Til they're tight and then a little bit more... Don't Cross Thread them and Don't Over Tighten ! They can break.

Can give you a hand if you need it. :thumbsup:

Can vouch for my local mechanic. He knows what he's doing.

Until it comes to heat shields ! :P

Thanks for the offers of help, I'm going to give it a shot on Saturday solo, just stay tuned for desperate cry's for help, although by then its probably too late :P

What side of town are you at?

Handy Hints:

Tape over or stuff a CLEAN rag in the pipes you just pulled off to get to the head.

If your coil harness is as old as mine, be careful the plugs can be brittle and break.

I find it easier to undo the bits the coils are bolted to, and take it all off in one go. Two bits actually.

With those gone you can get to any nuts or bolts you drop down there, and you can clean spilled oil and stuff easy.

Plugs are pre gapped, this is the easy way to get it right. get the right plugs.

Before removing the plugs, give it a good blow with compressed air and get any bits of crap out.

Those bits of crap can fall into the cylinder or foul the thread for the sparkplug.

The correct way to tighten the plug is explained clearly on the box.

Dont overtighen the coil brakets, its into alloy, so its soft, blue locktight is good.

Dont forget to remove the rags from your pipes (ive done that before haha)

easy peasy japanesy

Rosie in today at Craig Hall in Phillip. Getting suspesion down - legal height and wheel alignment :)

Update: dodgy seller didn't have a "bush" (?) in the front coil overs so that's not getting done today. Break pads instead. Does that mean I need to purchase new front coil overs? He was saying it would be hard to find a bush for the front coil over? :S

do you know the brand of coilover? find out exactly what bush was missing, inline may be able to help you out if you can't source one from a local parts store. - repco can sometimes be handy for things like that.

G4's - one of the front bushes are missing.

assuming you are talking about one of the bushes in the G4 coilover (must be noisy as hell!), you should be able to get what you need from a retailer (just jap) as they can be fully rebuilt.

Yep G4 coilovers - one of the bushes in the front coilovers is missing (Uninstalled). Just Jap sells bushes for G4's? :D brbrbrbrb

Hmm Just Jap doesn't seem to have G4 coilovers / bushes / whatever I was meant to be looking for.

Its funny I've got the same issue with my Tiens, for some reason the front rubber ring that sits at the top of the spring is gone, make it noisy as hell

Nah - they have a very specefic range with suspesion it seems on their website. I'm going to assume they don't stock G4s.

Welcome to my boat - it's a sucky ride.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      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)?
