hey guys was taking the coil packs out to change over plugs and while undoing the bolt for the third coil pack (from the front) the bolt snapped. to me that was strange cause the others came undid easy but this was was a pain then i realised that the third coil pack had a wrong type of bolt in it. (not done by me i just got the car so im assuming previous owner did it or someone). but now i have a broken bolt and to make matters worse on that coil pack both the bolts are wrong. so i tried to undi the other one as carefully as i could and that f**ker snapped aswell.

no i have no idea what to do. can anyone help please?

so the bolt head snapped off leaving part of the bolt stuck in the threads?

you can try a thing called an "easy out", i think you can get them from bunnings. you drill a small hole into the remaining part of the bolt, then screw in the "easy out" and that will grab onto the broken bolt and might undo it.

gotta hate threaded bolts how about re-threading a hole thats been cross threaded?

Running a tap through the hole is the best way to know its nice and straight.... usually its pretty easy to do, most of the time the thread goes good and not a lot of metal is shaved off by the tap...

Seen guys try and force the proper sized bolt back in, but its a hit or miss adventure and you may end up cross threading it again!

      Weird the Gktech one doesn't have the 3 holes and is only a 5min install if you have the standard front bar.

      Honestly, as someone on the standard PS4 controller, should be relatively easy to get gold. Remember you have more grip than you think.

      Fitted some Advan AD09s to try next. Likely slower than the CR-S but should work in the wet and last longer.   Off for alignment and the new plates worked a treat! I was finally able to hit both my drift and grip alignment targets with the same setup! Grip Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15° Rear: Total toe +3mm (1.5mm in each side) Camber -1.5° —————————————- Drift as above but drop the front sway bar and change the below. Front: Toe total -10mm(5mm out each side) Ackerman +5°

      @Duncan can you put the Link in, and measure all the power input voltages with a multimeter. Specifically looking for one that is low.   Then put the other ECU in that it runs on, and measure those voltages again with a multimeter?   If all of your voltages read normal on both ECUs, but the link is still reading low internally, your issue IS the LINK. If the voltages drop low on the multimeter while the Link is plugged in, but not other ECU, then the issue COULD be wiring in the car, or it COULD be the ECU. To rule out wiring, work out how with an ECU removed, you can trigger all the necessary relays, and then measure resistance from the pin that is reading low at the ECU, to the batteries positive power.   I have a sneaking suspicion your issue is the link, it's not reading the voltage properly, possibly a dry joint, or a Cap dieing, and because voltage is low, it's likely attempting to compensate on fuelling and the engine won't run.

      Hi there, Does anyone here have the carbonetics slam panel installed on their R34 GTT? Or used to have one and got some pics of how it sat? https://carbonetics.net/products/1999-2002-nissan-skyline-r34-gtt-cooling-slam-panel?srsltid=AfmBOoo6Uz0nuxGI3qC0sn56KJI6PMgh0OvV-pbegsPDHTtTxz4IMljc I’m just trying to get an idea of how they sit once installed but these guys have no pics.  biggest question I’m trying to figure out is what the hell the 3 holes at the front of the panel are 😂 and where they bolt    Thanks in advance
