Hey guys, so i was at drift prac yesterday and my car started to missfire.

It was fine for the first 2 laps, boosted hard and ran awesome. off the limiter fine. then my car died in the ass. felt like a boost leak, reved to 4-5k rpm and just spluttered burbled and died, wouldnt build more boost. went back into the pits - no boost leak at all.

So went back out and it was fine again for the first 2 laps / same story. so then i started thinking something to do with heat soak.

back to the pits, took coil packs and plugs out, the plugs had fair amount of calcium (i think) build up on them. and when the 5th coil pack came out the spring fell out of it -___-. but even if this was the problem wouldn't the car still run on 5 cylinders? - hadent changed the plugs my self yet - only had the car 2 weeks

hmm so thats pretty much what happened. havent had a chance to put new coilpacks in, or plugs as yet. but not that keen on forking out 550 dollars for split fires if its not the problem..

Cheers, Luke

/ IT STILL MISSFIRES...Back to the drawing board... Replaced all the plugs and put in an AU falcon coil pack set up - all brand new so ive pretty much eliminated ignition as a source for the problem.

So.

-runs fine when its cold. when it reaches optimum operation temperature, i can drive it as hard as i want to for about 5 minutes / dies in the ass

-Ignition has pretty much been ruled out.

-no boost or vaccum leaks.

-not a fuel problem as it only happens when the car is hot.

so.

Tonight im going to Replace the AFM.

After that i might look at the sensors / oxygen sensor? or water temp sensor not letting the ecu change maps (is this even possible, dont know much about rb20's)

Has the fuel pump been replaced?

How did u fit the au coils? What ecu are u running?

Do u have any pics of the spark plug tips? U said that had calcium.

The au coilpacks are easy as to fit, just suss the write up on 31 club, you need to cut your coilpack loom up and merge it with the falcon plug, cost me about 200 for the set up + new plugs - all brand new!

And the problem was the ignitor pack.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
