Series One Or Two!?!?!?!

[bilbo117]

Hey guys...

Im in a little bit of a dilemna. i need to know how to tell for sure that my engine is a series one motor.

I have a 94 model r33 gtst, and ordered myself some splitfire coilpacks a couple of months ago.

anyhow, upon receiving them, and for the first time looking for my igniter pack... i realised i dont have one....

This would usually be a sure sign its a series 2 right? I never thought 94 models come with series 2 motors but?

The coilpacks look exactly the same as the ones in there now so i dont really understand why the wouldnt work?

Thanks for your time guys,

EDIT: Pictures added below

Cheers.

it could just be that the coils had been changed to series 2 coils.

the easiest way to tell the difference in the motors is the TPS. if it is rectangular and only has 1 plug then it is a series 1. if it has a rounder TPS and has 2 plug (only 1 may be hooked up) then it is a series 2.

You can also check with the AFM as well. If the sticker on it is pink than its a series 2 . I dont think there interchangeble between motors???

The series 1.5 also uses blue stickered 3 pin afm...

Series 2 coil packs have the ignitor on them which you can tell by the addition of a step on the series 2 coils that has IB G +1 on them like in this picture i took

The Series 1 coils do not have this step as the ignitor is on the engines valley cover.

If your car is a 94 model then you should require Series 1 coils with model number SF-DIS-001

As Series 2 coils were only put on cars after January 1995 on the late model series 1.5 model number SF-DIS-005

Hey guys

Series 1.5

The coils you have in the engine at the moment appear to be series 2 coils that have the ignitor on board the coilpack.

Pretty rare that they are in a skyline so early.

This is more than likely why you were sent series 1 coils.

Do the current coils have a carbon rod inside instead of the little copper coil like the splitfires do? As these were the transition between the 2.

The splitfires you have are series 1 coils and will not work.

You can see in picture 2 that the coil has the added step.

You will require SF-DIS-005

You mean where the coil contacts onto the plug??? if so, then mine has the similar coil contact to the splitfire plug, the copper looking one.

Big thanks for your help mate.

ok, now you sorted that out, I have a question. where are the coilpacks? how do i take em out? I'd like to have a look at the condition of them. sorry to hijcack and be a n00b..

The condition of them cant really be seen.

The only indication really is mechanical like small misfires etc or on the coilpacks themselves there will be a whitish burning on the sides.

This usually comes well and truely after they are stuffed and your having huge misfire problems and changing plugs every 500 kays wondering whats going on

If you still have the black plug cover on that says "nissan twin cam" etc remove that and the coils and spark plugs will be under that. You will have to undo the intake pipe and twist it up so you can get the plug cover off. I have done it with out adjusting the intake pipe and it was a nightmare.
