Tragic

I had this exact same problem when i did my spark plugs. Sounded almost like a wrx on idle but chugged when ever i tried to accelerate. The cause was the coil packs. When pluggin one of the coil packs in the ground wire got bent back and wasn't contacting. Pull out each coil pack one at a time and check all the connections are ok. Hope this helps.

I am running kinda the same setup as you. I have a r33 RB25det running 10psi but with a turbo back exhaust. I started having issues with the car missing when the boost went over 8psi , I was told that with the increase boost it can cause the spark to be blown out when the air rushes it. Thus the smaller gap makes it harder to blow out. Im not sure why the missing started cause i was running the same setup before the only thing i can guess at is that the coil packs were getting older and thus providing less spark? Anyway I put some BKR5EIX-11's (1.1mm gap) in my car but the engine still missed when i hit 8+ psi. Then i re gapped my standard plugs to 0.8mm and the problem went away. I now have BKR5EIX's (08.mm gap) on order, they should be going in the car tomorrow. I will let you know if they make much of a difference over the standard plugs at 0.8mm.

I + a mate. My bro might be coming on his bike aswell but not sure yet...

Have we got a definate time yet? I say meet at car park at say 10:45 leave at 11 sharp. I think it take us about half a hour to get there? Correct me if im wrong? Let me know what you think

Dunno if you want it just skylines but my bro and a couple of his friends are interested in taggin along with us on thier bikes? As i said dunno if your interested but i think the more the merrier

Ok just had a chat to him and he is all for it. He won't put down a set discount like 10% due to the fact that its dynamic work and no two jobs are the dame but he said he will offer a discount to people from Skylines Australia. So if you give him a call tell him your from SAU he will look after you Lee

My brother owns and operates a panel & paint shop and i would highly recommend him. Its only a small shop but his work is excellent and he has put out several show cars including a harlequin twin turbo V6 commodore that is going to be in motivation this weekend. Details: Impact Panel & Paint Owner: Sean Booy Ph: 9248 2086 Address: Unit 5 / 27 Truganina Rd Malaga

I have a Apexi pod on my car and i can say you definatly get the sweet induction sound and the flutter between gear changes. Highly recommended

Well i checked every setting on the multi meter and at no point did it beep while touching them together??? I did a bit of a google on continuity and unfortunatly i don't think my little multi meter has this setting

Ok just checked it out for you. With everything off there is nothing however if you turn the headlights on it pulls about 11v as you would expect. Hope that helps

Sorry I got the 17" R34 GTS-T rims on my car and im not really looking at swapin over rims when i go out. So i'm look 235/45's tires

Do you have any contact details for them? I couldn't find them in yellowpages or whitepages? They sell used tires i take it?

Im looking at having some fun with drifting, not on the street of course but under controlled conditions. Anyway i was talking to one of my friends in Sydney and he goes to a place where he can pic up second hand tires with 80-90% tread quite cheap. Does anyone know any places in Perth where i can find cheap tires. Second handers are fine but no re-treads obviously.

You could try autoworx Im pretty sure they had some when i was skyline shopping. http://www.perthcars.com/#redirect

Ok update, im a idiot! Spoke to my mechanic friend who told me a fact i should have known. When turning the ignition on it only supplies power to the pump for approx 3 seconds. So by the time i got to the back of the car to check the multi meter the power was off. I checked it again and there is power getting to the pump so its definatly a faulty pump Time for a new pump... *sigh*

Chucked a new fuel relay in just to see if that was the problem but it didn't make a difference. I was just going to get the relay tested but when i range up the parts place they said they have some which are classified as old stock so i could have one for $20 Bargain So even thou it wasn't the problem at least i have one spare now Can anyone recommend anything else before i get it towed to a mechanic...

Ok well i went through the boot and found the fuel pump relay. It looks ok but im going to buy another one today and chuck it in. Fingers crossed that that will fix it I pulled the ECU harness off in the kick panel but i'll be buggered if i can match pins to the wiring diagram that sherlock_nzl posted

Im a bit of a newb to the skylines i only got mine about 3 weeks ago. Anyway on friday while driving i noticed my car was loosing power, i would notice it would lose power but then i could put my foot down again and it was fine. Later that day i was driving along when my engine cut out and wouldn't start again. I disconnected one of the fuel lines and turned the ignition to pos #3 to prime the fuel pump but no fuel came out the line, cranked engine over still no fuel. Got her towed home and i have just checked the fuel pump wiring. On the pump are 5 wires going though 2 clips i put a multi meter on them and turned ignition to pos #3 Grey Clip Black Wire - Earthed (confirmed) Green? Wire - 12v Gray w/red strip - 8v Brown Clip Two wires can't remember the colour but both showed zero volts. Can anyone confirm for me what each of these wires do? And with confirmed power through the grey clip can i conclude that my fuel pump has died? Cheers for any help guys

I must with draw my offer for now. On Friday i was driving back from the shops when my car died. Engine cut out and refuses to start. Now when turning her over the fuel pump doesn't prime and im not getting any pressure out of the fuel lines. Will have to wait for the mechanics to open up so i can get someone to check her out

If no one else has given you a spin im more then happy to take you out in my R33 GTS-T. I live in Ocean Reef but i have a friend that lives in Koondoola so its no biggie for me to be out that way. Let me know if ya interested.

Hey guys i headed to the dealer and got the part ($13.50). SteveL it was the correct one perfect fit and the car is shifting sweet again. Cheers for the help guys

Cheers its a 96 series II R33 GTS-T

I picked up my new skyline yesturday however there is a slight problem with it. I found out if you shift to hard the gear selector pops out. I quickly took it appart to find the source of the problem. I don't know the exact part so i'll try to explain it (excuse crappy description) On the end of the gear stick is a steel ball which sits in a plastic sleave which then goes into the gearbox. Its this plastic sleave which is cracked allowing the selector to seperate from the gearbox. I can draw a picture if required As im completely newb to this i have no idea where i can source this part. Also of note the car has a short shifter on it but i think this will be a factory part? Thanks in advance
