HI

Anyone with a S2 R33 and splitfires, WITH A MULTIMETER, got to their splitfire coils and do a resistance reading between the ground, center plug and the LH one when looking at the coil, for the coil. ALSO tell me what the mulitmeter was set at? i have 20, 200, 2000, 20k, 200k, and 2000k ohms.

I tested mine and i get 1600ohms, when the mulitmeter is set to 2000ohm reading. The AUTO electritian told me it has to be 0.9 ohms, and that is near imposible.

This is to do with my other thread, i can't seam to fix my car. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=151261

Because you have a series 2, the coils on your car differ greatly from an older car's coil. Yours has the transistor drive built into the coil package, whereas the earlier engines had a seperate transistor pack.

On the older, seperate transistor, coil engines the reading on the primary side should be about 0.9Ω.

On your car you are trying to read through the transistor as well as the coil winding, so your reading will be a lot different.

Use your diode test on your meter, and go between pins 1 and 2, both ways round. Compare the reading you get with the other 5 coils. See wether there is a variation between the set.

Hope that helps at all.

James.

Sorry to dig up an old thread like this but i am also keen on knowing this!

I have a similar problem. I just want to know whether the reading should be between .6-.9ohms.. can anyone confirm??

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
