Ouch..!!

Maybe it is the "trigger" to the coil-pack that is holding current to the coil for too long.?

Saw it on a Trans-am last week. It was the module, which fried the coil pack at the same time.... Or Nissan DID get the right coil??

There the right coils... It may well be the trigger from the computer, they dont run an igniter like older skylines.. If it fries another one ill be taking it down the coast to use a mates oscillascope and comfirm it is the trigger.

If it is the trigger i pretty much have no clue where to go from there..

I think... it will be driven from the ECU, but not entirely sure tbh.

I have been looking at one prob on a Lexus, which has done the same, so we are borrowing a ECU to prove the point.

One note tho.. is that if the HT side is shorted to ground,, i.e. not got a gap to jump, it will fry the primary side.

The LT side runs usually around 0.7ohms, so current drain will be high. Have a look to see how much it is actually taking via a scope or decent DVM every pulse.

Well last night it started firing on 5 again so i headed to the workshop with my wanna be wrx and i got just round the corner again and it lost all power...

On further inspection it had blistered the side out of EVERY coil pack! Im thinking it has suffered from some sort of monumental ECU failure...

What to do next is a beyond me.. how to source a computer and then get someone to program it to match the BCM codes is a little beyond me and i think just about anyone else in AUS...

Im pretty much at a loss... thats 1200 dollars worth of coils in one go... not to mention the 4 ive already replaced... To say im not happy would be an understatement...

Does anyone do a full stand alone ECU for them? i could most probably by pass the BCM..

If not it may be V8 time...

Any suggestions??

I can probably get a hold of a TurboXS full replacement ECU. Apparantly it was running on my car before I brought it (to tune in the NOS) but at the moment I think its kicking around the garage. I could ask what my mate wants for it?

Mate that would be unreal if u could... i actually purchased one of ebay over a month ago, but it never arrived and im currently making a claim through paypal to try and get my money back... but yeah mate that would be awesome.

I got my mechanic to talk to Matty Spry from Pitts today (he tunes my race car), he said that S15's seem to suffer similar problems with a very similar coil... something to do with the dwell time being to long and over charging the coils.. solution he offered was to use some bosch style coils and wire in a igniter module of an earlier model skyline... but yeah i dunno...

Lars!! yeah mate im stoked it survived through skid pan!! its had coil dramas for probably 4 or 5 weeks now.. never killed them all at once though... has ur skid pan day been filled yet matey?

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
