Hey all, can anybody tell me a company that can provide me with new coils for my 1998 N/A r34, its one of the twin cam 2.5 liter ones...ive got the typical primary ignition fault 21 code and at least one of the factory coils are on their way out, would really like upgraded ones instead of the factory replacements...thanks!

Splitfire, Superspark or JustJap JJR.

I would highly recommend the Splitfires.

I haven't had experience with Superspark or JJR coilpacks, however, my tuner advised against them and to put my dollars into splitfires. Worth noting also that my tuner wasn't selling me the coilpacks either.

Check out the sponsors for pricing. The Japanese Yen isn't in our favour like it once was so expect to pay over $600 for a set.

I think I recall seeing a new coilpack on the market too, it's a yellow colour... once again I have no idea about these ones either.

I have half a set of OEM ~110,000km Coilpacks... 3 of them died in one night like dominoes mainly cause of the GReddy eDamage before I done the zener diode fix lol I just keep them as spares now.

The Splitfires are much stronger and are the most recommended coilpack for Skylines. R34's are known for coilpack failure once they reach a certain age, and are known to keep dying one by one after that. So do yourself a favour, do it once do it right, go the splitfires :D

If you really get stuck, R33 Series 2 coilpacks will work but the bolt holes don't line up, but if you can easily get hold of one they can be "made to fit" for a temporary fix till you can get hold of new ones... just ask my tuner :( Drove around like that for a while after the first coilpack fried, then thought meh I'll wait it out, and then lost the 3 in one night, car struggled to get onto the tilt-tray! Probably a god thing that I fixed the eDamage before getting splitfires though

Yeah sweet, thanks for the advice, looks like my exhaust upgrade will have wait a bit longer now! might as well replace all 6 and be done with it

depends where you buy from then nate.

eg: superspark doesn't provide it?

i know jjr direct ignition comes with 12 month warranty (which you cant beat for $399 + postage [on ebay for $399 with free delivery on special])

some local dealers of splitfire provide warranty also.

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      Nope.    Grab a varex and turn it down as you get close to home, win win?

      Quieter performance exhausts (or muffler add-on options)

      By f00stx · Posted

      So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks
