i was just wonderign how much power the standard R34 GTT coils can handle as ive been told that i need to upgrade them cause thats what is causing the missfire when i rev the car out. im currently running 0.8bar max boost but the missfire still occurs at standard 0.4bar. on hi boost i have 195KW ATW. only mods are exhaust,filter and boost. has anyone else had this sort of problem with similar specs??? could the power have damaged the coils and should i upgrade or just replace whats damaged?? also if anyone knows where i can purchase splitfire coils at competitive prices if i need to upgrade as nissan one are 198 each i was told.

thanks for any input. greatly appreciated.

Your spark plugs are gapped to 1.1 mm standard and if you up the boost you need to gap them to 0.8mm.

That's you first port of call but your car could very easily have another 20-20-50k on it but has been wound back meaning that your coils may well need replacing.

There are a couple of threads on here about taping them up and arralditing them etc but it doesn't seem to work for everybody.

The coil pack tend to over heat cause of th enclosed area that they are in, I removed all the covers including the thin black piece that slides out after 2 of mine overheated. Plus it makes it easier to replace the sparkies.

But yeah your misfiring when the engine gets reved higher is the exact same problem I had a year ago. Hope everything works out for you.

if i tell my mechanic/performance shop to "gapp down my coils to 0.8" will they know what im on about?? also thanks for the healp guys. i'll try and sort it out asap. and let u know how its goes. thanks again for the input

Its your spark plugs you need to gap to 0.8mm (or buy pre-gapped coppers and just put them in yourself, will cost about $25 and 25mins of your time).

Gapping the plugs from 1.1mm down to 0.8mm is just a quickfix for coils that are on the way out. After that you tape them with electrical tape, then when that fails you can araldite them then all that is left is buying a $600+ set of Splitfires (which is what im waiting on delivery of).

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
