anyone here need there guards rolled? Getting my hand on a guard roller next week to roll chad's and possibly my car. If i do a good job on my car, would anyone been keen to get there guards rolled?

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.

    • It's the same with many brands that find their way into promotion via Youtube channel sponsorships. Those stainless guys, e-mail cut shippit, various other service and product companies.... they try to make it so that the only name that comes to mind when you think of doing those things is them, and then you just go get their stuff because your favourite channels are using it, so it must be good AND good value. Notwithstanding that the YT'ers don't pay anything for it. But a lot of people are not that sophisticated.
    • Yeh vibrant looks a bit overpriced, but thats the US market in general, they pay $50k for a gtst...
    • It's surprising you say this because talking to someone who headed Toyota's CARB certification efforts and was now working for Mercedes doing similar things he said he never had a case where he found that it was necessary to reduce ignition timing for that reason. Knock limits yes, but never because of in-cylinder emissions profile. I'm guessing between EGR and the number of TWCs modern cars stack in series it's not really a problem. I really doubt the NEO is that big a difference. You get what, EV6 injectors, coil on plug, a cold start valve that works off coolant temp instead of basically fixed time constant valve, and... I really can't think of anything else. Not like Toyota where they shipped first gen GDI in the 2JZ-FSE.  Something I didn't realize is that Japan didn't revise their emissions standards for light duty passenger cars between 1978 and 2000. I'm guessing there's a bit of phase-in, but that explains why 2002 killed a bunch of JDM sports cars off all at once. FD3S, A80, S15, Z32, R34, Z15A GTO all died off for that reason. And explains how all these cars got away with no EGR or much of anything other than a TWC and charcoal canister for the longest time.
    • 100% agree. Best bet on an RB will be NEO, but even it will be a long way off. Emissions is one of the big reasons car manufacturers went to DBW and constantly variable cams. When cruising, open the throttle right up, but reduce dynamic compression so low, that it's basically an unrestricted air pump moving very little air.
