Guide To Install Coilpacks

[Mattw_83]

Searching around but has been unsuccessful. In fact ive searched via google etc also elsewhere but no luck.

Any threads someone could point out for a guide to changing coilpacks?

Thought id give this a go, its annoying having to pay through the nose for what so many have suggested is a fairly simple job. Unfortunately my knowledge is limited.... clearly.

Any help or point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Matt

mate i just paid a bloke to do that not a week ago when it was serviced. Id like to give this a red hot go this time around...

remove cross over pipe to the throttle body, remove coil/spark plug cover. use a screwdriver/small socket set to undo the coil pack bolts. change them over and put it all back on.

do the above. when u take the coils out u will see that there all attached to 2 metal brackets. take them off the brackets and replace with new ones. easy.

and never again give ur car to a mechanic to change spark plugs or oil its easy and there are tutorials all over that will help and if u get stuck many ppl on sau will be willing to help so just ask

give ur self 2-3hr max because this is ur first time

totally agree with this. these forums are amazing, i changed my oil for the first time 2 days ago, no problems, following these instructions:

only a tiny bit different for the r34, couple of screws, and all was fine

these are good instructions for coil packs

step 5 is the most important.

for spark plugs, follow the one above, then just unscrew the plugs below the coil packs

important notes for the plugs: you'll need to have the right size socket for the plugs, its different to a camry (learned that the hard way) and be careful with screws if the engine is hot, its easy to mess them up.

and know what to use:

its always worth having a look through the reference guides in the forum stickys, and the facts/DIY forum

have fun, let us know how it goes

dunno if its mentioned in those but to remove the coil pack loom from the coilpacks i usually put a flat head screwdriver in the gap at the top, push the tab and twist the screwdriver to lever them apart gently. last thing you want to do is break an expensive coil pack loom from pulling too hard on the plugs

Thanks lads ive definately got enough here to have a proper informed shot at it tonight

Appreciate the response

just remember it can take some time. don't be like me and have the car in pieces as the sun goes down lol

For a first timer - it shouldnt take longer than an hour.

Next time after that probably 30mins should be about normal if you are taking your sweet time as well

[Mattw_83]

Thanks for all the input lads. Successful effort today took me an hour or so. Spot on there nismoid. Bloody good feeling sorting this out myself. completely sorted out the stutter... Rocker gaskets and brake pads next haha ) got some searching the forum to do tonight.

I've had a z32 ecu and nistune installed, I'm interested in acquiring the software if possible, hoping to learn a bit about the tuning process. I'm not 100% happy and believe a better result could be had ironing out the tune in normal driving conditions. Early days but it would interesting to have someone drive around and atleast be able to view what's happening with the maps in a live state??

Anyhow, thanks again for the replys gents
