Ok, so i installed them tonight

Gripes:

They have no thorough instructions

the ones that are in it, only showed how to remove the old coilpacks, and its not just a reverse installation...

Second

You cant just reinstall them into your old coilpack holders

it doesnt work...at all

you can install one bolt on each one, but when you put them on the car in the holder, its misaligned

so i didnt use it

BUt, when you install them without the holder, they are rather secure

they flop around but dont pull upwards, we shall see how it works out

It helped my idle immensly

its still high, but much more even

i also replaced plugs along with the coilpacks

TOmorrow ill bring it out for a test run before i install the wideband and SAFC2

see if it improved my boost problem at all...

anyways, more to come

the one thing I did notice .. whilst reading the instuctions on how to change the coilpacks

I think the NEO uses a slightly different configuration than the non neo motors.

Looking at the how to article.. it seems that on the non NEO motors.. the coilpacks are grouped in 3 and attached to a plate ( 2 plates for 6 coilpacks ) on the NEO the coilpacks are just held in with 2 screws per coilpack. If you got the right coilpacks for the motor . and they are not a direct fit , I would be complaining or seeking re-embursment.

there is only one set for all years WGNC34

the non neo has the bracket that are grouped in 3

ill make some kind of bracket , not a big deal

just didnt know if it was only me that had that problem or not

maybe i have an odd holder?

i dunno

doesnt work for me...ghey

i cant speak for performance

but it improved my idle alot, its alot more smoothe

im installing my HKS acutator in like 10 minutes nad ill let you know how it performs once i get my boost back.

i think my wastegate is failing

man its going to be a bit of a headf*ck to make the bracket up accurately .

why not just send em back and say they dont fit? will be a lot easier.

from what I could see of the bracket that groups the 3 coil packs together it looks like its

made out of reasonably thick ally plate. Or why not just see if you can get that plate from

a wreakers etc?

well, theo problem is i bought them from a used place, but htey wre brand new

i got em for 350 USD

which is like 250 less than everywhere else

SO...its owrth the hastle, ill just trim off the mounting parts that cover hte larger holes, and get a piece of metal and make like a T with the bolt and metal to hold htem down.

shoudl only take an hour or so

well, theo problem is i bought them from a used place, but htey wre brand new

i got em for 350 USD

try buying your parts thru www.nengun.com (they are in Japan)

They are only $375 USD new for the right ones

I have been called worse haha..

no its just the 1st time doing it .. was just a bit of a pain .. compared to some of the other cars I have worked on . That and the breather hose being rock hard etc etc etc..

but .. got my good 1/4 drive ratchet set.. so those pesky alan keys holding the cover on dont stand a chance now.

plugs are hard to change?

Your crazy for saying that!

    • Not R7R. Meant to type R&R, obviously enough.
    • Bugger "making it look stock". I put one conventional internally fused Hella relay behind each globe. I just pulled the plugs off the back of the globes and built new loom segments with male and female plug parts to match up to the original loom and the globe, and used the original power wires to each globe coming from the switch through the original loom plug to trigger the relays. Ran a big fat (also separately fused) power wire across the front of the car to feed all the relays. It's as ugly as f**k, but it is wedged down between the headlight and battery on the RHS and the airbox and headlight on the LHS, and no-one ever looks in my engine bay, and on the odd occasion that they do I simply give no f**ks for what they think. Fully reversible - not that you'd ever want to. For f**k's sake. It's a Skyline. They made million of the bloody things. We've been crashing them into roadside furniture for 30 years now. There is a negative side effect to putting relays on the headlights. The coil current is too little to properly clean the contacts in the switches and they get blacked up and you have to open them up every couple of years and clean them manually. I have 25 years of experience on this point.
    • I was poking through the R34 wiring diagrams vs R33 and noticed that the R34 has proper headlight relays while the R33 is like the R32 and sends full headlight power through the headlight switch. I'm not afraid of wiring but I really would like to do this in a way that looks OEM (clipping into open positions on the OEM relay box) and also unlike the factory wiring which interlocks the high beam and low beam on the halogen series 1 GTR headlights I want to make it such that turning on the high beams keeps the low beams on as well. Any advice on how to locate the specific connectors + crimp terminals + relays I need? I was thinking one NO relay for low beams and another for combined high + low running off the factory high beam headlight connector. I don't really want to splice into a crusty old probably discontinued factory harness so fully reversible is my goal here.
    • Pretty sure they run the same engine as the Q50 hybrid which specifies 95 RON.  I ran 98 in mine for a while, but it made no difference in performance or economy, so I have been using 95 for the last few years.  I have never hit 6.0L/100km, but have returned mid to high 6 on the highway.  Being a hybrid, fuel economy is a lot more dependant on how you drive it.  At 110km/h, mine never goes into EV mode on the highway, so returns closer to 7.5L/100. urban driving can return low 8s if you are careful or over 10 if you are a bit more enthusiastic on the throttle.
    • About a quarter of what you want to do. It's only R7R, not R&dismantle&replaceparts&reassemble&R. ? It is stock. I already told you, you will NOT have broken those. It's f**king 4th gear for Christ's sake. You just chipped the teeth off.
