I Have only changed them in my R33 Gts25t, but I would assume its the same process for changing them in a R34 Gtt. It is fairley straight forward. There is no re wiring needed. They should plug straight in. I believe I have a walkthrough some where or I have seen one. I will try find it.

I found this one. This is on a gtr but the process should be very similar for a R34 Gtt. Will just need to remove the cross over J Pipe. Also the R34 Gtt Rb25det uses different coils as they do not have a igniter box like the earlier rb25det's, rb20det's and rb26dett. So when you buy them just make sure you get the correct ones. The Splitfire coil packs do come with instructions but they are in Japanese. They do have pictures though which are easy enough to follow.

Mate I mean this in the politest way possible. If you have to ask about swapping coil packs then you shouldn't be swinging spanners on your car. I say this because it is one of the simplest things to do on a skyline. If you open your bonnet then it would be plain as daylight to see what you have to do. If you have to be walked through it, you are going to need someone to check it afterwards to make sure its reassembled correctly. As far as splitfires go I wouldn't waste my money if the car was to remain stock. If you intend to make a crazy, scary, don't lend this car to your mates kind of skyline then do get them but until then don't waste money. The oem parts will do fine for a completely stock car. If you are in the Perth region I'll come over with my tools and show you how to do it. For free.

honestly as long as you're careful, take your time, make note of stuff as you pull it off and store any nuts and bolts carefully (a, so you don't lose them and b, so they don't fall anywhere they can damage stuff) you'll be fine.

it's a pretty simple job. nothing wrong with being cautious but I say give it a go. you can always ask for help if it's not going right. :)

Don't worry about nathan he must be in a mood. Definately have a shot at changing coils, save ya self some cash.

Here is a link on changing plugs on an earlier RB25det from a R33 Changing plugs on RB25DET

Definitely go Splitfires too as discussed in your other thread. Not a waste like nathan says. Leaving your shagged coils in is a waste of money

You will have an engine cover and as said will not have ignitor module on top of coilpack cover as some earlier models have. In this tutorial I believe the coils are removed on their mounting bracket together. Instead or removing them all together you will find screws on the coil packs hoding them into the bracket. This way will be better for you. You could get some spark plugs for peace of mind and convenience while your doing coilpacks.

Bahaha. Thats right don't worry. I sound more cranky than I am. I'm not saying leave the stuffed coils in there. I'm just saying that splitfires are twice the cost of stock ones and if the original coils lasted 15 years then new stockers will last another 15 years. No doubt splitfire are better for high performance but simply aren't necessary for a completely stock car. Of course if money is no issue then get the splitfires. I agree with changing the plugs at the same time. I disagree with leaving the coil housings in there and swapping the coils individually. Way to fiddly and likely to drop the little screws in which case would have to remove the lot anyway. I recorded a youtube thingy in which I remove and replace the front 3 coils with one hand on the camera and one hand on the ratchet. I'll add it when its finished uploading. At the end of the day its just advice. You don't have to take it. devil.gif

just a tip, be VERY careful when you are removing the old coil packs and putting the new ones in, the little 8mm bolt can easily fall down and make its way into the timing cover from the back where the timing belt it, if that happens then you have NO choice but to pull appart the front of the engine to take it out, depending how far it goes down. Have seen this happen alot.

Also when you are putting the coil packs in, dont dive in and remove them all in one go, because they all sit a different way, (the plug for the coil loom sits facing the front of the car or the back of the car) disconnect one and make sure which way it goes put the new one in and plug it in, then move onto the next one.

this is not meant to scare you in anyway, just something to look out for so you dont get in trouble.

good luck

This is sound advice. They are good reasons to pull out the coil packs in their housings and do the front 3 one at a time then replace and the back 3 one at a time and replace. Can you imagine a little bolt poking through your timing belt? Yuk.

I am sure that if stockers were half the price of Splitfires there wouldn't be many splitfires sold. OEM coils from Nissan are over $1000 a set here. Can you point me to a good price source for OEM coils - even at the same price as Splitfires I would buy them.

Ok not quite double. The price has dropped a fair bit since I last checked.

Stock coils: http://www.ebay.com....5#ht_500wt_1156

Splitfires :http://www.ebay.com....#ht_2706wt_1139

EDIT: Splitfires aren't comparable to stock coils for price. They are better and cost more. Are you going to put $500 a tyre semislicks on your missus hyundai?

And why would you buy a stock coil for the same price as a splitfire coil? Thats like being offered $20 for free and $50 for free and taking the 20 cos you like the colour red.

Thanks for the link. I'll try to get me an OEM set.

Are you sure? There has been a lot of discussion about this over the years and there is no clear evidence that I have seen.

I'd like to make a bet that new coils OEM or Splitfires will produce the same results.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      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.

      R32 gtr transmission strength, billet plate

      By cosline · Posted

      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

      Spotted on the street....

      By Rezz · Posted

      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.
