I think one of my coil packs is dying so I would like someone with an R34 to come around or lend me one to test to be sure.

In an ideal world someone will drop everything, come around now, have no valley cover on their engine already so less to remove to get one off and we could find out for sure fairly quickly.

Given that it's not an ideal world, I could come around and get one off your car from somewhere and bring it back an hour or so later. I live in the Hills area btw and anything in between the two abovementioned scenarios would be fine.

I'm enjoying unemployment atm so I'm free whenever to do this.

should of got a v8 dont have these problems with real mans cars

Lol, I had to help a friend rebuild the heads on his LS1 a few months ago, did a simple valve change, and it all went down hill when a stupid bolt snapped, ended up landing us with 2 new heads, and 2 days to get the old heads off, new heads on, and set everything up properly...

on a Tuesday and Wednesday night, we had removedthe old heads, cleaned everything spotless, prepped the new heads, mounted, and fitted the heads, rods, rockers, etc.

We still had the issue of 1 missing bolt on the rocker cover, but nothing some bubble gum didn't fix until we got the bolt.

Needless to say, LS1 engines are much easier to work on that RB engines, when you consider they dont have a timing belt because they are old-school push-rod, made life bloody easy, spray lubricant on the rods and through them, stick them into the holes, put the rockers on,and crank the engine by hand to make sure everything moves freely.

Heads off, heads on, new push rods, new rockers, all in 2 nights, and done by a couple of computer nerds.

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
