Hey guys really getting frustrated by this engine! I have changed over spark plugs few weeks ago now and car has slowly decreased itself over couple of weeks by spitting on high revs like a rapid spitting! When listening near spark plugs there is a random spark of single or multiple sparks. The car does not idle very well and runs like a piece of shit! Running stock boost and have recently put a new exhaust on. Any ideas would be greaty appreciated!

Have done the check and all looks good.. I forgott to mention that i took the car to get looked at and they said i had water stains in the engine bay and that it needed to be dried out by running the car.. So i picked car up and thrashed it for hour n half and all problems were gone and it was running smoothe! Then next morn all the problems started again! Why?

r33 are pretty sensitive, if i were you i'de reset the ecu, you know leave the negative of your battery disconnect for a day some people reckon less, have a look into things after that. at least things will go back to stock ecu wise

just took the car for a drive then and found that its more of a bang and backfire noise. and i opened up the hood and some coil packs are still sparking while engine is running!! thats not right!

So you have no valley cover over the coilpacks? And the coil packs are bolted down on the spark plugs? If yes to both and you can see sparks, then your coilpacks are probably stuffed, the back fire noise could have been all the unburnt fuel in the exhaust.

where are the sparks coming from on the coilpacks?Find some one with good coil packs and switch over to see if it fixes it.

I fairly certain that is what it is, cos you ain't meant to see the actual spark.

South Australia has a Wanted To Borrow section not sure if anyone has some spare tho.

Go to supercheap and buy a small tube of high temp gasket maker silicone for about $20, take all your coils packs out, and put a good even layer of silicone on all the sides of the coilpack (not in stupid places obviously)

I did this when mine were sparking out past 4000rpm and they have not been any trouble since

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

      Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
