Me; I've bought two extra coilpacks and switched them around all over the place in an attempt to eliminate the sporadic 5 cylinders of doom issue...no avail...it's gotta be in the wiring or injectors. Have ordered a brand new coilpack look from Perth for $120 - apparently this is a common point of failure in the R33.

inb4 birds defending the honour of el cheapo coil packs

The only cheap coilpacks I happily defend are YJs. Have personally run them back to back with Splitfires and there is no difference. Spent my $200 saving on blackjack and hookers.

Haha replacing is not fun when there is 6 god damned coil packs to replace :P

Unbolt the bracket from the car, unbolt em from bracket 1 by 1 and replace. Tis like 10 minutes jeez. :P

I've got a set of Supersparks I got brand in a box when I bought my car from previous owner. They've got maybe 30-40k on them now and every single one has burnt marks on the outside of them either on the boots or on the coilpack body itself.

Check the loom plug, both ends. Make sure the wire is terminated into the plug firmly.

I've had this issue before and it was just a loose wire in the back of the harness side plug.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
