Z32 300zx are the same as ceff

yeah we were told that the 300zx would fit put it on and no luck bu i put the different plugs on to suit and it wouldnt start. so i managed to find one of a red top rb20 which had a different plug pattern to the standard cefiro rb20 plugs but it matched the z32 plugs which i had just put on the car the car run for ten mintues with a back fire and the end of each fourstroke cylinder cycle (strange i know ) then put my hand on ingniter and its was F******* hot and then car shut down any possible sugesstions to what caused this obviously this ingniter pack is cooked now but why do i keep frying them :( please and thank yous

Might be the ignition loom between the ignition module and the coilpacks.

Because they're under that cover, and it gets hot, that loom becomes brittle and the wires crack.

You can buy them new from Nissan, or online from JustJap (they both have the Cefiro specific ones, as well as ones to suit later model Cefiro's, R32, etc)

Quick question, i know in s13's that had ca's/sr's stock in them, if you do an rb swap they will not read rpm? is this the same for c33's? Mine was originally a ca18i taxi ftmfw.

if i need one i'm guessing i'm looking for a cluster that come out of an rb bodied c33 yes?

when i got there it seemed odd

apparently its out of an s13. has 5 bolt shafts.

2 bolt diff cover plate.

    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no?
