Hey guys,

One of the wires going into coil pack number 1 has come out of the plug, effectively giving me 5 cylinders :D

how the hell do i get the yellow bit of the plug out so i can rewire it into it?

or where do i get a new plug/harness?

And i seem to have blown my exhaust manifold gasket ;)

I know beau had this problem, whats it cost to get done, and whats the gasket price itself?

ive had a great few days :P

cheers ;)

i thought i had a receipt around here but i've misplaced it for now.

Inlet and exh manifold gasket will set you back $185 together. That price was from Metro Nissan @ Windsor.

I would assume the exh gasket to be more expensive.

u can crimp some spade connectors onto the wiring and connect them up that way.

my rb25 seems to have that arrangement for one of the coils.. if u like i can take photos.

nissan apparently has plugs though..

Yeh i was thinking that, but ide rather do it properly

is there anyway of pulling the plugs apart to reuse them?

even if i buy new ones i dont know how to get them open to solder/crimp the wires in etc

guess ill check the plug properly and see if there is a code on it somewhere

cheers for the replies,

i just swapped a mates coil pack harness to use for a few days :)

i tried to reuse the plug but it was fairly brittle/coroded and ended up cracking to pieces pretty much, so off to nissan to see if i can get new plugs, that or i call zoom/alljap and see what a 2nd hand harness is worth

whered you get that from?

im hoping a new coil pack harness from nissan isnt heartattack priced :Oops:

oh yeh, the leak turned out to just be the gasket from dump pipe to frontpipe, was leaking pretty bad, blew a whole section of gasket out, hence the noise was pretty loud.

is a hell of alot easier and cheaper to fix than the manifold gasket! :)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By niZmO_Man · Posted

      12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).

      How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
