my addvice is to dump the factory coils for a set of vn/vp or mitsubishi ones

i fitted a set of vp coils to an rb30 about a week ago and it was running fine till the fuel pump packed up

and today a fitted a set of Mitsubishi Diamante v6 coils to my rb20 and it ran mint started much quicker and ran smoother more tourque and it runs the same gapped sparks as the rb coils

What sort of power/boost are you making on these after market coils?

If its near stock or still stock turbo on measly 15psi boost then we can't tell if it will work once the combustion pressures are considerably higher.

+ the non-stock look. For $520 delivered splitfires are the way to go.

where abouts can u get em for $520? Autobarn almost called the medics when they told me a new set of spitfires would cost over $1500 (cause i wasn't expecting more than $500~$600).

i got the exact same problem as you guys. gotta get this fixed up soon :)

$520.

Buy from Nengun (~2-3week wait), Perfectrun (~7day wait). (Japan)

You'd have to be silly to buy from auto barn and the likes. If you must buy a set in Aus grab a set from Slide. He sells them for $589 + postage.

has anyone tried my fix at all?

i just bought myself some sandpaper whilst getting new spark plugs. there cleaned and all, just havent started the car. btw my coils are silver and it doesnt come up copper like yours..whats the go there? coilpacks themselves have already been sealed with that silicon 401 i did a while back as well. so will get back with results tomorrow.

no idea on why theyre different. could be a series 1.5 or 2 thing.

if yours is neither then i wouldnt have a clue mate :)

I have r33 GTS4 NON-TURBO and got a misfire as well, what should be the spark plug gap for my one? is it still 0.8mm?

ive got no idea about the n/a's mate. do a search in naturally aspirated performance.

Pulled my coils out and they look brand new but i still have a miss!

your plugs look pretty shagged mate. close your gap to .8 and throw some new ones in.

Pics arnt very good, they are gapped to .8 and only recently put in, but was missing before they went in anyway

does the rubber boot connecting to spark plug just pull off?

i had the missing problem 2 at 4500rpm and did the whole tape em up trick and u beauty, not a problem!

in the last couple of weeks, since we have had this hot weather, one coil seems 2 be playing up when the car is at peak operating temp

u will be driving, and all of a sudden it feels it drops a cylinder

u put ur foot flat 2 the floor and it clears it self up, and then when at normal revs u can hear the miss again

by looking at the coil there are a few hairline cracks but ive already taped them and still doin it when at normal operating temp?? any1 had this drama??

    • 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!
