are you using the ignitor module or are you earth the coils straight from the computer

There is no earth from the computer to the packs, the two wires from the computer are power and pulse the earth is on the packs. Where is the ignitor module located, I was led to believe that the LTX12 controlled all of that.

yes i know that there is not individual earths ect what i should have said was are you still using a nissan ignitor module or is the computer pulsing the coils for you????

The computer pulses the coils or is meant too, the thing is i have pulse up to the packs but no spark at the plugs, plugs are all fine, and I thought I may have wired somthing wrong somewhere.

The packs themselves have three wires earth, power and pulse the microtech LTX12 has one main power wire and individual pulse wires(one wire for each pack) but no earth. I have wired the earth to the body but to no avail and because it is an engine conversion can't look for ignitor, even though the comp is meant do all that.

Any and all ideas are welcome because I go home and try them all out.

found a diagram of the LTX12 wiring for the packs looks easy but nothing happens. Have to find way of posting it is to big.

is there an earth to the cradle that holds the coils thats also earths to the head, make sure thats there and try using the earth off the engine before using the body.... check your plugs casue if they are iridiums or anything the foul up easily and once they have been drowned ie sitting there trying to start the car they will be rooted for life they are a waste of money get some stockies and gap them down to .8mm....

Getting confusing, keep forgetting how my own computer works. There are the six wires for each individual pack (pulse) and two earth wires that join into one which was attached to the heads but i have moved to several other locations to no avail. I have even attached the earth from the packs to the computer earth, still nothing. I have tried to download the wiring diagram to the thread but it is to big, but you can check it out at, http://www.microtech-efi.com/downloads/65.pdf. Might give you some idea rather than my ranting.

is the rb25det a series 1 or series 2 motor??

series 1 have a igniter pack on the back or the coil cover .  

series 2 motors have the igniter in the coils themself's or in the comp..

you may have to get a igniter pack or module to fire the coils..

It is a series 2 the computer is supposed to ignite the packs thats why I have the LTX12 microtech computer. you can see it at, http://www.microtech-efi.com/downloads/65.pdf if you wish.

Having a closer look at that diagram, I reckon those are direct-fire coils, not coilpacks.

Instead of having a coil that fires into a distributor which then directs the spark to the appropriate plug, these are coils that fire directly to the spark plug, via a plug lead ie no distributor required, but multiple coils required.

I'd get back to Microtech and ask them how to solve the problem.

Thanks Blind_elk, this is becoming an ever increasing nightmare, the projected budget has blown out of all proportion and simply can't afford to the car on the road all the help I get is very much appreciated.

Have been told to take the packs out and send them to microtech for testing, do you know how i can test them at home before i go to that expense.

Thats right the paks are attached to the plugs and are wired direct to cpu.

    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
    • See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?
    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
