Please can anyone help? I own a 97 Skyline GTR that is running on 5 cylinders most of the time. I have taken the car to Nissan and they have replaced the plugs and number two cylinder coil pack, and the problem is still there. Nissan can’t find the problem and they can’t find anyone that will look at the car either. I think it has something to do with the electronics but not sure. It runs like crap nearly all the time now, but if I put it under a little boost while its cold it runs normal till it warms up then runs crap again. If anyone has any ideas on how to help it would be greatly appreciated. Cheers

Rotate the *new* coil pack and see if the missing cylinder moves. If it does they've replaced the wrong one.

Alternatively pull the plugs and see which is fouled.

Could be any number of things - plugs incorrectly gapped, igniter (if R33 have them vs R34 with built in igniter into coil), dodgy coil-to-igniter loom...

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
