ok, im fairly sure one of my coil packs is failing causing a random missfire on idle and on cruising throttle. now the missfire is a little too random to just pull the plug off and see which one is causing it so i was just wondering whether like the rb20det coils you can sus out which one is screwed by taking an ohm reading on each one and if anyone has an idea on the specs. Also, are the rb20det/rb25det coils the same?

cheers

RB20 &c RB25 coils are interchangeable, im running 5 x rb20 with 1 x rb25 coil.

It may pay to check the resistance with a bit of temp in them, as mine when cold at room temperature all measured the same resistance...it was only after a drive and quickly ripping them out was i able to find the culprit coil

just to revive an old thread, i just got my Splitfire Di coil packs today from jp. Now on the box it says for RB Series engines: RB26DETT, RB25DE, RB20DET & RB20DE. Will these be ok for my series 1 RB25DET? i rekon they will be. any help appreciated :D

its not always the coils.. everybody just blames the coils when they're not sure :) its a favourite tuners response: "I don't really know what is going on so I'll just tell you its coils"

if i find out that this is the case, i will do all of my own work from that day forward. And its too late, i already own the new coils and I found out that the ones i was given are ok to use on RB25DET.

That's a lame excuse considering its about a 30min job to replace the coils and test.

:) true, it just seems a lot seems to be about coils lately as the root of all evils. a few people have wasted a bit of money to find out its hasn't been - then again some have found it is.. so *shrug*

Guess you can only one thing at a time to eliminate things - I have an rb25 s1 igniter if you want to quickly test that sometime, although again thats only part of the whole system.

timing is perfect, the problem was discovered during tuning.

ok, i just put them in and went for a drive, using the old platinum plugs that would make it miss. Didn't miss a beat all the way to 7000 on 0.92bar. Very happy, fixed my problem. Also, after looking at the old coil packs, 5 of them have big white spots on both sides indicating spark blow-out if im right? Time for a re-tune with some more timing now....

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
