Hey guys,

Just wondering if anyone has some coilpacks i could borrow to test out if my problem is indeed my coilpacks.

It's a series 1.5 so I would be looking for series 2 coilpacks, and if it is my coilpacks i'll go out and buy some splitfires.

I just want to avoid buying them if i don't need them.

I'm in the camberwell, ashburton area and would only need them for a night.

Thanks guys.

ah damn i threw my coil packs for my seris two last week lol.

easy fix for you to test your coil packs is gake em out. give it a good clean and hit it with a thick coat of clear nail polish or some kind of silicon sealant. that will patch up any cracks your have on your coil packs as a temp fix and prrevent arking. if that fixes your problem then your coil packs are faulty

What is the problem?

usually to diagnose you simply unplug each one @ idle. If the idle does not change, that is the dead pack as it should change if you unplug a good one :thumbsup:

Or you talking slight miss under load type of thing?

I probably should've explained myself a little better.

I have another thread with an outline of the problem here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ca...29#entry4803129

Basically the car wont start and i've checked a lot of stuff. I think it's actually the ignition module inside the coil pack as apose to a crack in the coil pack.

When i tested it it would get an intimitant spark but was not very strong. Also the car would just about fire but not quite.

So i pretty much jsut want to see what happens when i just some new coil packs in with fresh ignition modules and hopefully that will solve it..

Thanks for any help guys.

Also pull your Coil Pack harness out and check it for any splits, mine had a few splits in it which was causing it to die under load at random times. Pulled the harness out and grabbed the Nitto and taped the whole harness. This fixed the issue instantly. Also check out teh eart on your battery, may be lose or shitty cable.

    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
