Hey well my car stalled on the weekend and didnt want to start. Ran consult diagnositcs and it came up with "ignition fault" or something like that. Before it seemed to be revvin all over the place. It was in neutral and still revs were jumpin from 400 - 1100 on idle and then it stalled and did not want to start again

I have checked coil packs and they seem ok and even if 1 coil pack went im sure the car would still start jus sound like a WRX

Cant be spark plugs as they r only 3000km old after the rebuild

So im guessin its the ignition module.

Its for an R33 GTST Series 1, which other model cars will fit on my car eg will 32 GTR fit, etc ??? Is there a way to check if its the ignition module eg run a current through it or something ???

Any help would be appreicated thanx

Cant be certain but I expect an ignition module off a an RB26 will only be fit for purpose on an RB26 eng.

The R33 GTST will only suit the same engine/ignition module.

I priced a new one recently for $670 from Nissan. With second hand you will get what you pay for.

But before you go paying cash use the process of elimination sourcing the loan of parts from freinds.

The guys on here could probably give you a step by step elimination list.

Yeh tried to get ones off mates and no luck, most hav got S2 R33's. So i bit the bullet and got a 2nd ignition module for $120. Engine still wont start usin a multimeter we discovered that my old ignition module had the same resistance as the new one i bought. So now im under the impression that the ECU has fried itself. Stoopid auto ecu. But yeh gotta find one and test it out

    • I'm going to slap an old nismo logo sticker on my spare one and sell it to the land of the free for a thousand bucks
    • lol, probably should have read further!
    • Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4
    • I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
