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?

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
