Wats up every 1 just bought a r33 gtst s1 ive been looking through the files and seen a lot of stuff on popping sounds at high revs ive changed the plugs about 2 times and each attempt was a failure ive checked the coil packs they seem to be fine they have no cracks in them or anything the first time i pulled the plugs out they were a bit white on the ends with those plugs the car only popped at high revs then a funny thing happened the popping went away but accelleration was retarded throttle felt sticky every thing felt real sticky wasnt blowing off properly but you you could pretty much redline it every gear 9 outta 10 times then a week later that stopped throttle felt better but popping came back changed the plugs again and cleaned all the pipes and throttle body put plugs back in acceleration was bit better but still got popping at hi revs and a little pop in the low revs around 2000 changed the plugs again i think one of them wasnt spaced right put new ones in any ways i think ngk bcpr7es gapped them at 8mm now the acceleration is alot better engine idles beautiful but i have a major problem i cant oppen the gas right up as soon as i give it full gas it starts popping bad if you give half you can redline it but cant do this fast tottaly a pain in the ass so now the popping noise dosnt sound so much in the plugs more under me in the exhaust bit more of a back fire do you think this could have to do with fuel like maybe its running to lean or something if any one has had any simillar problems could they help me it would be much appreciated

My mate had this same problem, it turned out to be the coil packs. Get a shit heap of insulating tape and tape up the stems, and grab some araldite and fill in any cracks. You can give that a try, otherwise you are up for a few new coil packs.

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
