Hello,

Recently had a Rocker Cover leak and changed over the gaskets. While doing this i thought it'd be a good time to change the coilpacks and spark plugs, as they were highly fragile and covered in oil from the leak.

After having to replace the original wires leading from the packs to the box (because they were rooted and seemed to have a different plug than the aftermarket ones) i found that the plug was also different that connects to the ignition box.

Having found that the wires are exact same colouration as the stock plug i just swapped plugs over making sure not to mix up any wires. This hasn't seemed to have work as when going to start the car up it seems to have its ignition out of cycle.

Anyone delt with this before or changed to aftermarket coilpacks that can help me out.

Thanks dewa32

Note: Pic comparing plugs is comparing the 6 pin to the 7 pin and not the one i've spliced.

Series 1 Cefiro use a unique ignition loom (inc ignition module itself)

Series 2 and 3 used the same loom as R32 Skylines.

You can buy both types of loom for the Cefiro new via Nissan.

S1

S2 onwards

I recall splitfire not having a listing that matched S1 Cefiro, so you'd need to get an R32 ignition module??, R32 loom, and coilpacks suit R32.

Quiet often, an R32 motor is chucked in, still using the Cefiro loom, plugs, ECU etc. That's how mine was anyway, when my coilpacks went it got a bit tricky - just wired up 32 plug to engine loom, and used complete R32 coilpack setup,.

Car is a 1991 Nissan Cefiro Series 1 by the look of the lights and grill. Which came from the factory with Rb20det. Car has not received any mods apart from r34 smic, pod filter and now the new coilpacks and has not been tampered with in regards to Loom changes (by the look of things)

With what you've writen there nic, I just have to get an r32 ignition module, and plug then rewire the loom side to the r32 plug?? Coilpacks are new, but were fitted to an RB20 in a s13 with r32 loom.

Cheers :)

1991 is Series 2, so that's weird.

Biggest give away. Is your AFM an R32 one (green label, J60) or square plug (purple label, N60)

And yes, get an R32 module and the plug for the engine loom side, and wire that into your engine loom. Essentially, ECU Loom->R32 Plug->R32 Ignition Module->R32 Subloom->R32 Coilpacks.

true, well its got the series 1 gear, Also its a 'Special Edition' no idea what that means but could be the difference.

AFM is a purple label N60.

Will that need changing also or am i good just to replace loom and ignition module, as i already have subloom and coilpacks.

And do i need the whole loom or can i get away with splicing the r32 plug up to ceffy loom?

Thanks heaps Nic_A31 :)

Afm plug is fine. N60 is a better Afm which the series 1 have.

Best bet would be a new coilpack loom. The heat makes them brittle and breakdown, so a new loom will definately help and be less probs down the track.

hey mate, i have just got a new coilpack loom thats no problem. MY problem is wiring the loom side up to thing, Can a A31 ceffy loom be wire for wire spliced into r32 plug then into r32 module?

Sorry about all the questions but yeah stuff me why nissan made the silver top run on s13 / r31 coilpacks other than the normal silver top plugs :S

mate went colour to colour and when i tried to turn her on it cranks over but sits really low revs and sounds like its not firing properly, When i put the throttle down too it doesnt rev up or anything also. all wires have been colour matched and plugged into the r32 module. What the hell ? :S

firing order is out a little or major misfire (by what it sounds like) It didn't die in idle, and i also checked the ignitor pack for heat because i thought i got the wiring for it was wrong but it didnt get hot, and all wires are colour to colour :S

Do you still think it could be the ignitor pack?

That being said it was only on for abour 30-40 seconds

Try again for 2 mins and try another module. Also check the ground wires

Had a look at the cefiro coilpack loom and the r32 loom, and found out they had different colours going to different coilpacks. Had to swap green and blue, and white and yellow and redid all the grounds and she turns over no problem... So weird, Even they were matched colour to colour, plug for plug, there was still differences in Coilpack Looms :S. Tsk tsk Nissan. Cheers for all the help Nic_A31

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
