hey guys,

So my problem started with a dead coil. Replaced with yellow jackets and its a bit better, but still not 100%

Any ideas? Is there anything additional i have to do to get them to work? Idles a bit.. chuggy. It shakes a bit like its misfiring but it dosnt feel like its that bad?

Also the engine light is no longer on, so thats a start..

Please help me, i just busted my balls taking that damn thing apart and im really frustrated.

Yeah im not sure my self. Im running stock ECU, Is that alright? Its an N/A also.

I might have to get the mechanic to have a look at it.. domokun.gif

a good auto sparky may be of service too.

Leads in a coil over spark system?

Check your plugs, probably wouldnt hurt to replace them, reset the ECU (Unplug battery and hold brake down for a bit then plug it back in... Should only do this with a stock ECU) Clean AFM, give everything a good check over etc

looks like he has an r34. so no ignitor. it's built in to the coilpacks isnt it?

i'd check the wiring harness that plugs into your coil packs. make sure it's all good... as well as check / replace your spark plugs etc.

+1 if the looms/wiring are hard and stiff, there's a likely problem. Should be supple and flexible - opposite to a Fap.

Checked the coils, tightened them up and checked loom.. It looks alright..

Dunno what it could be! :(

As a few ppl have said - change the plugs. Its simple and cheap, so its the most sensible next step. Post up photos of the plug tips so we can have a look.

Also make sure the crank angle sensor hasn't moved. If the timing is way out it will be rough.

The who what? How?

Plugs were changed about 3 weeks ago also btw.. they should be alright pirate.gif

He probably means the cam angle sensor - its the round thing with 3 bolts holding it on at the front, just to the right of the RB25 logo on the cam sprocket cover. You need a timing light to check it.

Have you located the misfiring cylinder? Have you moved the coilpack then spark plug to see if the missfire follows?

      You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before

      OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:

      R34 manual conversion speed signal wire finding, need help

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. Autos typically work from the speed sensor on the pinion shaft of the diff. I also think that even if you have a proper speed sensor for the bog manual in the manual box, that the signal it outputs is not compatible with the auto dash anyway. You should consult that manual (the book, not the gearbox).

      And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....
