If it's your coilpacks that are buggered, you should try and replace those yourself. Coilpack replacement is not a standard activity during your 100 000 km service. So to put it in at a workshop and have them figure out the the problem and to source a replacement is going to cost you a motsa! As a general rule, try and put your car into a shop in as good a condition as possible, to save you money. I'm getting my 100 000k service done on my 34 next week. I'm doing the fluids, filters and plugs myself. But letting them do the seals, bearings and belts. You get your car back faster and save more money that way. All the while learning more about that thing you love...

Have a look in the for sale section for some OEM coilpacks. I remember seeing some a couple of days ago for a 34 that were going for $200! Failing that, another good rule to follow with imports is if something breaks, replace it with aftermarket. So read up on one of the countless threads about Yellow Jackets vs Splitfire and make a decision. You'll come of much better further down the track! :D

Thanks for the info, looked at the Splitfire v Yellow Jackets and a fair few issues with both by the looks of things. I have 94K on the clock so might as well do the service at the same time as change all the coil packs rather than phaff about trying to replace them one at a time. Its more finding a decent garage to have the work performed, I dont spend much time at home so not a clue who are any good as Adelaide is limited at the best of times :)

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
