Hey guys, brand new to the forum and brand new to the Skyline scene, always wanted an R34 GT-T or GTR, so the other week i decided to buy one

But it seems like the inspection report is a bit dodgy and what the seller told me was off, couldve been resolved by actually seeing the car myself but oh well

I was wondering if anyone could give some insight to some of the issues im having

She was misfiring when i took out the coilpacks and sparkplugs there was water in the valley and 5 of 6 sparkplugs were rusty (cheers prev owner for looking after her) the coilpack springs were all rusty and one of the springs was snapped in half, he also had 3 oem and 3 splitfire coilpacks

So ive replaced coilpacks with splitfires, new wiring harness, new sparkplugs BCPR7ES gapped to 0.9mm, all i can smell is fuel and theres a fair bit of smoke, she is misfiring intermittently

While in neutral and i rev it, when i take my foot off the pedal and it revs down it almost stall

Also if youll notice theres about a billion earthing cables off the battery for some reason

Please be gentle ? thanks

Did you check the plugs? It is reasonably likely that you've fixed a problem with the coil packs but if the plugs are already fouled it won't get better until you change them.

Or a thousand other potential reasons of course

    • 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.
