Hey all,

Have a problem with my engine shutting down during normal driving, i took it to get looked at and they said that the ignitor module was failing when it got too hot. It was a cool days when i got the car looked at and using a heat gun they heated up the area on the rocker cover where the module is, took it out for a spin and it shut down. Today, its fairly warm and the car did it twice on the way back home.

I was quoted a substantial amoutn of money to source and replace this module.

Can anyone confirm the diagnosis of the mechanic with my symptoms? And if so, what about the replacement of this unit? Anyone got one they would like to sell?

if the ignitor is faulty, because its a seperate transistor for each coil, its unlikely the entire lot will stop firing, more then likely it will develop a miss on one cylinder.

if the entire cars stops and wont start until it cools, i would be looking strongly at the crank angle sensor myself. once you lose your crank signal, you lose injection and spark to every cylinder.

You should be able to pick up a good second hand ignitor module for around $100. I am also pretty sure you can source them from the Z32 300zx.

It also helps if you tell people what car you drive because some of them are different.

      Rb25det timing belt position on cam gear

      By drifter17a 路 Posted

      I just changed the timing belt on my RB25DET NEO and wanted to get some opinions. I鈥檝e been super cautious, did a lot of research, and took my time. I鈥檝e driven the car, and it runs fine. After warming it up, I revved it to 8000 RPM a few times鈥攏o issues, everything held up.   After the drive, I heard a noise that I think is either the clutch or possibly a tight accessory belt. It鈥檚 not constant, just comes and goes.   I took the timing cover off to double-check everything:   Belt is on properly, Tensioner is tight, Did the 90-degree twist test鈥攂elt isn鈥檛 too tight or too loose.     What still worries me is that I noticed the belt seems to sit a little toward the front edge of the gears, especially on the idler pulley. It even looks like it鈥檚 slightly coming off the edge there. Is that normal?   My old belt (5 years old, ~3,000 miles) also showed a bit of wear on that same edge, so maybe it鈥檚 just how it sits? I鈥檓 probably overthinking this, but since it鈥檚 my first time doing this on a NEO and the engine is forged, I really don鈥檛 want to mess anything up.   Also, I鈥檓 thinking of swapping to a clear front timing cover with the glass window. Would you recommend NITO or HPI? HPI looks reputable and their covers have 2.5mm thickness, but not sure if there鈥檚 a real difference between the two.   Any advice or reassurance would be much appreciated!

      Powder coat on mating surface

      By GTSBoy 路 Posted

      40 grit sounds about right, to start. You make some decent cuts/damage in the coating with that, then rapdily scale up to maybe 80 and 120 for the bulk of the actual removal, then fine it off to 180 or 240 perhaps. No need to go any finer than that, and maybe no need to go even as fine as that. Wrap it on a big block and have at it. At least on the hub face.

      Hiya!

      Do the GKTech rear lower control arm mount relocation, and either alloy subframe inserts or very stiff subframe bushes. Traction is going to be at a premium!

      Hello,   My name if Frederick, i'm 30 years old and I live in Belgium, Europe! I used to have a Nissan 370z daily but since I got a company car I turned that into my seattime driftcar. About 3 years ago I also wanted something older with more feel, so I got an R32 GTST with an rb26 engine. I am now getting the rb built to have around 800hp and it's close to being finished. I'm very excited for how it will drive and how driveable it will be! Regards, Fred!

      ENR34 - Inner Tie Rod is unique part! Replacement?

      By AdiR34 路 Posted

      Appreciate the insight! Talked to some local folks and they basically told me "it's not that deep." As long as the threading on the inside matches what's at the steering rack, everything else can be constructed-to-fit. There are full aftermarket kits I can use - probably better for my car overall since it's lowered.  Example: GKTech M14 Super Adjustable Inner Tie Rod Set - Nissan Skyline R32 R33 R33, 240SX, 300ZX, 350Z / Infiniti G35 M14I-TROD-2 gktM145-TROD gktM14I-TROD - Concept Z Performance (These can be packaged with their "high misalignment" tie rod ends).
