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

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
