hey guys, still trying to fix up the engine in my series 1 r33.

picture 1: so i noticed on my greddy intake that there is 4 points that are blocked, i could not find anywhere that said what these were for and im very new to skylines

and its got me screwed! if anyone could tell me what there for/ where to run them, if they are needed at all, would be great!

picture 2: so my fpr is not rigged up? and i cant seem to find exactly how to hook it up? i seen some diy but even with them i found they were a bit hard to understand, like i said i am a noob, but like everyone you have to start somewhere and i would rather learn rather than just get it done somewhere,

picture 3: i took my coilpacks out today to have a look over them and i noticed oil where the spark plug is, seemed odd to me, is that normal or? i was thinking that if its not normal i have a leaking gasket and oils finding its way there.

ill try to help, the fuel reg needs fed the returning fuel which is at the front of the rail nearest the timing cover, the bottem is the return to the tank and the top one needs fed vacuum from your plenum.

The coilpack oil is likely from your rocker cover gaskets leaking, so just get some new gaskets.

AS for the plenum outlets, just look at a stock manifold and you'll have

1) BOV vacuum line

2) Emissions pipe to charcoal canister, could be 2for that

3) fuel reg vacuum line

im not sure what effect it would have on the coilpacks, you wouldn't want them swimming in oil obviously, probably quite common for the age of the car. Cant be running to well with the fuel reg not even hooked up, its looking pretty old too.

good luck with it

yeah i bought it how it is now mate. just fixing previous owners problems, will be getting full rebuild and everything neccesary just at beggining stages trying to learn

everything i can and get some know how, engine will be going in different car.

your fuel reg is not hooked up becaue you dont need it man,,,you have the standard fuel reg there and its vacumn is connected to the Throttle body...(that is red hose form fuel rail to TB)... now one of those pipes on the plenum would be for the aftermarket reg that you dont need ..so just remove that fuel reg in the picture...the other hose is probably a BOV vacumn hose ..where is your BOV by the way?..as for the oil in the coilpack it is a tiny amount and probably just spillage from somebody filling the oil up.which cylinder is it?..check for leaks anyway

It was probably running that reg and 600hp, then got returned to stock lol , by the way one of those injectors looks like its not bolted down, silver plate things not on

the stock reg should be hooked to the plenum not the throttle, the throttle one is for the Charcoal canister I think,

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
