3 hours is a hell of a time estimate for changing a set of coil packs - 3 hours! It might take that long if you did the whole job with your tongue.

About 20mins if that.

$100?! to change coilpacks jeez some mechanic

splitfire coilpacks sit ontop of your sparkplugs.

Just take off the cover in the middle of your engine bay, pull out the black coilpacks and replace with the new blue ones.

Only issue is just moving the cross-over pipe but thats no trouble at all

This is where i got the 3hr estimate, but i have a feeling that part where hes holding the Smirnoff may have impacted the time taken!

if I can do it with my shagged knees, 2m tall bending over bonnet, then anyone can

do it yourself, beer and cone break, and it'll be sweet

worth putting on too, nice product the Splitfires

It is a good 1 and half hours with 34's as i have already had to do it twice.

It is easy, just take yourtime and you will be fine.

Cross over pipe and everything has to come off you will see. A job worth doing but a pain in the behind. lol

The cross-over pipe does add a few extra minutes - my original 20min estimate didn't account for the cross-over pipe as I no longer have to deal with one. Just one of the bonuses of a forward facing plenum. However, I still think removing the coil packs and replacing them is a simple 20-30min job.

If I had never done it before and was using this thread for assistance, it would probably take me an extra 5mins.... spent watching rad32's avatar.

hope ur splitfires r good mate!! ENJOY!!! :P

was a pleasure helping u out and great bloke!

Big up to u mate,

thanx again for not only a speedy & efficient job but also meeting one of many top South Aussies from the forum :P

How much did you pay for your Spit Fires, and where from?

I'll be after a set soon, mine are starting to breakdown and i cbf trying to patch them up.

Access Autoworx in the trader section, think it was $520 delivered...wont find it cheaper trust me!

EDIT- Due to crappy yen & markets they're now $615, boy im glad i bought them 2weeks ago :D

Edited by YDUTRY4

yep and last night i sent him a pm saying i want some for $520 before he raised the price. (must of changed it as soon as i said i want them) then now he didnt reply back to my pm and has changed the price.

will leave bad trader rating.

    • You Gregged a whole racetrack!?
    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
