hi all

my engine light came on the other day, but went away next time i drove the car

then came back, then went away

i think it's now here to stay

so i pulled the code ( http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Ex...p;hl=paper+clip ) and it came up 21 = ignition system

that's an issue with coil packs, right?

i have read through:

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Co...ml&hl=coils

but i have a few questions:

1) if i'm running stock everything, should i be OK to grab a set of second hand stockies?

2) if not, how do i tell which one(s) is faulty? pull the rocker/coil cover and diconnect 1 by 1. if the idle doesn't change, then that one is faulty?

3) most importantly, how do i change the coil packs? is it a pretty easy DIY? i've got limited knowledge and tools :laugh:

4) if i go new, what's the latest and greatest? Splitfires still? JJR? other? are they still ~ $500-600?

thanks guys

I wouldn't be replacing my coils on the strength of the warning light - I would expect some concrete defficiency to make itself known first.

Second hand stockers should be fine but i haven't seen any good way to test them. It should be possible to build some kind of a test rig but its beyond my electrical skills.

The Yellowjackets seem to be as good as the Splitfires but the red ones are allegedly inferior.

R34 GTT Neo are the same

doesn't list R34 GTT either :ninja:

hmmm, might get the car checked out then instead of blindly replacing the coils

cheers

I got Splitfire from a ebay trader for $550, it solved my sluggishness, gave me a huge power boost and stopped a slight shudder. (also cleaned the injectors)

The Splitfire model number for the RB25Neo is "008"

Now i can floor my accelerator with ease!

    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
