Hi guys.

Some of you will know that I have been having the engine light SLIP light and TCS OFF light coming on. it did it this morning on the freeway and I realised the engine was running badly. I pulled over and shut the car off. After about 2 minutes I started it and it came good again. it felt like it was only running on 5 cylinders or something. It was really shaky and sounded like it was struggling. I really need to get this sorted out ASAP. Im in Osborne park and really not looking forward to driving home tonight. do any of you know what the problem might be? And also where around here I can maybe take the car at lunch and have a diagnostic done? With my working hours I don’t know where I would be able to because every were is closed before I get to work and by the time I get home.

Regards,

maybe try go to nissan in ossy park just off scarb bch road?

not sure if they will charge u ne thing but maybe go in n tell them ur situation n maybe they can point u where to go?

I drove around to heaps of garages at lunch yesterday with no luck. I drove home and didnt have a problem last night thankfuly. I got the train today lol.

I didnt bother going to nissan because i already knew they would not be able to help me. With the last car when my keys got stolen they were not even able to help me with anything other that ordering the new keys. They also said they were not even able to get a workshop manual for that car (well one that was in english any way)

i am going to have to try to find somewhere that i can take it to tomorrow.

Can any one recomend a good workshop that should that the car to that will be open on a saturday?

Ah yeah they helped heaps thanks mate. Had it hooked up to the diagnostic today and the fault is an ignition error. Im guessing it would almost definitely be the coil packs like every one else. The diagnostic cost 90 bucks. My girlfriend took it in. Seems bloody steep for a 2 minute job? all they do is hook the laptop up to it and it tells them what the fault is.

Does any one know where i can go and buy my self some spitfires? or one of the other brands, i remember reading somewhere about a couple of other brands that are ment to be good (or am i best to just get the spitfires?).

im not really all that sure exactly how it all works but im guessing it is my coil packs that are gone. are spitfires a direct relpacement for these? or something totally different?

ok i have no patience so i have already gone onto just jap and paid for a set of JJR coil packs. i hope it was the correct choice and that it fixes the problem. I think i will make sure i get myself some good plugs and find out what the best gapping will be for them while im at it.

    • The fab work can be as simple as a couple of silicon hoses and clamps to the factory piping. 
    • Just sounds like either way you need to do some fab work to get everything to fit, so why limit yourself at that point? If the GCG high flow option is zero effort in and out swap though I'd probably do that. It's almost certainly lowest risk, lowest cost, etc. The HKS GTIII-RS option that Kapr mentioned is laughably expensive for what it is, they charge the exact same for two turbos on the RB26 so their margins are off the charts on that thing.
    • Intake manifold is not a part of the issue. The turbo bolts to the exhaust manifold. That is easy. But close your eyes and picture the physical situation. That is a T3 flange on the manifold and a T3 flange on the turbo. As long as any new turbo has a T3 flange on the exhaust housing, that exhaust housing will bolt to the exhaust manifold. This places the exhaust housing in the same place as the stock one. But now move your mental attention a little further forward. The location of the compressor housing is set by the length of the turbo's core. The stock turbo had a long core. Let's say that it is..... 100mm long. So that would place the compressor housing 100mm forward of the exhaust housing. But a highflow, might well have a centre core that is shorter. Let's say that it is only 70mm long. Now the compressor housing will be 30mm further back in the engine bay than the stock one. This DOES move the turbo's compressor outlet backwards. It also moves the compressor's inlet backwards. You will very likely have to do some work to both the inlet and outlet piping to make everything connect again. I am not say this to make it out to be a bigger deal than it is. I am just pointing out that "bolt on" is sometimes not quite bolt on. The highflow from GCG that Murray linked above (https://gcg.com.au/turbo-charger-upgrade-skyline-gtst-2iu-xtrgts-s1.html ) uses a core that is the same length as the stock core, and so does not require this extra work. It will look very much like the stock turbo. No-one uses GTR turbos of any flavour (stock, or aftermarket) in a single turbo application on RB20/25. It's not a thing. Yes, people have been putting on GT3076, GTX3076 (and bigger and smaller versions of those) and G30s (of various sizes) onto RB20/25 since forever. But these are not "bolt on". Everything except the 4 bolts to the exhaust manifold change with these. And genuine Garretts are expensive. Non-gen, like Pulsar, etc, are cheaper, variously as good or nearly as good. But still not bolt on. No-one in the right mind would pay for an HKS turbo. Not in this modern day and age. Well, yes, the GCG highflow. You could ask HG what he can do to make the compressor housing sit in the original location. There are surely others doing highflows around the world. And some of the eBay/Temu ones (as reported by Dose) work and don't die. Bit of a lottery though. I would send your turbo to GCG (here in Oz) to be highflowed if you want a trivial no-extra-work option. But seriously, the work required to change inlet and outlet piping is not that hard. That's a boost control problem, not a turbo problem.
    • Thank you all for the replys 🙂 I know that intake would be different but that is one pipe at it is not that hard to get(custom one). I meant mainly bolt to the stock manifold and the turbo elbow. I looked and many sites/forums but they are just "old" with some old HKS turbos from GT-R i guess? What about some Garrets?  Or any other turbo? Is there even a turbo which i can just bolt on? 😄 And yeah i know about that new HKS but that is like 2000k USD without taxes/shipping in here   Iam getting a touch up tune but my "problem" is that on the "not" hot day iam getting peaks around 0,9 bar...and when it was around 15 Celsious i saw peak around 1 bar which is just too much for stock turbo. And of course turbo is old and i like to get some new one for a piece of mind 🙂 
    • I'm working on the assumption that our friend Jasmine here is a Russian (or, possibly Ukrainian) spammer/spambot, based purely on the number of such that I have been having to neuter in the last few weeks. IP address for the OP above was in WA. But that could have been via VPN. Posting at quarter to 4 in the morning is a good sign of being from somewhere in Europe. The last Jasmine that I kicked in the cooch was IP addressed in Ukraine. Even that could have been via VPN, and the bitchbot could have been from Russia, Serbia, China or anywhere. Regardless, was a spambot, so I killed it with fire. The fact that our new friend Jasmine here did not respond in any way to my tart query strongly suggests to me that this OP was just the establishment phase of a user able to be activated for spamming in a week, or 3 or 10.
