Car Making Weird Noises

[dk.boi]

Hi,

Last night whilst i was driving my r34, heard a loud bang noise. Thought i had hit a pot hole, but it wasnt. Afterward when i put my foot on the accelerator the revs didn't do up evenly. this noise come and go. this noise only happen when i floor it abit. Any helps guys? Much appreciated. Just got my car back from an accident not too long ago. Another misery in my life.

thank you

sounds like you should take it to a mechanic. it could be one of many things.

First thing I would check is the sump may have been something that may have cracked it. Does the noise sound like a loud tapping from the engine?

yeah, found out that it was the coil packs. but i was reading on this other forum, that after they fixed it still had problems. lets hope my one is not the case too :S

if one coilpack has died not be suprsied if the others follow suit....

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).

^^^^ best idea is to do all of the above at the same time

- 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

i would fit all of those items myself...its really not hard at all would save you loads of $$$ on labor costs.

Stock coilpacks are better then aftermarket ones. Unless you are ridiculously boosting your engine. Even then.

And they are dead simple to put in.
