Get feeler gauge. No need for "gapping tool".

A light tap to close the gap on something firm is perfect.

Besides this is a na skyline, you shouldn't be having spark blow out.

Unless your igniter has carked it

Did you use genuine cool packs and harness?

You didnt crack it from overtighting it, you cracked it because you didnt hold the socket straight at some point while tightening. If your holding the spark plug properly and tighten hard enough you

Ill get whichever one is cheaper since i already paid too much on this shit already.

Yes im using stock rb20 coilpack and loom.

My friend also told me it could be my ignitor. But dont u think its strange it just started doing this as soon as i serviced the car?

Also i dropped a couple of the spark plugs maybe about 20cm when i was trying to put it in the block, maybe a couple of them lost there stock measurment?

Also maybe the grounding on some of the plugs are dirty, ill degrease them

And about the afm, ill clean it out tomorrow but what do i use? When i had issues with air flow meter before it limited the revs to like 2300, this issue is way different it randomly putters every few seconds on idle and when i rev the car out the revs dont go up smoothly, it goes up a bit cuts off goes up a bit more

spark plugs don't like being dropped. A cracked ceramic insulator can cause ignition issues. A set of copper plugs is cheap as sh*t, would be putting in a set of new plugs if you hadn't already, can always just keep them aside for later use if it doesn't fix your issue.

I just use brake cleaner on afm, give it a fairly quick spray in the direction of airflow.

Wait what. R34's don't use igniters. How are you using an RB20 loom and coilpacks?

Guys the problem kinda just went away. After my petrol was very low this morning, i filled up and realised it stopped doing it. It doesnt cut off when revinvg it out and doesnt putter at idle . Could it be bad fuel i got at caltex?

Sorry it wasnt caltex, it was BP on kissing point road. I filled up when the tanker was putting fuel in the resevoir. I heard when it does it all the shit stuff from the bottom of the tank comes up and mixes with the fuel. I didnt believe it but it must be true. f**k BP then, i want compo for the time and money wasted

Good luck.

I remember a dude built an engine (RB30DE, he is builder so was doing it for fun), filled up at a dodgy fuel station, engine seized on the driveway out of the place. Didn't get a cent.

Water in fuel or something.

I never fill up at Caltex or BP, always with Mobil (Now 7 Eleven). Helps when they're closest to my house.

Change your fuel filter, maybe get injectors clean if they're old.

I started to get the engine problems when the fuel ran low though, like the fuel light was on. So could the rubbish stuff at the bottom finally get sucked into the fuel system and then it started causing ignition misfiring problems? Ill change the fuel fuelter and use injector cleaner... Do u think i need to drain and clean the fuel tank and system as well?

Does my issue sound like it was because of the ffuel? Does bad fuel cause these type of misfiring and puttering problems?

      GOT SUM's RB34

      By klutched · Posted

      Got some decent progress after work yesterday and also today. Got the ECU all wired and passenger side interior all back together. Kept the wiring up nice and high to avoid people standing on it. Got the surge tank relays rewired and tidied up the pump wiring and cut a hole to bring the cables through.  I found a spare USB cable I had lying around so I decided to cut it up and see if I could use it for my CAN 1 bus. Turned out one of the pins I needed was to the shield of the cable so i cut it up and desoldered it and resoldered to the correct pins.  Had the issue with the powersteering hose hitting the A/C compressor and fan shroud. I pulled the bracket off and modified it to remove the front mounting point which now clears it all. Will keep an eye on it to see if theres any signs of fouling once it's up and running.

      So today I went well outside my comfort zone (again) to replace my valve cover gasket.  I have had a big leak over the exhaust leading to a lot of smoke and smell every time I drove it. The leak was in the rear driver's corner.  The job wasn't hard as such, just a bit finicky and time consuming.  The old gasket was rock hard and broken right where the leak was.  The leaky corner had so much sitting oil in it.  The good news to my amateur eyes was no buildup or sludge under the cover. It all looked fairly nice in there.   I haven't started it yet. I ran out of light and body when putting the coils and injector loom back in. Probs only 30min left for the morning.  I was so nervous putting the cover back on, I must have lifted it 5 times to make sure the gasket was still seated properly. God it's going to be nice to be leak free and not make other traffic light queuers think my car is about to explode.

      Gave the Mazda it's first wash, it will need some clay, a light compound, and polish polish to remove a few swirl marks, but that will be a job for when I have a full day to get my DA polisher action on

      Just did this job on my 32 with the boost doc kit. was quite simple to fit, hardest part was getting the rubber bungs back on the firewall. does anyone know how the heater will work now without the flap in the bend? Will I just have a heater on 24/7 now?
