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

    • Remove it. Certainly from the hub face. I'm not in love with leaving it on the wheel assembly surface either - but if it is common to do so, then....maybe fair enough. It's not difficult. Just time consuming. For the hub face you just need a large enough block and suitable grades of abrasive paper to get it off flat. The same would be true of the assembly face. Just more time consuming, probably needing a lot more care. It's defo going to be easier just to assemble the wheels as is, seal them up, and check them periodically to see if there's any movement or loosening of the fasteners, than it will be to remove it though.
    • Hello, I got my wheels powder coated and they've powder coated bloody everything the mating surface and hub (even told them not to lol) anyway should I leave it or remove it. (Would be very hard) I've searched a lot and lots of powder coaters don't mask the mating surface but do mask the hub surface. How bad it powder coat on the mating surface or hub? My question is what should I do?
    • Yeah, R34 with RB25DE likely has a 4AX01 box in it, which is a medium duty auto ~ with the RB25DET mill, it would've been fitted with 4AX00 (4AX13) heavy duty build (same case, different internals). An RB25DET will lunch on a medium duty 4R01 auto in pretty short order ...to give you some visual idea of differences between the 'medium' and 'heavy duty' boxes, you only have to look at the 2/4 band for comparison...it's chalk and cheese...(plus bigger high clutch, extra pinion in the planetary sets, higher oil pump output, different bearings, higher TC stall speed )... You can control them with just about any aftermarket TCU for electric-over 4-speed with TC lockup clutch (ie; the GM 4L60E and others)...I have a custom standalone TCU that includes MAP sensor (for turbo applications) along with TPS, RPM, and line pressure monitoring...in other words, I don't use any ECU signals...no real need to.
    • If you want to do the wiring, the GTT engine ecu has the same pinouts extra that the seperate TCM in the NA car has. You can literally grab the wires/pins that lead into the Seperate TCM and wire them into the corresponding pins in the GTT Engine ECU. You could then in theory Nistune it. I realised this when everyone put it in the too hard basket and I actually looked at the f**kin R34 manual. This is after I had previously had a seperate aftermarket TCM controller in my original N/A chassis car and a very built gearbox from a GTT, running a seperate Haltech engine ECU. I ran into this issue when I re-shelled the car into a GTT shell, so my aftermarket TCM was no longer plug and play, because the loom/modules were not present. I was pretty livid when realizing just how simple the original fix actually was. It sat for 3+ years at various workshops trying to find a solution. In practice none of this is a worthwhile idea for a lot of reasons, generally surrounding the shitness of the NA auto, the autos in general that come with skylines, and the NA engine and lack of gains. The gearbox is specced for the 2.5L N/A and barely at that level. If you have to pay anyone any money to do any of this, that is money spent on manualizing the car and it's not even close in terms of a comparison. Learning to drive manual is simpler than going through the pain of dealing with the N/A gearbox and he'll have fun to boot.
