ok got the price, your looking at about $185 but itll have to come from japan. we dont usually keep them in stock cuz not many people actually buys them but we do get a few sometimes and they have to order it as well.

the thing about the harness is that not many people actually pays much attention to it so when the car is misfiring and they do the usual checks like the coils, sparkplugs, igniter, you know the usual things but forgot about the wiring. the harness deteriorates overtime and become crispy and fall apart easily because of 19 years of exposure to heat. id recommend getting a harness when changing the coilpacks for a piece of mind so you dont have to take it all apart again.

Popping on WOT under boost MAY be detonation.

Considering your plugs etc are ok, and your spitfire coils are ok, the next place to be looking would be fuel.

On a side, it is a bit tough to say, and some people will get upset, but I have seen splitfire coilpacks out of the box that didnt provide spark as well as factory coils - rare, but it does happen.

Anyhoo, suggest you take it into Hyperdrive, or another REPUTABLE workshop and get them to check your air fuel mixtures (and fuel pressure) on the dyno ASAP. I have seen a few smashed engines due to fuel pumps getting tired, or injectors getting clogged (when was the last time you changed your fuel filter BTW? and when did you last clean your AFM?).

Please just get it checked out to make sure it's safe before you go experimenting - especially if you don't know for sure what it is - better safe than sorry IMO

Just get yourself an R33 series 1 turbo, and a stock ecu flash tune.

Whats that like $700 or less?

I dunno how much the R32 ECU retune costs. But a stock R33 turbo is about $300?

thats what im running and it goes sweet only cuts fuel at 15psi

A remapped 32 ecu? or a stock ecu?

You're looking about $800 to get your stock 32 ecu remapped, I have one running my RB30 w/ z32 afm and 550cc injectors, very good solution and if you *must* have readouts like with a PFC hand controller then get a carPC and datascan :ermm:

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
