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??

    • Why are people so insistent on making dirty water?!
    • Fark what are the changes of that snapping like that, clean. Nek minnit, custom radiator goes in, with built in oil cooler like those discontinued PWR ones from yesterdeacades ago
    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
