Hey guys,

Ive made a previous thread here so check for full story....http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/442374-r33-some-kind-of-ignition-problem/

Took my coils out on the weekend and the plugs... coils don't have any visible cracks or damage.. in cylinders 2 and 3 ontop of the plugs was a bunch gunk which looked like a mix of oil and water, im guessing from when I washed the engine bay as the seal of my rocker cover were basically non existent??... cleaned the gunk out the top of the plugs and removed the plugs there was no oil or anything in the cylinders but the plugs most of them were horribly black and looked very fouled... just waiting on my iridiums to come and I will fit them then tape up the coil packs and hope for the best as I cannot afford splitfires right now... my question is guys do you think my coils are finished or just the gunk (oil and water) ontop of the 2 plugs was causing the coils to not do their job properly? ive let the coils dry out now for a few days any other recommendations?.

Cheers in advance guys!

Not everyone uses their iPhone to browse these forums. You posted the exact same thing in your other thread at 2am. 12hrs later you decide to start another thread?

Your solution has already been given to you. Put the new plugs in, clean up your current coils and reinstall, save up and buy yellow jacket coils. Job done, move on to fix any other problems.

You also wasted money on the iridium plugs, they'll most likely foul up because of your old coils. Buy copper BCPR6ES next time.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
