I'd imagine most heat into the manifold would be conducted via the block, and as such there aren't many options for keeping it cool. If your going for an aftermarket plenum then the thinwalled ones(Subzero style) would have less latent heat and cool much quicker.

yer Adam - although this time it's a coil pack.

Given that the wiring harness is also very brittle I suspect that the R did some sustained hard work (ie high engine temps for long periods) in Japland. Finding race harness bolts behind the driver's seat supports this theory.

I'm looking into some Spitfire coils ATM, and plan to keep the center cover off for cooling.

Gav, another thought on cooling the coil packs that I've seen done on an RB25 is to keep the centre cover on, but cut some vent holes in them and stick some painted wire mesh to the underside. The one I saw looked very slick an almost factory. Pretty sure is was on a Silvia featured in one of the recent HPI magazines (with a red R34 GT-R on the front). Will see if I can dig it out and scan in.

Given that the original coils are now 10 years old (and as I said suspected that they had a hard life), I'd be happy to get 10 years out of a replacement set.

Does anyone have information on the Splitfire coils for the GTR?

Are these a straight plug in replacement that uses factory harness connectors, exciter etc?

There isn't a lot of information around on the GT-R SplitFire coilpacks. They're assumed to be a fairly rare item. They are however a plug-and-pray item. Saw a set installed into Jeff's S15 in about 10mins.

Cheers

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.

      No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.

      Can you mount the ATTESA pump in other locations?

      Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
