Okay, I am sure this has been covered, but I searched it and came up with nothing. Have had two coils let go so far and am thinking that second hand they are to untrustworthy and genuine they are too pricey when I know that they will let go again. The car has been sold (to my mother, I am gelous) but I am still looking after it for her (read also driving for now) what coils are good and what are they generally worth? The car is not likely to get any more boost or mods.

if your looking to replace just the broken coils...then maybe ask ur local nissan dealer for the original coils..otherwise if ur looking to buy a set of 6...then get the pricing from nissan and compare with a set of brand new splitfires afaik the splitfires are a better choice in terms of reliability and price

I'd try the diy section on how to mend broken coils first...with any luck it may just be a minor crack as what happened to mine...cost me $20 to repair and my car now idles smoothly and can hold 10psi boost without any dramas.

afaik splitfires are exactly the same as OEM but cheaper by the half dozen if you use any of the SAU sponsors rather than a nissan dealer.

Not 100% correct there.

Splitfires are blue, OEM are black. The blue color makes them give more power, remember :P

Seriously, they are the same as OEM, just fark loads cheaper.

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      By djr81 · Posted

      So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By djr81 · Posted

      Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
