Howdy everybody, I'm recently new to the forum/community, read a few topics here and there but never joined up.

However, currently having a issue with my car and looking for some advice from anyone who can lend a struggling bloke a hand.

So, I bought my 2001 r34 25gt at 60k on the clock. At about 90 the standard coil packs started missing the first time. We couldn't find the single coil that was missing. So went ahead and replaced all 6.

I bought them on eBay in 2012 and because of some of the websites gayness I can't go back to view last items in detail from that long ago and I can't for the life of me remember what brand they were and other stuff. And I haven't had a chance to pull them out and look at them.

However I was just wondering as iv noticed it's a regular problem for neo6 motors with the temperature, if anyone knows the best coils to buy for the N/A 25gt or even any advice on how to combat the problem.

Also looking to get a high flow panel filter. Any suggestions on brands or whether it may be better to go a pod filter even though air intake would be warm from motor.

Cheers

Laanyy

Stock panel filter is perfectly fine to make alot of power through. Like 3 times the power an na will make so save your cash.

The best coils are genuine nissan ones.

Then split fire.

Might not actually be the coils though, it could be the loom.

As above, genuine nissan coils are the best bet, many people run splitfires because I believe they are cheaper and just as effective.

Protip: you're not going to make decent power out of an n/a. Short of shaving the head and increasing compression, there isn't anything that will give you significant gains. When you are off your P's, get a GTT.

If it is missing on idle, unplug each coil one by one until you find that the one you unplugged does not make it run worse.

Thanks brothers.

I'm well off p's but I'm just fixing a few bugs on this car before I look to chucking her on the market to upgrade.

We did do trial and error with the coils but it rarely misses and never seems to miss on idle when we have the bonnet of idle which is why I don't mind just replacing all 6

If it were to be the loom, what ways do I have to test it?

And again if I were to replace it, just go with genuine Nissan?

Do either of you fellas know a link or where I could get new genuine Nissan neo coils?

The looms are hard to check as they fail intermittently due to dodgy cracked connectors etc.

I would say amayama would be cheapest for coils, but as you are selling it I wouldn't bother buying new.

Where are you located?

I have some yellow jacket coils laying around you can try and if they work buy them for cheap.

I'm in the Yarra Valley pretty much.

Replaced the spark plugs but haven't cleaned the AFM yet, however not to sure I will bother considering it has started missing more frequently especially under load up hills in low gears around 2 and half revs. So can guarantee the problem is most likely caused by something to do with temperature and the loom considering the miss isn't all the time. I would think if the AFM needed cleaning the miss wouldn't be irregular

But let's just say I was to replace the coils, loom and panel filter.

What would be the best options considering I'm not looking to save money to not looking to spend a fortune.

    • 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.
