hey all

i think my ignitor in my s13 is dead cant find 1 anyway so is there any after maket item that can go in it place or can it be changed to ran with out it or dose anyone have

SAU was a good forum to ask about a silvia engine :(

maybe find someone who has the same engine and ask if you can swap it.

what is the issue?

Might be a silly question but have you spun the CAS by hand and checked that the plugs are firing? (IE seen the plug fire a spark?)

Also can you hear the injectors ticking away (again spinning the CAS by hand.)

If its been two years since running you may want to check that the fuel rail is not gummed up, can you smell fuel in the cylinders / coming out of the exhaust?

That is where I always start with these sort of issues >_<

oh im in Brissy so coming around and grabbing one to borrow isnt really an option ha ha

if you go looking to buy one you will find that s13 and s14 have the same part number ignitor so that might widen your choices!

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
