The coils are not what is gapped. Those are the plugs.

To replace coils.

- Remove coil cover (and piping if needed)

- Unscrew coils

- Take out coils

- Put new coils in

- Put coil cover back on

Its pretty straight forward

i was also unsure what to gap the plugs to with new spitfires. i put my down very low at 0.7mm but i had changed 3 sets of skyline plugs in 1 week and did not want to do any again! i havent had a problem buti wonder how they would go at 1.0 or 1.1mm. i'll find out in a few thousand km's when i change plugs again and leave them more open

my adivice = leave them at 1.0mm unless you really cant be arsed changing plugs, cause they can be a pain :thumbsup:

thanks guys, umm....well i just opened the pack, and theres 6 separate coils, and not 2 sets of 3 coils like the one under the cover....does it matter which order these new splitfire coils go in?,or are they all the same, and just have to be rotated to match the original base???

You have 6 plugs, therefore 6 coils.

Surely you noticed this when changing the plugs?

Doesnt matter what order they go in. You'll see there are not actually a "set" as such. They are just screwed into a frame which holds them in place

lol true, but coils are pretty easy. Just screw out the old one and put in the new ones.

Re plug gaps, run the biggest gap you can without it missfiring :P With the new coils you should be able to run a bigger gap

    • KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.
    • Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.
    • Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
    • There's not a great deal to report here .... except ...... FOR .... LSD!!!  I bought a Quaife LSD from the UK and shipped it here .... Wish I'd just bought locally cause the shipping and duty was $700! But there were so many diffs used in the E90s I just wanted to be absolutely certain I was getting the right one so I spoke with a supplier in the UK who builds race cars and they have heaps of experience with the E90s.  I pulled the diff out which was seriously awesome - I've never done anything like that before, I must have watched 1000 videos on YT about it as well as consulting the Bentley manual. It was super easy in the end. The diff was delivered to the awesome folks at Hornsby Diffs and will be back in a few weeks. I also replaced the diff bushings with some Nolathane ones.  Really looking forward to getting it back and getting back to the track or even the skidpan.
    • yeah... the 13kg/mm springs weren't always in there, I had 10kg/mm but doing a few SMSP commanded heavier front springs. It's so good now going into T1 and T2, just need more seat time and real tyres.
