Hey

asking on behalf of a mate with an R32 GTS-T

Recently on occasion his car has been running poorly and sounding like a boxer. It's intermittent and happens while driving, sometimes from cold/cool, sometimes after driving for a while and then will sometimes just go away.

Any ideas of what to check? He has recently replaced coil packs but it is not really an ignition breakdown issue from the way it's behaving, perhaps a loose wire (but which?)

Cheers for any help,

Clinton

100% one of the coil packs or a spark plug. A RB sounds like a WRX when it drops a cylinder and runs on 4 or 5.

Easy way to check, when the car is idling, unplug the coilpack on cylinder one. If the note of the exhaust changes it's not that one. Plug it back in and go to the next. Keep doing this for all six until one of them doesn't change the cars sound. Thats your dropped cylinder.

Doesnt the 1st post say he just recently replaced the coil packs??

Hope you replaced em with Splitfires....

Just thoroughly go over all the ignition wiring & see if you can find anything. Does sound like a general coil pack issue.

They were replaced with a known good second hand set, so it could well be that the "new" ones are now failing also.

Will try those suggestions, thanks.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
