they dont actually hold the spark plugs in place but the coilpacks slip over the top of them, and theres a spring inside of the coilpack that touches the top of the spark plug. oh and if ya cant be bothered changing the coilpacks your self paul does a good price splitfires including installation :P

im not quite sure if autoworx will change the sparks as that is a owner maintenance thing, but ask him anyway :D

He said they are covered by warranty but I think I might get these aftermarket ones anyway. He said he can do splitfires for $650 (not sure if that includes install) and about 2 weeks to get from japan.. told him I can get em here for $565 and linked the page :P

It's a shame I only have $398 in the bank untill next thursday lol

Hi Guys

First post w00t

Purchased my R33 through AW as well about a month ago. Got the same problem and Paul told me it will most likely be the coilpacks.

They are getting me some splitfires in and Paul said it is covered by warranty. I'm also getting my spark plugs done at the same time.

hey skyryan.. just an opinion.. when i first got my r33 last year.. it was misfiring and sorta acted like a fuel cut.. there's 1 possibility.. the air filter needs to be cleaned or replaced.. mine was totally clogged up and i just took it out and blew it clean and it stopped the problem.. just a suggestion.. won't cost u any money to just take out the filter and give it a clean and see if it helps...

Hope this info helps,

Cheers,

Bernard

I just got the car from Autoworx about 2 months ago, ya reckon coilpacks come under warranty?

If the car is under warranty it is defiantly covered. We can also claim on the extended 3 year warranty if you got that with the car which will pretty much equal the cost of the warranty right there.

We usually have sets of splitfire coils in stock but were just out at the moment as they are so good , new batch is on its way right now.

You can supply your own of coarse and we can swap them over.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
