Wtb: A Few Things For My New (and First) Skyline

Hey everyone,

I was hoping someone could help me find a coil pack cover for an RB25DET locally. I know there are few available in the for sale section/ebay, but I was hoping to get one on my car ASAP, specifically before it rains again. My story is that I bought the car 2 weeks ago and everything has been fine, but it started misfiring quite badly earlier this week. I worked out that the problem was water had pooled up quite a lot in two of the park plug valleys, seemingly enough to create a short circuit, in turn causing the misfire along with corroding the plugs. The water came from the heavy rain the car was out in all last weekend I assume, with the problem being contributed too by the state of my current coil cover: Its was cut in two pieces (I guess so you can get it of easier), the rubber seals have had it and it was missing a few bolts for good measure. Anyways, if anyone know where I can get an OEM one soon, that'd be great, or even one of the unnecessary glamour aftermarket ones if the price is reasonable.

Also, I was looking to get an R34 SMIC for my R33. I was hoping someone who has put a FMIC into their R34 GTT has one sitting around I could pick up cheap, if so, let me know. Also, before anyone lines up a post saying "just get a FMIC" or mentions something along the lines of "volumetric cross flow rate vs intake temperature" or alludes to the susseptability of a SMIC to "heatsink", just go easy :blush: . Furthermore, do you think this is the kind of mod that I should be looking to do myself, or is there someone who I could take it to in Fyswick (where I work) who would do it during the day whilst I'm at work so I don't have to make any travel arrangements?

lol yeah, I've got the impression that the vast, vast majority of R33's have a coil cover in much better nick than the one I've got. Also, I've seen you the ads for your car, The interior/exterior looks in super condition, I'd be too scared to touch it.

why get a34 smic? the volumetric cross flow rate vs intake temperature is nowhere near a fmic and the smic will act as a heatsink. you should just get a fmic.

lolz i contribute nothing.

Don't think you will find anyone with a 34 SMIC lying around as it is typically so easy to sell them as an upgrade. Hopefully I'm proven wrong.

lol I still have mine sitting in the workshop at home... make an offer.

      Just to be clear, there were no lights or codes when the hiccups were occurring. Also nothing noticeable in the cars' braking. It brakes fine and the dash is clear. I only made the connection when it did throw a code and suddenly, despite the lights, it felt great again.

      Yeah they are sliders and this was in my head before I worked out it was the speed sensor.

      Ok so we have a smoking gun.  A few weeks ago I had to replace a speed sensor that I'd fit incorrectly. I replaced the sensor and everything was fine with no lights or codes thrown any longer.  When I was doing some more bedding in yesterday I got ABS and traction control lights again and, considering when this happens those things are disabled, the pedal went back to normal with smooth braking and no hiccups.  The codes thrown are for the same speed sensor that I replaced. When I looked at the sensor I took out it looks like the tip of the sensor is damaged. So whatever happened to it, perhaps it has damaged the magnetic ring on the bearing (that I only replaced the other week). I'll get my boroscope in the hole where the sensor goes and see if there is any damage in there. Hopefully just the tip of the sensor is in there and the bearing is fine. 🤞🏻  It's worth noting also that the pedal hiccup happens more often and for longer periods now and totally goes away when the codes are thrown again which happens usually after 5 or so minutes of driving. Love all your help here as usual guys, thanks!

      Could you put a real seat and harness in instead of what looks like leaving your passenger balancing on a milk crate
