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.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
