Hey,

I have managed to locate some yellow jackets which are being sold second hand. Problem is the seller does not know whether they are S1 or S2? Does anyone know what to look for to tell the difference?

I noticed that my original coils have a tab on each side midway on the plug. The Yellows have one higher up. Does this help?

Cheers and thanks so much in advance,

L

Assuming these are pics of the actual coil packs. It looks like the S1 has the black mounting bracket all the way around. and the S2 does not.

Yep, series 2 have built in igniters so they only have the mounting bracket on the ends, not all the way around.

Thanks guys. Does anyone know if original R33GTST S2 coils also have 2 mounting brackets or do they have 4? I'm now confused as to which one mine is as I thought is was S1 but could be S2. Made in 04/95 with Type M kit.

You can tell if you have series 1 or series 2 by looking at the back of the rocker cover. If you have a black box on top of the cover with wires coming out of it, you have a series 1. If you don't have this black box, you have a series 2. Chances are if you car is 1995 it will be a series 1.5 which uses series 2 engine and therefore coilpacks.

    • Working through possible solutions of converting my mechanical speedo.    Anyone know what type of speedo sensor the factory r34 gtr getrag has ? what the output is ? I assume its not a VSS and more a voltage like earlier speedo sensors ? Can an ECU read it ?  
    • 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.
