Now this is something else! Have got the answer that it does fit, or rather that someone used a R33 GTST S1 in his RB26 but...

It does seem like a GTR igniter pack would fit, since its the same connectors in both endes but as far as i've experienced the last couple of hours its only when turned the wrong way around!

The GTR igniter i recieved came with the cables for the coils. But now when im comparing the cables its seems like the GTR cables going from the igniter pack has got the same connector as the GTST cables going into the igniter pack from the main harness!

Also if someone could confirm this; the igniter pack shouldnt get hot whith the key in 'ON' position??

R33 GTST S1 coils are not compatible with the GTR ignitor pack as the ignitors I believe are in the coil for the GTR coils, but not in the GTST S1 - I would suggest the only way your mate has his work is to change the coilpacks to GTST models. I have the same in my 26/30 running my old RB25 ignitor, to save on changing the coilpack loom.

I can tell you first hand that this is wrong, im running R33 GTR coils in my S1 GTST and using the S1 GTST ignitor.

Can see the ignitor in both of these pics.

Thanks for the help!

Ye i thought it sounded a bit weird that i wouldnt be able to use the R32 GTR coils cause thats the part i was sure of!

Going to borrow a GTST S1 igniter today and see if i get a different result.

Now i've got some selfexperienced facts to add, just came from the garage, with a borrowed GTST S1 igniter and.... It started!

Not only that it started, its the first time the engine has EVER started since its my RB31/26DETT build, and now there a thick fumey fog surrounding the garage :P

So to put an end to this thread, the R32 GTR igniter pack does NOT co-op with R33 GTST S1 if its the GTST harnesses that are used.

You can carefully release the lock bar in both connectors, remove all the pins noting positioning in writing, and transfer the casings to the correct sides of the loom. One wire in the main loom then becomes redundant. I have this running on an RB26DETT engine in my R33 GTS-t. It's on Motec but that's by the by as far as the igniter wiring is concerned.

    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
    • You think its the AFM? I know its a common issues on R32s. I find it coincidental how this issue raised right after cleaning the fuel system. As everything except the fuel system was fine before. I tried running it with the IACV unplugged but did not notice a difference and still stalled. However, the RPM gauge is not in the cluster right now, so I will need to connect the laptop again and use Nistune to check the RPM. I will check this weekend.
