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

    • Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
    • Since winter isn't that harsh anymore in Poland, i will definetely drive it 365 days a year 😉. But if the snow hits i will try it for sure and let U know. Only swap i am planning to do is of course R34 GTR front 😍.
    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
