Ill talk to him about it but i have not met the guy yet so i dont want to go around there asking the world he was nice enough to offer me to borrow a tool which i found extremely odd as my previous experance with forums and there users there full of douch bags i must say this one seems quiet a bit differant ive had some great responses and helpfull advice.

Cheers :)

superben is right.....

there is no way of testing the coilpacks under "high" boost.

you can swap one and try it, keep going until you find it. but more than likely, a few of them have deteriorated.

can't you test them with an oscilliscope?

I do. But Never used it on coils to inspect if they are faulty. I wouldn't think it would be easy to do. And it wouldn't show up if the coil is arcing out the side through a small crack or something.

Good way of ruining the oscilloscope I would say, unless you can isolate the probe somehow. (I wouldn't be trying it with mine) Still won't show up what's happening under boost without some ingenuity on the dyno.

I don't have RB coils here, but VQ coils don't seem to have any of these issues. ;) (I am running 30-40psi on my original coils) they could possibly work if you removed the ignitor. You would need to make up some new brackets though, and hope the dwell is ok with the stock computer.

the rb coils are awesome, but cos of nissan prices, they are usually the 20 year old originals... slap some new oem in and your laughing.

I was farting around last night with the shitta and discovered more than 1 air leak some of them i created when i decided to go 40psi using Scotts blanking tool as i poped a few hoses of however the factory blow of valve seems to leak at about 4psi so id say the spring is shagged ill make a braket up and try plumb in one i have sitting around its just a black plastic bosch unit cant remember where i got it but it held of on my old E15 to 20psi so should be good ill test again once i fit this or try and source another factory one as i do like a standard looking engine bay.

Cheers again to all of you for your help been very refreshing to get some decent answers with intelect behind them not just replace this that and the other.

Factory bov has a hole in it.that is probably what you heard leaking.

You can plug it up with a grub screw, but it can make the transition onto boost not as nice. Maybe plug it for the test and test drive, then remove once all good.

    • Starting with issues 1 - 5, we have already run into a problem...!  Issue #4 contained 2x front brake calipers, instead of 1 caliper and 1x steering knuckle. Will have to call DeAgostini on Monday to sort it out. Anyway here's some photos.  Issue #1 is the front bumper, headlights and number plate. Issue #2 is the front wheel (with "We produced with spartan air." text on the centre cap!) and tyre, the front lip spoiler and cylinder head cover with ignition coils under the centre cover... which will never be seen again. Issue #3 is the bonnet and cylinder head. Issue #4 is the front strut, brake disc (with laser etched metal discs) and brake caliper. I stopped here because of the issue with the missing steering knuckle.  Next update will be #5 - #10 in a few weeks.
    • DeAgostini is one of a few companies that release quite large (the largest commonly available size actually) 1/8 scale models in a series of weekly issues over 100 - 110 instalments.  They release different models for different markets and DeAgostini Japan have release the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo last month. I've made two of these 1/8 scale sized cars (one an R35 GT-R from 2012 - 2014, the other I'm just about halfway through, a BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the 2Fast 2Furious movie) so when this R32 was announced there was no way I could ignore it as it's my favourite out of all Nissans.  Each issue costs around $20 so it costs about $2.2K when completed. I suppose it is very expensive for what it is, but the quality and details are really very good, and there are many "gimmicks" like fully functioning exterior and interior lights operated with a remote control, working steering, all doors/bonnet/boot/fuel lid open and close, the side mirrors fold in and it even has a speaker for the engine revving sounds when you turn the lights on.  Each issue comes with a magazine that tells the story of the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo from the first design stages of the BNR32 to Group A homologation and the various racing version that were run in the Japanese Group A and JGTC, and Australian Group A.  So I plan to update the build in this thread 5 issues at a time.  https://deagostini.jp/r32/?srsltid=AfmBOooKjxDc4EUK2rmXqMBPgyHfFJ24s4oEPJBNpnF-lFlsRoW0PE6P
    • As per title.. has anyone used so far? Keen to hear results, comparisons. In the market for a new mani for my new turbo. Any issues cracking?
    • Re read everything that has been written about this in this thread.. Let us know if you're still confused.
    • This would be a new pump with new gears. I'm just unclear on whether it's a good idea to run more oil pump flow if you don't actually need said flow. Oil level is set a minute or so after shutting off a warm engine so wouldn't the high RPM oil level in the sump end up lower all things equal? Plan is OEM clearances, main concern in my mind is whether the OEM pump can keep up with the flow requirements of any additional oil coolers.
