he he... I don't know.. I destroyed my motor and when I had it rebuilt the problem had gone... when we pulled the motor out we discovered the thermostat was dead so we replaced it... I believe it was the thermostat causing my problem but as you have replaced yours I don't think it would be that...???

sorry I can't be more help

cheers

id replace the coil packs or maybe jusrt borrow some i know what you said up the top but there is a first for everything and i had this problem once, i was driving along and bang it sounded like a rex, i thought it had dropped a cylinder or somthing, i got home took the cover off to see the coil packs tapped them a bit and bam up and running perfect and hasnt missed a beat since. although i still keep the alan key in the car just in case so it might be one of your coil packs isnt wright.

yeh thats a possiblity but its just harder wen checking when cold cause on the rb20det i can only reach cylinders 1-3 numbrs 4,5,6 are under the inlet piping :D

i dont use the cover on there but wen it breaks down wen hot u can just play around lookin 4 fault once engine is hot, but now being the cold issue i have limted time to fault find b4 it corrects itself and drives normal,

the fault is so annoying cause it is intermittant it wont do it many days, this will sound strange but it only happens on hot days once parkd out front work 4 9 hours then wne drive it goes rexxy till engine warms up. on a cooler day it wont do it!!!!

me confussed

Time to bite the bullet me thinks :)

Had this problem once for approx 2hrs....

changed spark plugs, put car back together :)......

sounds like a WRX!

take coil packs / plugs etc etc out again... tighten!

SKYLINE again!

in my opinion it was just a loose connection or something I hadn't tightened properly. Obviously yours is something more serious but everything points to the coil packs so if you can be bothered buy 1 and swap it round till you find the right one........ or if your made of money just replace em all :wassup:

okay wen my car is cold it goes in to sterioded rexxy mod until it gets warm mayb 5 mins driving , wen my coil pack go fualty they break down when hot so this leads me to beleive that it is not the coil packs!!!!!!

iam guessing spark plugs any suggestions any1

thanks ppls

Have you tried adjusting the tps? When it runs smoothly what idle rpm have you got. You have nothing to lose by adjusting the tps to lower the idle rpm if too high or vise versa to around 650/700 at idle. If tps is out of sinc it will give erratic readings and create hunting idle quality.

Well what i would do is, when up first start it and its missing or running on one less cylinder go through and unplug each coil 1 by 1 untill you find which one is the trouble one. You'll be able to tell which one it is because when you unplug the faulty one it will do nothing but sound the same but the others will make it sound worse, then simply replace it with a good one.

But if it is one of your coil packs, and you replace it, it wont be long and you'll have to replace them all I recon. So if you can aford it I would replace the lot with some splitfire ones(arond $650 if you shop about) or go for some seperate coils and run leads to your plugs eg: CDI type setup.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.

      Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention

      So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34

      From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
