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=

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
