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.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
