Payment cleared yesterday, sent yesterday, received today, can't describe how impressed I am with the turn-over time. Can't wait to install them tomorrow and will hopefully (fingers crossed) be writing very positive feedback sometime this week.

Cheers!!

This.

Also want to say a massive thanks to you, as now i have my car for the long weekend !

& for saving me $600 on my mechanic's price for OEM nissan items !

Yoyo

I sent a email using your website but i thought i would post in here aswell.

I bought some coil packs for my r34 in september, and 1 has failed on me.

Was wondering what i can do to get it replaced?

im running a stock coilpack in place of it at the moment.

Hi Paul, regretfully one of my spit fire coils has died. I realise my warranty period has expired as I purchased them three years to the day.... In saying that my car has had limited Km's on them 9523 km's to be exact. I would hope they should last a lot longer than that! Up until now these have performed beautifully every bit as good as the pricier (competitors name withheld)ones I was tempted to purchase initially.

My car is a Nissan Turbo Stagea 04/97 model, rock stock & never been boosted /raced etc....I will if requested send the dead unit to you for R&D or clarification.

Hopefully you could arrange some sort of refund/exchange or discount on a replacement of this failed unit as I would hate to have to go with another brand.

Sorry for the long post & hope to here favourable feed back from you or your customer service dept.

Cheers Shane

Hi Paul, you might not necessarily be the best person to ask as you are selling the product ;) , but i was wondering what are the symptoms of needing the coils replaced? My 97 R33 GTS-T in certain situations is having a problem with jerky acceleration. I particularly notice it in 3rd gear going up a hill about 55-60km/h and trying to gently accelerate. Sorta feels like the car is pulling back if that makes sense.

My mechanic said he suspects the coils, as they have done a number of other things to try and fix it, with it only partly improving.

Appreciate your thoughts?

Thanks

Heres a check list which should help:

- Ensure that the coils are mounted and plugged in properly and the rubber boots are seated correctly.

- Check the springs inside the coils are contacting with the plugs correctly.

- Wiring loom may be faulty,

- Spark Plugs may need replacing.

- CAS (crank angle sensor) may be faulty,

If it is a faulty coil then heres a way of testing them:

Keep the car idling and disconnect the coil packs 1 by 1. When there's no noticable change with a particular one unplugged, you've possibly found the faulty one.

Now swap it with a known working coil then go back and try the above method again. If the same coil pack is missing, you've confirmed it's dodgy,

If you have noticed slight improvements when trying to fix the coils then I suspect that it is your coils.

Hope this info helps.

Thanks mate, that is indeed helpful. Will give it a go, and let you know if i need to buy some new ones off ya.

Just put an order through for a set for R33 series 2 :cheers:

Thanks very much. I will express post them out to you first thing tomorrow morning. :cheers:

    • I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....
    • So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.
    • our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
    • What are we supposed to be seeing in the photo of the steering angle sensor? The outer housing doesn't turn, right? All the action is on the inside. The real test here is whether or not your car has had the steering put back together by a butcher. When the steering is centred (and we're not caring about the wheel too much here, we're talking about the front wheels, parallel, facing front) then you should have an absolutely even number of turns from centre to left lock and centre to right lock. If there is any difference at all then perhaps the thing has been put back together wrongly, either the steering wheel put on one spline (or more!) off, and the alignment bodged to straighteb the wheel, or the opposite where something silly was done underneath and the wheel put back on crooked to compensate. Nut there isn't actually much evidence that you have such a problem anyway. It is something you can easily measure and test for to find out though. My money is still on the HICAS CU not driving the PS solenoid with the proper PWM signal required to lighten the load at lower speed. If it were me, I would be putting either a multimeter or oscilloscope onto the solenoid terminals and taking it for a drive, looking for the voltage to change. The PWM signal is 0v, 12V, 0V, 12v with ...obviously...modulated pulse width. You should see that as an average voltage somewhere between 0V and 12V, and it should vary with speed. An handheld oscilloscope would be the better tool for this, because they are definitely good enough but there's no telling if any cheap shit multimeter that people have lying around are good enough. You can also directly interfere with the solenoid. If you wire up a little voltage divider with variable resistor on it, and hook the PS solenoid direct to 12V through that, you can manually adjust the voltage to the solenoid and you should be able to make it go ligheter and heavier. If you cannot, then the problem is either the solenoid itself dead, or your description of the steering being "tight" (which I have just been assuming you mean "heavy") could be that you have a mechanical problem in the steering and there is heaps of resistance to movement.
    • Little update  I have shimmed the solenoid on the rack today following Keep it Reets video on YouTube. However my steering is still tight. I have this showing on Nisscan, my steering angle sensor was the closest to 0 degrees (I could get it to 0 degrees by small little tweaks, but the angle was way off centre? I can't figure this out for the life of me. I get no faults through Nisscan.
