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

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
