Ok so i was so excited last night cos i got my new coil packs and went home to change them over, along with a new set of spark plugs...

After eventually changing each one over, making sure everything was connected properly again i went to start the car up and she

sounded like a WRX :D So anyways i thought i might just take her around the block to see how she drove, and i reversed out of

the driveway, got to the end, and the car died. I went to start her up again but she wouldn't. It was trying to turn over but just

wouldn't. Anyways im going to have a look inside her tonight but i just thought i might fish for peoples ideas first, so any help is

very appreciated....

yes they're definatley the right coils. as far as i could see, everything was connected how it should be and nothing left

over undone, however it was getting late and i didnt really have time to pull everything apart again, but will look more

tonight. Pretty sure everything is done up fine though.

oh and plugs were ngk platinum

How did the coil pack wiring loom feel? Brittle? You may want to grab a multi meter and do a continuity check from one end to the other and make sure all the clips/plugs are contacting properly. Also, did you check the plug gaps before putting them in? I have had issues with NGK's having some pretty big variations in gaps out of the box before.

The loom felt pretty good actually, to be honest everything in the engine bay seemed in pretty good nick considering its done over 100,000....

I gapped all the plugs to .8 before putting them in....

I think the platinum plugs have quite fragile tips. If you've gapped them down maybe one (or more) tips have been damaged.?? Just guessing though.

i was pretty gentle with them....they looked alright afterwards but ill pull them out 2nite and check anyways

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy Ok so that was the shops problem...they showed R33 rotors on R34 page and i did not know 296 do not fit(and are for R33) Yes i bought "kit" with rotors and pads. Pads are ok(i have GTT calipers front and rear). They have some 324mm but no 310mm. So i dont know if they would fit. I have 17inch LMGT4s So another question. Can i fit those in the rear or they are just "too" big for that?

      Starting again

      I started removing the tank a while back with the intent to give it a proper clean. Got to a bolt that I couldn't undo completely due to a diff being in the way, so just said f**k it and siphoned the gluggy old fuel out and called it a day. Looking it the tank it looks less corroded than the one in the pics for that billet hanger from Frenchy's anyway. Isn't it the fuel filters job to worry about this stuff? I scraped off most the crusty shit of the hanger but will give it another go before reinstall coz maybe the fuel and return pipes are also full of gunk

      Pretty sure it is a common fault. I believe this is the only part you need, but don't quote me as I don't have a V36.  I also believe it is a bit of a pain to change and the device needs to be encoded to the car once it is replaced, so may need someone with the right tools.

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.
