I'm hoping someone in Vic might have a coil pack resistor for an RB26 that I can borrow for 5 mins. The R is running on 5 cylinders atm.

Basically, i've narrowed it down to cylinder no 6 (unplug the lead to the coil pack and it idles/runs the same). I've changed the spark plugs (no change), bought new splitfires (no change, dammit!) and its still not right. Running a test light to the lead to no 6 coilpack it is getting power, but wouldnt register the triggering signal (terminal E on coilpack). So the way i figure it, it should be the module, or the coil pack wiring loom. It went from running perfectly when i parked it, to running on 5 the next time i started it (2 weeks later) and the only thing i did was disconnect/reconnect the battery in between.

I'm hoping someone can lend me one, plug it in for 2 seconds, if it runs on 6 cylinders i'll then go looking for one a wreckers and i've solved my dramas. I cant afford to buy one at a wrecker and for it to not fix the problem. Funds are too low to keep splashing cash.

If you can help at all it would appreciated.

Cheers

Did you test for continuity from the ignitor plug to the coilpack plug in the coilpack loom?

No I haven't, how do I check that? I'm a beginner at this sort of stuff.

Yeah RB20 one will be the same.

I have no idea whether E or (-) is the trigger (my guess would be (E)), but one of those should run to one of the wires at the front side of the ignitor. So just go through all 12 combinations with everything disconnected.

If you dont have continuity through one of the wires then theres a prob with the loom. If you do have continuity its either the ignitor, ECU loom, or ECU.

Thanks Mat, got a multi meter from one of the guys at work so i'll take a crack at it this weekend.

I've got an RB20 ignitor box but it doesnt look the same, if the connectors plug in do you do reckon its safe to give it a crack? I dont want to fry anything...

the part number you need is 22020-05U00 most likely the rb20 one will have a part number of 22020-05U10 but by the look of nissan fast some later model rd20det's came with the gtr module so you might get lucky, i would not use anything but the U00 one.

Spent the last hour or so with the multi meter on the GTR.

There was continuity on all the wires on the loom from the module to the coil packs, so that loom is ruled out. Cylinder 6 gave all the same responses as the other working cylinders.

I unplugged the Power FC and tested continuity from the terminals from the ECU connnector (using R33 GTR ECU pinout diagram) cylinders 1-6 to the loom that plugs into the coil module. Again all was good.

I plugged in the old standard Nissan ECU (i'm supprised that it ran at all with bigger afm's and injectors!) and it still wont fire on cylinder 6.

So the ECU is sending the signal, the main loom is sending it to the connector at the back of the coil module, and the loom on the other half of the module is ending it to the coilpack. That leaves (from what I can tell) just the module itself. Its getting orders from the ECU but not sending it on the coil no 6.

The RB20 module I had looked the same, but the connectors were different (the plastic guides, pins looked the same) so i couldnt test with it. So i might just bite the bullet and buy one from a wreckers and hope that the process of elimination was correct :P

The only other option if its not the module, it it could be injector no 6 (Nismo's I bought new and have only been in the car for 2 - 3 thousand kilometers) or the the signal going goin to it.....

I'll try to totally rule out ignition issues then move on to the injectors next.

what about the coil its self?

Try swapping it with another cylinder, if the cylinder you swapped it with is then not firing then its the coil pack.

I bought a set of brand new Splitfire coils and fitted them, no diffence at all, definitely not the coils.

And I havent done a comp test because I cant see how i could blow a piston/ring when starting at car. It was perfect the last time i drove it when it was parked. On startup the next time, she was running on 5 cylinders. I cant see how it could have mechanincally failed so bad. If electrics arent to blame then youre right, i'll give it a comp test to check if its all good.

Thanks for all the help and suggestions guys, keep them comin!

Found out what was actually causing the car to run rough. Turns out the inlet manifold gasket had let go into cylinder no6.

Never heard of that happening before, i expected it to be electrical or fuel related, oh well at least its running again. I finally get to drive it after about 3 months...... Cant wait :huh:

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

      But first....while I was there, I also swapped across the centre console box for the other style where the AV inputs don't intrude into the (very limited !) space.  Part# was 96926-4GA0A, 284H3-4GA0B, 284H3-4GA0A. (I've already swapped the top 12v socket for a USB bulkhead in this pic, it fit the hole without modification:) Basically to do the console you need to remove the DS and PS side console trim (they slide up and back, held in by clips only) Then remove the back half of the console top trim with the cupholders, pops up, all clips again but be careful at the front as it is pretty flimsy. Then slide the shifter boot down, remove the spring clip, loose it forever somewhere in the car the pull the shift knob off. Remove the tiny plastic piece on DS near "P" and use something thin and long (most screwdrivers won't fit) to push down the interlock and put the shifter down in D for space. There is one screw at the front, then the shifter surround and ashtray lift up. There are 3 or 4 plugs underneath and it is off. Next is the rear cover of the centre console; you need to open the console lid, pop off the trim covering the lid hinge and undo the 2rd screw from the driver's side (the rest all need to come out later so you can do them all now and remove the lid) Then the rear cover unclips (6 clips), start at the top with a trim tool pulling backwards. Once it is off there are 2 screws facing rearwards to remove (need a short phillips for these) and you are done with the rear of the console. There are 4 plugs at the A/V box to unclip Then there are 2 screws at the front of the console, and 2 clips (pull up and back) and the console will come out.

      So, a bit of a side trip, but one that might be interesting for people with JDM cars and japanese head units. I know @Pac previously posted about a carplay/android auto adapter he installed which used the AUX input, and @V35_Paul put in one of the Tesla style units that replace both screens. The option I went with was a Lsait LLT-YF-VER5.87_2 (https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8GB-Android-Multimedia-Interface-for_1601187633672.html). Price was $1,150 for a single unit although they are much cheaper if you are willing to buy 2....$857ea. Make you you get the version 2 not version 1, it is faster and has a better UI - this is the manufacturer listing: http://www.lsailt.com/product/348.html. BTW if you've never bought from Alibaba before, don't be concerned....these guys can't stay in business unless they are responsive, ship fast etc, they were excellent (probably faster shipping than most local places) So, this was my task for a lazy Sat afternoon....looks complex but was all done in a few hours (it probably helps that I had some of it apart before so it was a bit familiar). I also decided to add a HD USB drive recorded at the same time and the unit also supports an aftermarket reverse cam (if you don't want to retain factory) and also AV in and HDMI out It looks much worse than it is, in fact in was genuinely all plug and play (no custom wiring at all). This video was pretty good (skipped a few steps), unfortunately they are an Aussie seller but no longer sell this unit (I guess Carplay/AA adapters are easier to install and much cheaper) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T5hJfYOB8Dg

      Nissan fuga 450gt android screen

      That still isn't a lot to go on. I don't have a Y50 Fuga Head Unit wiring diagram. I can say that a lot of nissans of that age shared head unit plugs, so if you are in Australia something like this would probably help: https://aerpro.com/app091# You plug that into the car loom, then either plug the head unit ISO into that (if it has ISO), or you buy and ISO adapter harness that you wire in. Bit of stuffing around, but once you have ISO its easy to change things in future.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.
