Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Hey ppl, I haven't been on here in ages... Pretty much my Skyline has been in and out of morpowa with cooling and suspected coil issues.

Making me broke in other words. Cooling is all fixed but ever now and then it will drop the first cyl making it run on 5. Diognostic said something to do with ignition something... Has anyone had this problem?

Morpowa are looking more into it

. So... Anyone had this before?

Thanks SAU ;)

Would that make it do it all the time or now and then? Engine light comes on too...

They seem to think it could be from water and coolant getting in the coil...

It's a big job just to get to them on a non turbo.

if water or coolent is getting in there check for a split hose around the top of the motor. I found one in mine i had to replace it..

I had to take mine out roughly 3 times as i tryed new spark plugs and they didnt work, then i tried wrapping the coils in tape and that didnt work, then i put the splitfires in and that worked. Only takes me roughly 10mins to change the plugs/coils now.

Engine light might mean a loose connection somewhere, or could be the coils. Bad coils will make the car chug every now and then but sometime seem fine.

Engine light comes on whilst still running?

Misfiring really comes down to a few basics. It's either the spark plug itself, the coil, ignition amp, ECU issues, or any of the wiring and connections between the listed components. It's just a matter of working through each item and removing it from the equation until you pin point the problem.

I would start with identify which cylinder it's dropping and then go from there. If the plugs are all fresh and aren't being continually re-fouled then look at swapping the coil over from the cylinder that is dropping out and see if the problem follows - it might take a bit of time if the problem is intermittent (intermittent problems are a PITA).

Make sure you also clean the coils and the area in between the rocker covers and ensure they are all free from moisture. If moisture (from coolant or any other source) keeps appearing after you've cleaned it thoroughly then something is certainly amiss and it's not a coil problem!

I've got 6 factory RB25DET coils in perfect health sitting in my shed that can be used for testing purposes - unfortunately they probably won't help on a R34 RB25DE.

Good luck.

Yeah engine light comes on while it's running like that then goes off when it's back on 6.

The coolant issue was sorted with the new cooling system so I know how it could have got wet.

Morpowa said it's a big job to get to them? Taking off water lines and stuff... Like a 2 hour job.

I think it may be coils as luke said cos that's what it does... Sounds good for a Rex but when ppl see it's a skyline it's embarrasing!

Its not a 2hr job lol u dont need to take the inlet manifold off, just the throttle body and use a whole heap of sockets. If u get splitfires and need a hand yell out and i'll do it.

Mitch, maybe the guy who sold you the car blew the previous rb26, got a cheap half-cut, threw in that rb26 and then sold it to you?

Crazy stuff dude.

nah he went from an rb25det to this rb26dett

will hopefully know whats wrong with it tomorrow, id LOVE to buy an rb26 from an R34 gtr but that wont happen.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
