I tried to save money as well and use the VN coils. Was to date the biggest headache I have had with the car (RB20). Not exaggerating, I melted at least 8 sets and the problem was still not found. Not to mention other little things like cross tracking, the longer leads having less power etc.

In the end we decided to give one set of AU coils a chance before rewiring and going to the splitfires. They have not missed a beat yet but in hindsight I wish I had got the splitfires.

If you are running ~1bar or more just go the splitfires and save yourself the drama.

I have tried using bosch coils and it was an expensive and fruitless exercise.

Splitfires = ~$550 delivered from perfectrun.com.au - not a miss in sight since I installed them.

I did the wiring myself with the Bosch coils, but still by the time you add it all up (coils = 6 x $60 + leads ~$40 + wire and connectors ~ $30 + whatever your time is worth) it ALMOST works out cheaper for Splitfires.

Add to that you don't have to find somewhere the mount the f**kers in the engine bay......go the Splitfires!

i have seen this done, the thread was on r31skyline forum.

or look here

MEC717 Bosch coils but they need 3.5ms charge time and many ECUs cant do that and if your ECU can your Nissan module wont last.

Splitfires cant be beat.

So does that GDZ1LA setup run the MEC717 Bosch coils???

No it doesn't.

If anyone wants 6 Bosch MEC717's at a HEAVILY discounted price, see my for sale thread here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...opic=110727&hl=

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
