JH32 I'm sorry if bumping the tread hurts you

Firstly I have googled it before I put a thread up in here

Secondly - on goggle it does not give a clear info on fitting these to a RB26 there are loads of topics re the RB25

Yep, what Ben said in a nutshell. Really, there's plenty of info out there on how to do it.

I used this guide to do mine:

EDIT: actually this was the guide I used, but the one above helped fill in some gaps:

http://www.240sxforums.com/forums/rb-tech/137034-rb25det-series-2-ls2-truck-coil-pack-swap.html

Basically for each coil, there is a couple of grounds, a +12v and a trigger wire.

1) I joined the ground from each coil together (in series? dunno what the technical term is) and then had one single ground wire coming out the end of the new harness that then attached to one spot on the valley cover (see attached pic).

2) I did the same with the power wire for each coil, joined them all together. The single power that comes out the end of your harness then connects into the connector at the back of the head with 3 wires going into it (circled green in my pic attached).

3) The other 2 wires in that connector circled in green are i) the signal ground which is also ground to the valley cover, and ii) the trigger wire which you won't need anymore (you will see why when you remove all the back wrapping off the coil pack harness).

When you go about connecting the trigger wires to the wires that go into the ignitor (you will need to cut the harness on the firewall side to do this so you can plug them into your own, new connector), make sure you do each one individually so you don't stuff it up. Good advice here is to take a photo of the ignitor pack as all the wires as the wires are colour coded.

Read the above, then read that link I posted, then read them both a few more times. Once you get your head around it, it's dead easy.

One last thing thing can you give me the part numbers for the coils

    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.  
    • Dashcams Australia (13/05/25) captured JDMHSE (Vic plate) being a right tosser. 
    • Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
