hey guys, just a few questions about changing sparkies.

i can see that the manifold has to come off to change them, so will i need to changed the gasket you think or can i put the old one back on. im scared it will leak though.

and if the spark plugs are f**ked does that generally mean that my coil packs could be too?

thanks

dont know what manifold your thinking of taking off to change the spark plugs dude, but there is deffinately no gaskets that need to come off.. you need to take the plastic cover in the middle of ur engine (between the tappet covers) off, then unplug and take out the coil packs..

sorry but this is the first time ive worked on a skyline engine, ive got a 1993 gts-t r33 rb25, it seems to me that my air intake manifold covers like 4 of my spark plugs, and i cant seem to get at the any other way then to remove the manifold to get to them. im a bit of an amatuer still with engines and general information about skylines.

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...showtopic=42819 hope that helps you.. thats a thread on removing the coil packs, it will get you 95% of the way there..

once you remove the coil packs you will need a special tool to fit into head to unbolt the spark plugs.. i was lucky to keep my old honda civic tool as it fits into the holes perfectly and is the same size..

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      Out of curiosity, what's the reason for converting? I think @R3N3 might have the Frenchy's kit in the R33? I somehow think of you as the ambassador for realistic and clean street-driven setups nowadays

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      careful when running the car after a boil over. Ive heard you can lose enough coolant that it won't show the right temps because of too much air in the system (or something like that). Make sure the levels are good before trying again.  Maybe a mobile mechanic can come have a look with their scan tool ?

      OK, just for some extra clarity - there is more than one option at Frenchy's. 1. You can buy the whole kit - with or without the actual compressor. The whole kit includes mounts, hoses, condensor, etc. That's either ~$2200 or ~$2800. No surgery required with this option. 2. You can buy just the bracket (~$600), or the bracket with the compressor (~$1200). Either of this or the above option "without the compressor" is if you already have an Echo comp or you are able to source one locally. Whatever the case, in this option, you will need surgery done on your hoses to adapt to the new compressor. When I said "the Frenchy's kit", I meant the whole kit in option 1. It is obviously somewhat more $$ than a $1500 OEM compressor. But if I had to spend $1500 on an OEM compressor, I would certainly consider spending double that to renew and significantly update everything forward of the firewall. Another option is to rebuild your original compressor. My R34 comp is currently dead and I will be most likely doing that to it if the spare one in the shed is also leaky.

      V35 Overheat + Coolant Boil & Overflow + Engine not Starting

      By carnoobb · Posted

      Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
