hey guys was taking the coil packs out to change over plugs and while undoing the bolt for the third coil pack (from the front) the bolt snapped. to me that was strange cause the others came undid easy but this was was a pain then i realised that the third coil pack had a wrong type of bolt in it. (not done by me i just got the car so im assuming previous owner did it or someone). but now i have a broken bolt and to make matters worse on that coil pack both the bolts are wrong. so i tried to undi the other one as carefully as i could and that f**ker snapped aswell.

no i have no idea what to do. can anyone help please?

so the bolt head snapped off leaving part of the bolt stuck in the threads?

you can try a thing called an "easy out", i think you can get them from bunnings. you drill a small hole into the remaining part of the bolt, then screw in the "easy out" and that will grab onto the broken bolt and might undo it.

gotta hate threaded bolts how about re-threading a hole thats been cross threaded?

Running a tap through the hole is the best way to know its nice and straight.... usually its pretty easy to do, most of the time the thread goes good and not a lot of metal is shaved off by the tap...

Seen guys try and force the proper sized bolt back in, but its a hit or miss adventure and you may end up cross threading it again!

      Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler

      Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
