Hi there ,

I took off the cover and blah :D

How can you have a harness looking like a dogs breakfast.

Anyway ,does anyone know what sort of products are available to prevent heat from getting

to the wires and do i take the black insulation off or wrap something around it.

Nissan obviously did not think we would see that crap.

Yeah put the plastic cover back on. Thats why its made out plastic. Ever wondered why nissan didnt make it a metal cover....?

Most people drive without it on, apparently this is to help the coils ,

Anyway still hasn't help me. But thanks for the comment... :unsure:

  • 2 weeks later...
cut holes in the cover to release the heat and mesh the holes over.....did mine and looks sweet! and gets rid of over heating on my spitfire coils!

Well then know one knows, ill have to get an auto elec. to work on it then.

Thanks for the replies though

Ya.. Mines aluminium...

so is mine.

u can get vented ones for about $120 if ur really keen. Or just leave it off. But with the S1s they have an igniter that sits on the cover so u will have to mount this somewhere...thats what I am doing sooner...or later

I took mine off yesterday after installing the splitfires - i'm not gonna let what happened to my stockies happen to them.

I took to the cover with a hacksaw, cut it off just infront of the ignitor so it sits in there fine and the 6th coil still gets pleanty of turbulent air for cooling.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
