Ok guys I really need your help.

Im sitting here covered in fuel thinking I had a dead/dieing fuel pump. I just spent 200 on a new one, but this didnt fix my problem.

I think my coils have given up the go. What happen is when I started it today I went for a small drive (hitting boost) as you do and it was fine, I was going to the Beenleigh pet store. Next thing I know I put my foot down, not hard but normal and she just bogged down, lost power then came back lost then back all the way down to a roundabout where I turned to head back home.

Stilling at the lights it was running like shit and when you put the pedal down without being in gear it felt like it was running on 1 cylinder and could smell fuel. After I got past the lights and got upto the Pasific hwy after about 80kph it was fine again and didnt play up till I got it home in cornubia, now ive got a darkish small amount of smoke from my exhaust and as she sits right now she isnt liking idle.

Would anyone have some coils they are not useing if possible to see if it is the coils or has anyone had or seen this issue before?

I am a 3rd year Mechanic so I do have some brains but this has me f**ked now. all lines are good?

The only other thing is my coils have been tapped up by the owner before me so I put a small amount of rape tape over it to make sure no spark was getting lost to the side walls

boosting on idle means a few issues are going on. firstly it depends on where the boost gauge it is getting it's reading from, as it may simply be an issue with gunk in the boost line resulting in it holding boost in the line. if it reads from the intercooler pipe then it will never see vaccum, but may be seeing positive boost on idle, which means that the timing is WAY out. essentially it has anti-lag going on because the timing is extremely retarded.

if the boost gauge reads from the plenum (stock location), then it should read vaccum at idle (or zero if there is a major leak), but it would be very hard for it to see positive boost at idle as the throttle butterfly is closed and the engine only gets the air it needs to idle from a very small hole in the throttle body, and the IAC and AAC. you would also hear the turbo spooling a bit (depending on intake setup).

AFM I think is f**ked, only shows 0.08vts on my scan tool that used from work, I'm thinking its f**ked, sadly from my supplier there $580 new or 270+gst for a reco, wreckers at coopers are $250

Anyone know a better place?

Yeah... right here.... plenty of people upgrade to Z32 AFM's that have perfectly fine standard ones

OR

Do the tutorial for resoldering the joints inside the unit. If you have a soldering iron and some basic skills will cost you next to nothing. Or if you have a mate that is an auto electrician etc then it will cost you maybe a 6 pack :)

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
    • @GTSBoy yeah sorry i know thery are known for colors bud those DBA are too in colors 🙂 Green will be good enough for me
