Just exactly where is (are) the igniter(s) in a Stagea?

At a recent cruise I noticed what appeared to be an igniter attached to the back of the spark plug/coil pack cover in some of the cars. Not sure if the were S1 or S2. Now I have an S1 and, the place where I have seen an igniter fixed on others, there are just some tapped holes. Following the

harness back does not lead me to an igniter. Is it correct to assume that my coil packs have igniters fitted? Do S1 come with a separate igniter or coil pack fitted. :D:P

S2 Igniters are built in to the coil pack. As far as I know, the S1 has a seperate igniter.

Not my S1...(which is a '96)

I thought that only the RB20's has a separate igniter pack, and all '25's had it as part of the coil.

Maybe I should FAST it...

Confusingly RB33 engines come in series 1 (with seperate igniters) and series 2 (without). I think all Stageas have either Series 2 engines (for Series I Stageas) or neo (for Series II Stageas) although tofurther complicate it late n/a series I Stageas have the (non turbo) neo engines.

I reckon that this explains it - my parents have a '93 R33 GTS25T. I'll get them to have a look.

*edit*

Yup, their '33 has an igniter pack, It might be worth checking the engine number on any Stag's you see with one. I would expect that some left over engine stock might have crept in the assembly line, but it's a bit of an 'if'.

y did you go looking for it anyway ? did you think your spark plugs were not going? do you even know what it does?

I was not really looking for mine, it was just that I saw one on a Stag.

The trouble I had, twice, was on a Suckeroo. And it seriously caused a lot of Effin trouble. Dealer price for one was $648. I was lucky, both times got one from wreckers for $100. On both occasions the misfiring caused break down of plug leads. Nice one $45 each.

I am well aware what an igniter does. And I also know they dont like water getting to them.

So now we know that,ostensibly, all Stags should have igniters in the coil packs. BUT

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
