Thanks.

So what exactly does it do?

Im looking at a motor that doesn't have this, is this bad.

Sorry for the stupid questions.

How much to replace? etc..

it gives spark to your coils, if it don't have this it wont run unless running a really good aftermarket computer that has this built into it.

Found this, it explained a fair bit.

My mate has a late series 2 skyline and his motor has the holes at the back of the cover where the module is suppose to be.(with brackets etc) he has the wires setup differently going across aswell. My 97 stagea has the unit and Im sure it has a S2 motor in it.

It doesnt seem to be doing much.

Is this ok. Should he go looking for a replacement?

no... I don't think so.

I'm Guessing your stag has an earlier model 33 RB25DET spec engine in it. (96 model?)

Most S1 Stag's have S2 R33 engines in them - which do not have an ignitor module seperate - it is built into the coilpacks.

If he has a series 2 R33 then he doesn;t need one... he should just have the holes

Check FAST for your relative part numbers - or alternatively.. ahve a search for Splitfires.. you will notice that there are different splitfire partcodes for different 33 spec RB25DET's... one for the old model and one for the new.

Yeah you are right mines a late 96 and he has a series 1 and should have one.

The reason I ask is when I looked at it after he got it back from a service it looked like it was missing.

There is still part of the support bracket on the module that is just hanging there! Dodgy!

I told him to get back to the mechanics and get it fitted back on properly, maybe somewhere else.

The car seems fine. Would this have done damage in the long run?

umm not really right....if its a S1 motor and the ignitor is missing it will not run at all. So if its runnign (even badly) its not the problem

This is what is missing. And is a R33 S1.

The car starts rough but still runs fine.

But they have done some extra wiring between, I will post a picture.

I suppose a Splitfire super direct ignition system would be of benefit (upgraded coilpacks and module),

but he has been quoted $120 from a wrecker replacement and $215 (genuine) new from;

Any input would be appreciated.

When my mate got his 100k service they had the cover off to replace plugs, seals, belts etc. The incompetent f*#ckers looked around the workshop this morning but couldn't find it and then put up the argument it wasn't there.

Makes me laugh, because from research and what people have told me it is a part which is needed for a series 1 because these are built in with the series 2. The bracket and whole black box isn't there. It looks like they bypassed the module and have joined two connectors across the cover. One of the modules support brackets and screw is still attached to the cover. It is evidence of it originally being there.

I reckon they were in a rush and forgot to put it back on and then lost it. The wiring loom setup looks different as well. The car always starts rough but then runs fine at idle and on the road. Would this cause any long term damage? Still the question remains-should he go and replace the igniter module or upgrade to a better direct ignition system? It seems a lot of people do this, especially close to the 100k service mark. RB coil packs seem to be trouble, causing loss of spark and misfire.

The reason I ask is I might look at doing this soon. Anyhow this is the wiring which seems to bypass the whole module-is this ok?

    • Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car

    • All my Polish car culture insight comes from watching Nightride. So I half expect this to get 1UZ swapped eventually?! Are you going to drive it in winter? I'm always curious how ATTESA would hold up in the snow. There isn't that much opportunity to try it in Australia.  
    • My steering lock unit on my Infiniti G37 has failed. The car is a local 2012 Infiniti G37 (Q60 ) I need to replace the unit My local mechanic said i need to buy a complete steering wheel assembly. Does anybody no any mechanics in Gold Coast or Brisbane who can fix this issue or where i can buy just the Steering lock control unit. Thanks
