to change 2 two coil pack, he wanted 200. i dont know if that is too dear or not, in my opinion it is. but i dont know, you know whats the rough prices on these ?

You should buy a set of splitfire coilpacks or yellow jackets. Then get a mech to install it.

If you are technically minded you can give it a go - it's not that hard - but just a pain in the butt - there are a few tutorials on this site and some from around the world.

The other coilpacks will die out soon. It's a known issue with R34 GT/GTt once they are roughly 100,000km to 120,000km (don't trust your odometer - they are usually wound back to the circa of 60,000km to 70,000km).

While you are at it you can clean your throttle body - spray some carby cleaner on a clean rag and wipe the sludge away.

I would also hazard a guess it would be time to change your spark plugs too - They cost $14 each from Nissan (3 years ago).

- Brand new set of 6 Splitfires for 2.5L NEO GT/GTt - Just under $700.00 AUD on eBay (probably cheaper else where)

- Genuine Nissan Platinum Spark plugs (NGK branded) - $14.00 each from local nissan dealership (going off a price 3 years ago) - best you call them up.

- Can of carby cleaner - $8.00 from repco

Prices of mechanics vary

    • 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.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
