol. Thanks guys! Sorry for the monumental first post haha

      Did tie rods. Steering now not "springing" back.

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Yep, there's a very minor drift left that happens a few seconds after letting go of the steering wheel, but not enough to bother me. Enjoying the car still!
