Rb25 det running poorly - coil related?

not sure if related to the coil or dirty plugs but my rb25 seems to run with a struggle in low rev range. The rev range is not smooth and feels like its spitting.

It has 5 red jacket coils and 1 standard coil which the previous owner diagnosed as the cause of the issue. 

Im in the process of removing plugs and just needed a confirm from others who have had this issue resolved.

is it the odd coil, dirty plugs, or both? 

Thanks

Could be anything but borrow a known good set of coils to confirm. I would only use genuine OEM coils or Splifires. Pull the plugs while the coils are out and if they are not in good cond get a new set gapped to 0.8mm

Is the problem noticeable at idle?

If so, pull coilpack plugs one at a time while idling. Listen for a note change as you pull the plug. If there is no note change or a less pronounced note change one one, then chances are that is your dud coil (if that is indeed the problem)

yeah it happens in idle and gets less noticeable as the revs climb.

I just hope its nothing major to do with the motor. I'm getting new plugs to go in with the coils. The owner had mixed plugs and 3 of them require a larger socket to take out. 

I don't get why people do that

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
