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

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
