Rb25det Rough After Sparkies And Oil Change

[benny bobo]

Hey,

I have an R33 GTS-t (Stock with Exhaust and Pod)

I recently hit 100k and changed my oil (10W50) and filter. New sparkies (iridium). Was gonna do the rest tomorrow.

Problem is, the car is now running pretty rough. Sound is hard to describe, kind of a rotary sound maybe???

Any ideas what I done wrong?

Maybe I didnt plug one of the coil plugs in properly.

Would that cause it? or maybe is there another reason?

It'll be missing because of something you've done (or haven't done) regarding the sparkplugs and coilpacks. Just check it all over again and im sure you'll find the problem. While your there check yoru coil packs for hairline cracks. If they are original items then they are most likely about to let go and maybe removing and replacing has upset one or more and finsihed it off, anythings possible.

Luckily it was my stupidity of not plugging one of the coil looms in properly...

Went to do my timing belt this morning, but found that my idler and tensioner were just about crapped.

I rang a couple of autobarns and cheapa spares, but they had none in stock but they quoted about 260 (130 for each).

Lucky they didnt have them in stock cos I would have been ripped off. There was a post on SAU that said you could get them from a bearing place for but $50 each...

What pisses me off about autocar and other car shops is they never have the stuff i need in stock.

Autobarn didnt have timing belts (standard or aftermarket, they ordered me in a gates one), aircon and ps belts, or the tensioner and idler (not even in a kit).

Does anyone know of a place to get the goods we need for our imports, that always has stuff in stock, particularly the performance stuff (gates\hks timing belts, nismo\performance oil filters, etc..) on or close to the gold coast??

Well like you said Autobarn never have parts in stock, you may have more luck with Repco stocking things like timing belts etc. However you will come to find that its not always so easy to get parts off the shelf for our imports. Sure they carry parts for camrys, commodores, and falcons but luckily we arent driving one of those!

In my opinion the best place for:

Performance parts - Nengun, Greenline, etc

Timing belt idler & tensioner - BSC, roughly $120 for both

Servicable parts - Repco, Nissan
