Ok mechanic came out this morning and did a few test with the spark and the injectors and in the process blew his test light.

Told me its the coil pack.

So i go and buy a coil pack which was $110 which isnt to bad.

Fitted the coil pack and its still f**ked. Not happy, he will be coming back for round two shortly.

It is now looking like the MSD DIS 4 pack or the microtech, i hope not then its getting into the $$$$$$$$$$$$.

James check the coil pack plugs make sure there clean use a little screw driver & scrap the metal pins & try again, also as some one has said check the plate the packs mount to make sure where the coil packs bolt to is clean, thats the earth point. Also check you igniter plugs ( for ser1 )on the back of the coil pack engine cover.

I may have a small window open on the weekend. I don't know if I can come to you though. I have an EXTREMELY good tow truck driver who can literally tow anything anywhere if you want his number.

He dropped J-boy's car straight into the garage for me and that car is pretty low.

His name is Steve from Pacific Towing 0412 032 023. Just tell him Daniel from Elite Racing referred you.

If you can leave it with me over the weekend I will be able to sort it out but just have been sooooo busy lately. Obviously no charge if I can't fix it.

Its ok Daniel thanks anyway, the MSD has been sent away to be repaired so im just waiting now.

It better be the MSD as this guy has already cost me a new coil pack which didnt even need changing.

Unfortunately Ive had that tow truck driver before he is pretty good, but i dont want to risk the frontbar snapping in half.

It was a bit close last time, i think i lost a couple MMs getting it off the tray :( .

Why does the guy think it's the MSD?

Well he checked the power going from the microtech to the MSD and that was fine. So he said the problem is the MSD as it is not functioning properly to the coils.

It was dropping cylinders 1 & 6 from the coils apparently.

      Replacing turbo water line - any recommendations or advice?

      By jtha7 · Posted

      Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.

      That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.

      I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.

      If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
