hey guys i just did a wasted spark conversion and it works great but between 5-7k revs it miss fires... <5k it runs better than the rb20 coils and above 7k it runs way better than normal, what do i do? should i just get new coils? (these are second hand coils.) the leads are brand new from the box and the spark plugs are still the same ones that were running fine before the conversion.

i am now using au falcon coils.

Rb20 needs 7000 rpm lol. Only good thing about them is the fact they rev so freely lol. And yes splitfires are a rip off. I could happily afford a set if I choose to but in many circumstances there is no need. Nissan coil packs do a f**ken good job to last as long as they do. I run nissan items on my track car. No aftermarket coil pack is gunna last 15 to 20 years imo

Going to do a wasted spark conversion soon if I dont sell the R33.... coilpacks are giving me the shits, i dont want to spend $400 to get new JJR ones, so will just run a VN coil pack setup.... then if 10psi wastegate goes ok with it ill upgrade to MSD units. Don't know why everyone isn't doing this, surely the MSD VN V6 packs have more oomph then the RB ones!

You installed a new ignition system (completely different to the factory setup) and now spark is breaking down... I would be inclined to REMOVE it all and go back to a stock setup.

My 30DET is running standard RB20 coils with no dramas.

The Neo in my Stagea is running Splitfires as standard neo coilpacks are notoriously dodgy, older RB coilpacks (RB20/26) are pretty damn good.

If you're having misfire issues with a standard setup then I would also be looking at the wiring harness. I was troubleshooting a serious spark breakdown issue when hot on my 30, went through a couple of sets of coils and ignitors before I figured out that it was the plugs on the harness falling apart that was the cause of the issue.

      When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?

      We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.

      No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
