The S2 coils have ignitor built in, you can use them, providing you use the S2 coil loom and make up a plug that converts form the S1 ecu to s2 coils. I am using a S1 ignitor on my S2 as i am using a wasted spark setup with some AU s1 coils from a falcon.

Sounds like a lot of work.

I've just found an article relating to my question. It is said that the S2 came out with better Ignition and ECU. Is it possible to just replace the ECU and COILS with S2 on an S1? Has this been done before? If so what advantages and disadvantages can one expect? The article also said that S2's have NEO HEADS for enviromental reasons and also increased performance. Will this be an issue if i change my S1 COILS and ECU with an S2 as my cylinder heads is not a neo? (Unless maybe i repalced my cylinder head with an S2 Neo.)

as far as i know the ecu in S1 and S2 is exactly the same. The S2 have the ignitor built into each coil, which couses grater spark, but they are still crap, mine are ded big time.

As for the head, i am 99% sure its thesaem as the last S1. I think there was some differance with teh early S1 but not sure.

It's no big deal making up the setup i am going for. It will give me dam strong spark, and hopefully fix some of my problems.

Im not sure what boost you are running but if you have ignition problems its probably due to the age of the coils, not the series. Or incorrect plug and gap. A new set of coils will be happy at 20psi+. Most aftermarket ECUs run the ignitors built in so they use series one coils. You can allways go to a MSD or CDI unit.

Im running 10.5psi on a stock S1 turbo, Iridium plugs with gaps set at .8mm and it misfires between 4000 to 5000 rpm. The car has ran 130+000. what would be the ideal ignition system for the car? and what does wasted spark mean? By the way the car is Automatic (By preference) looking into upgrading the torque converter into high stall torque converter and a shift kit.

Very easy fix, do a search for wasted spark, there is a main page there, all explained well.

http://www.trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/C...on-77431533.htm

But basicaly you change the system to fire two cylinders at once, 1 and 6 ect ect.

I'll check it out. thanks for that link 'WogsRus' ! but can u give a brief on that? what sort of benefits/ advantage and disadvantages are there when changing to such system?

main advantage is that the coil is wasy form the heat, and its just as strong if not a stronger spark, depending on what coil you use, then direct replacemnt splitfire coils. It cost about $100 for the coil, Au S1 is vest or VP commodore one. If you want to keep the original loom for the coils, a second hand one is about $30 use these to make the new loom. Custom leeds to suit length and tophat, $100 or $50 for generic ones to do best fit. Propably $10 for a custom bracket and your done. wire it all up and hay preston, new ignition, so thats about $250 at best, less then half that of splitfires.

As an advantage, if there is any fuel left in the syetm, on the exhaust stroke, the spark reignites the mixture, but this in reality doesn't happen as there is no fuel to burn, unless you have a problem. LOL.

So it mainly cost and efectivness. You can get this setup working for as little as $140 if you use secondhand parts. I have a S2 car so i need an ignitor aswell, and i am buying all new parts and all new connectors ect, and total cost is $300.

Are you sure Toffy, i was not aware that it is different at all.

The S1 has external ignitor and S2 has internal on coils, still same signal. Hence why a PFC is valid for all years of R33.

I thought S2 came out with an improved ignition module and ECU.

theres heaps of minor differences actually, the main one being the tps (s2 has 2 small boxes on the throttle body and s1 has only one), the pfc would have provisions for either i believe, but ive never used one so i couldnt tell ya :laugh:

yeah the S2 has two plugs on the TP but only uses one of them, the other is a blank, not connected, well it isn't in mine at all.

DAM IT i can get a mines ECU for buga all, but i don't want to see if it will work if it blows something up.

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      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.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      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)

      R33 persistent issues. P/steering and lag/misfire

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
