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).

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 :)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.
