Splitfire Coilpack Compatibility

Hi all,

I bought a set of SplitFire coils from an online auction that were advertised only as R34.

To my dismay when they arrived I saw the list of models printed on the back of the box and mine wasn't there.

My car is an R34 RB25DE Neo.

The coils I got were SF-DIS-005.

On the back of the box the Skyline models listed are:

ER33, ECR33 RB25DE

ER33, ECR33 RB25DET

BNR34 RB26DETT

After checking online it looks like the ones I need are SF-DIS-008.

So, I emailed the guy to try and get a refund and he says they should work ok in my car and told me to try them.

I prefer not to pull my car apart for nothing and hope that someone on here can answer the question for me.

Will they work ?

Doesn't the R33 have a separate ignitor, and the R34 not ?

thanks in advance

Andrew

Splitfire make a different model for a reason. They definitely are not all the same.

You are correct though you need the 008's. I would say you dont want to take second best and to send the correct model!

I think the difference between series 1 and 2 coils in R33s was that the series two has on ignitor seperate where as series one was built in

series 1.5 and 2 r33s have the ignitor in the coils, series 1 has a seperate ignitor.

I have just replaced the coil packs on my RB25De Neo I bought SF-DIS-008 from Access Autowork in Melbourne they were the cheepest & their delivery was fantastic as I am on the Central Coast of NSW [took 2 working days]. I found them on the classified section of this forum. They cost $615 + $15 postage, cheeper than out of Sydney. The SF-DIS-008's are also used in GTT's & Stagea's so dont worry if it says RB25DeT Neo they are the same

Correct about the igniters. I have one R33 coilpack in mine at the moment, temporary bandaid fix till I get splitfires (which are on the way). It's been temporarily mounted as well, think the bolts lined up differently or something, but they work.

s1.533, It's only coilpack number 3 that's been temporarily replaced, I think my tuner fitted it with a washer or something to hold it in, just for me to be able to keep driving. Been going a few weeks liek that now lol

How much does he want for the splitfires? If it's significantly cheaper you could probably give them a go At the end they're splitfires so they're going to be a good brand of coilpack. If it's only a saving of say $50 or less, then if it were me I'd just buy new ones.

performance-wise has some really good coils that suit the S1 RB25DE and I think they will have some more to suit the S2 RB25DE soon aswell.

Theres more info on them here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Co...80&start=80

Ive had these in my S1 RB25DET for a couple of weeks now and they work a treat. Only cost me $350 posted, brand new and with 6 month warranty.

      33 GTR Broken front wheel knuckle

      By R32 TT · Posted

      Just had this happen to me too.  R32 GTR.   Also broke "just before going out onto the track" - someone up there is looking out for us... Very scary since I was about to do a narrow street course with zero run-off and curbs everywhere. Many people on here upgrading to billet uprights and R35 bearings?   Or buying new OEM knuckles?  I am not keen to replace with another s/h 30 year old fatigued part.

      Coolant leak?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Top off with distilled water and see what happens. If you keep losing coolant then you know to start looking.

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
