Istartfires Posted February 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Gee trev lol. I'll try the above suggestions. I am not a mechanic and have so far only ever changed Leeds and spark plugs on a car my whole life. Sorry I didn't expect to have any trouble wen I bought the car and am just looking for help from people I trust and thus far respect. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GJM85 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Check the f@$king coil packs, why lay out coin for them to probably tell you it is the same thing, sorry but I don't know why people buy cars that they don't research on, splitfire coils for a NEO can be had for under $750, if it is the coils then drive it nicely until you can buy some. Yeah coil packs...... a f@$king waste of money.... you'll get a corolla for that! The pack in my Astra set me back $650. I want to burn the world and then i'll ride naked ladies to town and back.

Scott_87 Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 Lol I'm sorry you may get a Carolla for that, but the power out of a rb25de-t I'm assuming s##ts all them. Best thing to do mate is jump on www.skylinesaustralia.com the guys the like here love there cars to a great deal and could give you some ideas on what it could be.

altezzaclub Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 The pack in my Astra set me back $650 I wish! Altezza coils are $350 EACH! Hope I never need one! Fires, this problem is way too modern for guys on here like me- injection, computers, coil packs, electronic distributors, variable valve timing.... All too complicated! A 4K is a great way to start learning about cars! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the stagea guys is gonna give me a hand. If it's coils I hope my warranty will cover it. Plus they said sometimes the importers put the wrong plugs and shit in, so hope it ain't too bad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkidzMgee Posted February 6, 2011 Report Share Posted February 6, 2011 If it gets up to 5K then starts to sputter and such, the previous boys are correct in assuming its ignition, and most likely your coilpacks, or plugs, or some shitty broken leads or something. Start with the plugs and check the gap, to .7 like recommended before, then maybe invest in some new leads if the current ones look faulty, then worry about your coils if it comes too that. Good thign about going this way is you know your plugs and leads aren't at fault, and it stops shops charging you for wasted labour you put in yourself. Dunno where you live, but if a proper tune isn't on the cards, maybe even just a service from people who you know have worked on an RB25 Neo before. Might be an issue he's worked on before and could fix it same day or quicker than you think. Or do it the Rolla way, and give it a crack yourself ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trev Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 If the plugs are shit then put BCPR6ES's in it, used to put them in all the RB's at work and had them on the dyno with the plug and never had a problem. http://cgi.ebay.com.au/SPLITFIRE-COIL-PACKS-STAGEA-RB25-NEO-R34-GTT-turbo-/260675158822?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item3cb1734326 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkidzMgee Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 Or if you want to, I recall seeing that code down at SuperCheap Auto when I was looking for Charade plugs. BCPR6ES should be in a Sprints/Supercheap or your local auto retailer. Might pay to ring first if you can be bothered :laff: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ke70dave Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 does sound like spark related. just buy cheap copper plugs too, apparnetly they work better than the fancy ones, just don't last as long. make sure you gap them properly. does it do it if you rev it up using minimal throttle? or only when you give it the beans.

Istartfires Posted February 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 (edited) It seems to be only on heavy throttle. I'm gonna try the plugs first then see what happens. I'll pass the suggestion about the plugs on to the guy that's helping me on Thursday. it's all so different to a 4k, like seeing a vagina for the first time, you know it could be fun but your not quite sure how to play with it yet lol Edited February 7, 2011 by Istartfires Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott_87 Posted February 7, 2011 Report Share Posted February 7, 2011 check plugs first and replace cheap and easy. Next could be coil packs hard to check unless you can borrow off some1 to check, could also be fuel pump. Bosch 040 should do ya plenty. Also make sure you run these on 98 fuel as if its just a recent import asian fuel is a shit load better then any of ours. As previously stated though the guys on SAU (Skylines Australia) in either the stagae section (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/forum/82-stagea-discussion/) or in the technical section (http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/forum/8-forced-induction-performance/) will be able to help out.

Next could be coil packs hard to check unless you can borrow off some1 to check. Wrap the coils up in electrical tape and then try it. Quite easy actually...

Trev Posted February 13, 2011 Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Did you sort this out Steve? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Istartfires Posted February 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 13, 2011 Changed plugs, no change. It did idle fine but then went back to a little off. I'm taking it to the importer this week. I will be making sure they check my coils. It ran fine the other day/ power all the what through the rev range but then did it again. It has a dump back exhaust and a pod on a stock tune, I was wondering If that would make a difference because the boost might be a bit higher?
