Hi guys

My car got a bad starting every morning nd find that it's coil packs is week nd some of them are sparking underneath so gotta change them but got confused which one is better

.1 remenufectured from eBay $300 (set of6)

2. New genuine Nissan from eBay $900 (set of 6)

.3 genuine Nissan by mechanic $1300 he quit

4. Just cheap eBay about $250 or something no brand

It's huge difference between online eBay nd according to mechanic for the same coil pack (genuine Nissan) why ?

 

One more question. Are they easy to install or should I go to qualify mechanic?

 

Mechanic said if you gonna buy then no guarantee but he will do then 20000 km guarantee

 

Any advise would be appropriate thanks

Just buy some splitfires from Just Jap. Around 600 ish from memory and they are a reputable seller who give warranty. You can fit them yourself, it's a fairly basic task. Stay away from remanufactured and cheap eBay crap and also the not so cheap yellow ones. OEM or splitfires are the common reliable choices.

They are direct replacement. Just make sure you get the right ones for your model. They come out individually as well. There should be 2 small bolts holding each 1 in. Where are you located mate?

My only advise is don't skimp.. I setup a car last week (preparing it for the dyno) and the owner had a popular-failing brand of coils which he brought new. Guess what? he now has spent more money on Splitfires to resolve his issues.

His colourful coilpacks nearly shorted his ECU too when 1x of the coilpacks decided to short essentially creating a bridge between +ve & -ve.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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.

      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
