Hey guys im posting on here for a mate he has a R32 skyline and after changing the spark plugs its started coughing on boost when going about 5-7psi sometimes it even goes upto 10psi

Mods are

turbosmart dual boost controller

apexi bov

turbo back exhaust

pod filter

we have changed the vacuum lines

fuel filter

intercooler+piping

Sparkplugs

intake pipe

ive even tried my coilpacks in there

Whats the next step nothing has seemed to really help

Thanx for the help guyss :D

what are your spark plugs and what gap are they? also clean your coil packs with contact cleaner....they get quite dirty over time and the dirt/carbon allows the electricity to short up the coil pack to the closest grounding point. you can pull the silicon boots off your coils so you can clean them separately in warm soapy water. I did this on my original factory coils that i replaced with my split fires and they work fine again.

This is the video i used to figure out what to do.

spark plugs should be 0.7mm-0.8mm

try those two things and see if they help.

Assuming you replaced plugs woth the same type and gap I would suspect the coil pack loom

They get brittle and can stuff up after being disturbed. Seeing as your coils don't help it points more towards the loom.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
