Hi all,

I just have a very quick question. Can the factory coil packs from a R33 GTST S1 be used in a GTR of the same year? I ask because the ones in my GTR are stuffed but I still have my old ones from my GTST.

I know that the Splitfire coil packs are the same for both the 26 and 25 of certain year models so I'm just curious if this is the same case for the factory items.

Please advise. I'm thinking that they probably won't be ideal but will get the car from A to B?????

PS - this is just temporary, I hope to get splitfires in the very near future.

I believe so. Series 2 and R34 gtr are the same, so it stands to reason that the S1 and R32/r33 are also the same.

Are your coil packs breaking down and arcing everywhere but in the plug? Try your plug gaps at 0.7mm.

Thanks Vspec, well it won't hurt to try. I've been told that there is a miss under load at high rpm on the dyno. He had a set of Splitfires there and they made it go away so it's been isolated to the coils.

I've been getting the E11 tuned in over the past week and there were some dramas with the turbo....my mechanic was sold a crap one (he bought it on behalf of me through his supplier)....my GT3582 had a ford XR6 cartridge inside with damaged exhaust wheel and other signs that it wasn't brand new, so it's been sent back. It still worked, but who'd want a exhaust wheel that looks like this? (I'll load up photos tomorrow)....and besides, I payed for a NEW turbo not a second hand pieced together one. So, come Tuesday, I should have a "real" GT35 without a old second hand cartridge in it and also, I'll be trying the 0.63 housing while it's apart so stay tuned for that as well.

I guess I'm lucky I didn't sell my spare coils then ;-) See how they go. I wish I didn't sell my Splitfires.

    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
