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.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
