well after buying more coil pack, it was time to move on to something else so this is what i did. i got a six pack coil off a ford EDIS setup and rewired my coil pack harness and wala no more coil packs. this is only been on for a week still running it to see if there is and future problems, but right now it runs like new.

here is a link to my site Warning tons of pics NO MORE COIL PACKS :laugh::):D:)

hay budy i was looking at the same setup for my R33, how does it wokr, ok. I have a S2, so i needed to buy a whole heap of crap, and all up close to $350, so i am now loking at selling it all and going to splitfires.

Is this setup worth it?

yes and it only cost me $30 bucks if you can get me a pick of you igniter box i can help you make one for your car

the problem i have is i have to convert my engine S2 looom to accept a S1 ignitor and all the other wires, i don't want to cut the loom as i can always go back to standard, and each plug, i need 3, is $30, ne leads, new coils, I am talking all new prices.

Thank God someone has finally come up with this great idea!

I had BIG dramas trying to pin point the stuffed coil pack a few months ago.

Every time the coil started to play up i would pull over turn car off and attempt to pull all the stuff off like cooler piping etc then it would run fine Grrrrrrr. Took my 3 months of drivingit around running great till it warmed up. Such a pain in the ass!

Might have to give this a go :wub:

So now instead of just coil packs to cause you problems you now have 12 high voltage connections, 6 of which are totally exposed to under bonnet contamination. Plus the spark plugs are no longer sealed with means corrosion betweeen the steel spark plug body and the alloy cylinder head.

I give it a few months before you have even more problems. Probably faster if it rains.

D cheers :wub:

just for the coil you can from auto part store for like $90 get it for a SC Thunderbird find me a good pinout of your pack harness and ill help you figure it out you shouldnt have to convert back to S1

well most people here run with out the cover to begain with and i will take the 12 High voltage Connections over one bad coil pack anyday

I fitted splitfires to my R33 yesterday, i can run higher boost now without the flat spots at 4500 rpm now it revs all the way to 7000 without a cough n fart. I have also been using NGK bcpr6 copper plugs at 0.8 gap. I found that all the stock coilpacks were shorting through the plastic jacket, you could see the burn marks obviously. Its just a pitty splitfires are so stuffen exspensive.

    • 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 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
