Tommy Tape Silicon Rubber Wrap - $13 from bunnings. Has anyone used this to tape up their coilpacks because of a misfire issue and what r peoples opinions of this product? It says that it can withstand up to 200deg C temps only, but so is the Selleys industrial silicon 401 that lot of guys are using. I couldnt find anything good for 800C so bought this quality flexible tape which supposedly dosent come off like electrical tape. Phone dosent allow me to load a pic of the product :(

Do your have cracks etc in the casing?

If not then wrapping them won't do much as they are stuffed on the inside.

Only time wrapping them helps (and good old fashioned Elec Tap works) when they crack and arc outside the case

There is NO was temps will get to 800c on the top of the motor mate.

Inside the actual exhaust housing of the turbo, yeah maybe.

On my old skyline, it had Nitto tape. Never came off. Current one has.... Nitto tape too. Best shit.

I very VERY much doubt it will even get past 150c up there. Even at the hottest, the engine is still touchable up top.

Or just buy new coil packs.

My car rarely misses/pops/loses power, at least thats what it seems like its doing when it does happen, its only happened like 5% of the time on 3 or 4 days on WOT around 5000rpms and up all this time I've been driving. So could be anything really. Used to happen regularly before, after the tune with Nistune it went away completely for 5-6 months and then recently re-surfaced but only 3-4 times as I said so a bit confusing. I do run 0.8mm gapped NGK coppers...so thought, why not tape up the coilpacks and give that a go.....and Nismoid, I dont know if there are cracks in them as I couldnt see the last time I pulled them out- which was maybe more than half a year ago...pinch.gif

Think about what you just said. The biggest YOU CAN. If he can't run 0.8 then gap them down. Even with brand new OEM coils i was missing with a 0.8 gap. Now at 0.6 they are fine. There is nothing wrong with a slightly smaller gap. Do you think going from 0.6 to 0.8 will magically give you another 50rwkw and half your fuel usage??

Tape really,

Urethane is the fix,

done this on some coil pack on my car done some 100,000 k`s now & stil sweet as .

i also run fibre washers under base to try to stop heat going straight in them.

post-36964-0-51932800-1322098573_thumb.jpg,

iam going to put a write up & post it,

this is $20 fix if you buy a Larger can of URETHANE SEAL COAT.

Cheers Chuckie.

the heat will still transfer through the bolt holding the coil to the head

Oh thanks for info pinch.gif ,

i may try few more on then see if that helps :thumbsup: ,

heat transfer`s regardlees that was just too see if it helped as coil pack sitting on head hurts more,

i looking at Heatshrink too see what happens with that,:thumbsup:

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
