Ill talk to him about it but i have not met the guy yet so i dont want to go around there asking the world he was nice enough to offer me to borrow a tool which i found extremely odd as my previous experance with forums and there users there full of douch bags i must say this one seems quiet a bit differant ive had some great responses and helpfull advice.

Cheers :)

superben is right.....

there is no way of testing the coilpacks under "high" boost.

you can swap one and try it, keep going until you find it. but more than likely, a few of them have deteriorated.

can't you test them with an oscilliscope?

I do. But Never used it on coils to inspect if they are faulty. I wouldn't think it would be easy to do. And it wouldn't show up if the coil is arcing out the side through a small crack or something.

Good way of ruining the oscilloscope I would say, unless you can isolate the probe somehow. (I wouldn't be trying it with mine) Still won't show up what's happening under boost without some ingenuity on the dyno.

I don't have RB coils here, but VQ coils don't seem to have any of these issues. ;) (I am running 30-40psi on my original coils) they could possibly work if you removed the ignitor. You would need to make up some new brackets though, and hope the dwell is ok with the stock computer.

the rb coils are awesome, but cos of nissan prices, they are usually the 20 year old originals... slap some new oem in and your laughing.

I was farting around last night with the shitta and discovered more than 1 air leak some of them i created when i decided to go 40psi using Scotts blanking tool as i poped a few hoses of however the factory blow of valve seems to leak at about 4psi so id say the spring is shagged ill make a braket up and try plumb in one i have sitting around its just a black plastic bosch unit cant remember where i got it but it held of on my old E15 to 20psi so should be good ill test again once i fit this or try and source another factory one as i do like a standard looking engine bay.

Cheers again to all of you for your help been very refreshing to get some decent answers with intelect behind them not just replace this that and the other.

Factory bov has a hole in it.that is probably what you heard leaking.

You can plug it up with a grub screw, but it can make the transition onto boost not as nice. Maybe plug it for the test and test drive, then remove once all good.

    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
