Hey everyone, i know this is going a few pages back... but regarding coil packs and issues with them; Mine on my R34GTT seem to have started playing up (shaking, mainly noticeable on idle) and car has far less power than normal.

This happened to my previous R34GT and i replaced the whole lot with Yellowjackets, this fixed the problem.

I've ordered some replacements but my main concern is if i'm doing any damage to the car by driving it around before i receive/install the replacements.

Because i know there's a problem i am driving it like a nancy boy as i'm worried i'll screw something up.

I'm assuming that your first port of call was changing spark plugs?

If the coilpacks are on their way out, and they are bad enough that its not idling right, it will def be missing on boost and you'll hear a bunch of misfires through the exhaust.

I'd change plugs to a $25 set of Copper plugs and see if the problem persists, before spending $$$ on new coilpacks.

What mods? and what plugs are in it atm?

Thanks for the reply mate,

Have changed the spark plugs with no avail (problem persisted), definitely missing on boost but once i noticed something wasn't right i didn't really want to push the car too hard.

Only modification is adjustable coilovers, apart from that it's completely stock. Plugs are factory at the moment.

I'm fairly certain it's the coil packs as it feels exactly the same as my last car's issues

Hard luck Tony. I know how much time you put into that over the last few months! I'm waiting for someone to steal my car (secretly wishing)...seems only to happen to the people who don't want theirs stolen :/

On the brighter side, you can upgrade your daily earlier than expected...

Sorry to hear man :(

all it needs is tyre level with guards front and rear and will be perfect :)

how much low will I get from eibach springs? I would like to drop it only like an inch on the stock coilovers... want this one to be legal as possible

this... oh god this!

Pulled carb apart and got busy with the carby cleaner

Fixed the out of tune jettings

Replaced the ridiculously restrictive air filter with just mesh

Idle's now more stable

Throttle response improved greatly

Sound is now even louder/better

Might aswell service it too while it's stripped

Don't think neighbors seem happy though apparently 15k+rpm at 11.30pm is breaking some law

the smackdown... embrace it

Hey Scott's gonna be making a 3.5" dump an front pipe(2 piece) for around the same price of all the other combos.. Would you be interested? Coz then that's 3 of us

dunno man... I was planningn to buy second hand so it's cheap and doensn't have ANY shine to it

Don't go too low, evo handles great from stock, so any lowering is purely cosmetic / anti-4wd jokes.

An inch is about perfect isn't it? What wheels are on it?

yeah, that's what i'm after... about 1"

rims are KOYA RG Tech (Advan RG ripoff's) 18x9.5 but unsure of affset untill i take one off... looks to be approx +20

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
