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!

    • roof rail delete used to be a thing, they were made locally for a while too
    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
