In terms of checking them, somewhere dark/nighttime is best and you would normally see them arc out on to the engine....

Other than that do you run std boost? Checked/changed plugs recently?

also its really hard to start, like it takes 10 goes to get it running and when it fires it splutters for couple seconds then runs idles fine?

Edited by andyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

check the spark plugs as well. pull them out, look at the colouring as well as get a feeler gauge to measure the gap. also inspect the coils for any signs or melting, etc (that's a sign they are arcing out). if they all seem fine then the issue may be fuel related and it might be worth putting the car on a dyno to get them to check the AFR's.

i put new plugs in today didnt change anything and coil packs look fine and i looked at them at night time and i didnt see anything arcing out.....

Just thought, maybe you have the ignitor separate from the coils??? If yes that could be faulty.....

yeah the rb20 has a seperate ignitor and they do cause problems that are the same symptoms as dodgy coils. one major advantage is that if you have a mate with a rb20 or s1 rb25 then you can swap them over to try in just a few mins (much easier than swapping coils)

true, i just need a mate with a rb20 :D, so u also think it would be the coil packs that is making it not want to start straight away when its cold? takes a couple of gose to get it to fire up

yer fix it completely now i cleaned my AFM and it was covered in oil......

if that helped then it means that your coils are stuffed. new coils should make it a lot better.

    • See, that button sounds like perfection Duncan! My eyes really don't like light shining at them from a dash when I'm driving. Being part red colourblind, I've found for most cars that I can change colours on, I set everything to red, so my eyes see the elast amount of colour! I miss normal gauges in cars
    • bro, knowing the Japanese in  the 90's, i wouldn't be surprised if they shared components across their model lineup.
    • Maaaan so many "little" things  i rly hope my old RB20 would be "ok" and not too bad. I try to learn what and what not do i need. I look at crossmember at it looks different...even parts numbers are different. Wiring and all that i rly do not know...yeah someone mentioned the speedo thing. On that yoke clip. I rly do not know what can and cant be done "custom" so that is why iam asking to know and not be suprised 🙂  I know what it looks like  
    • Oh, there's also the gearbox crossmember which will probably be different between the small box and the big box, and the wiring loom will probably need to be modified, because the plugs for the switches etc, will probably be different. And I think the speedo on the small box R34s is from somwhere stupid, like the diff, possibly, so you'd need to work out what needs to be done about that (assuming it is different). I think the thing you need to realise is that the front end of that yoke is a large hollow tube with splines on the inside that mates with the splines on the box's output shaft. It is a dedicated thing - not available "aftermarket". They were made to suit that box, by the car's OEM.
