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,

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
