hey all i have worked out that my r33 was cutting out randomly because of the earth wire that comes off my ignition or coil pack loom has heat damage and gone hard and stuffed, tried fixing it striped it back and reconnected it a few times but the wire is shaged .

can anybody give me suggestions on aftermarket or alternative setup eg totally different ignition coils and leads to plugs im not sure wats been done and what works best. im running 387hp so if there is a bit of an upgrade that would be great but im strugleing to justify 300+ dollars for nissan genuine loom thanks guys.

Nissan is best - its a 10-15yr old car so IMO its a worth $300

stock igniton/wiring systems are good for over 500rwhp/370rwkw (ive done it) so going with stock even if a little more expensive will ensure you have a faultless setup

Could go with an AU coilpack conversion mate?

S1 AU Coilpack, plug from the AU coilpack, 6 HT leads to suit, with spark plug fittings on end.

Ensures the coilpack is kept away from heat and leads are more reliable.

Bit of a write up here -

why change the factory setup? its proven and reliable. it's lasted decades. did you 100% figure out it was the earth wire or was it your coils?

heaps of high HP cars running splitfires with factory looms.

yea with the car running i wiggled the earth and it cut out tried many times and same thing every time i wiggled it so no doubt it was earth wire.

yea i think ur right about standard i was just curious before i spent the 300 to see if there was anything better for the buck but doesnt seem like there is much ill keep the splitfires and standard loom i think.

    • Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.
    • At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
    • Thanks MBS206, i got that PDF but got abit overhelm with all the connections and tracing of wires. I wasn't expecting to plug the dash harness anywhere. i was just going to use my electronics jumper wires to plug into the right pins like ECU power, ecu ground, ignition trigger etc... I do have a few ratchet straps locking it down tight. Fire extinguisher ready and only a small amount of fuel at a time, enough to submerge the pump.
    • Thanks GTSBoy, i will do abit more digging. I am missing a blue relay near the ECU connector... so i will chase that up in the next few days as well  
    • https://yariksteel.ru/manual/R33/Skyline_R33_elektroprovodka.pdf   Page 18 should be what you want for the Dash Cluster wiring. Though, you don't need the dash plugged in to get the motor running. What you want is power as how GTSBoy said. You need to power the ECU. Find in the above link the ECU pin outs (Verify them before just connecting them up from things written on the internet). Find anything needing power, give it power, find anything needing ground, give it ground. Then give the starter motor power through a big cable, and bridge the solenoid on the starter straight to power too.  ECU will be on, and when you give the starter power, it'll spin the starter motor, and it should start. I also hope you have a proper stand, and not just the engine sitting on some wood. You will want it bolted down properly.
