I'm told by someone doing other work on my car that I'm in need of these. Rough idle apparently.

Let's start at the beginning. What EXACTLY do coil packs do?

What might I expect by way of symptoms if they need replacing?

What brands are recommended? I note JJR, Splitfire, and OEM Nissan seem to be the range. What are tired and tested? What is the go?

Do I need to go to the dyno once they're fitted?

What else do I need to know?

Thanks.

Coil packs make the spark that ignites the air fuel mix in your engines' cylinders.

If you suffer from missfires, miss at idle etc, usually people replace spark plugs first and regap to 0.8mm.

If the coilpacks are definitely stuffed or failing, (getting old now!) usually a new set is the answer.

Most people swear by splitfires, and they have come down in price too.

I run them and have had no problems since.

You don't need a dyno tune, they just bolt staight in.

Hope some of this is useful.

Cheers

Great thanks. Re the plugs. Mine are new as of 8000km ago, but the coil packs are original (120***kms). What are the chances it's the plugs versus the coils? I'll ask the same question of the guy who reckons it's the coil packs.

Thanks Sean.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
