It definitely will be more reliable, but if you're going to go through the effort of a coil change and loom change to delete the ignitor module the R35 coils make more sense to use instead of the R34 coils.

The R35 coils provide around double the spark energy compared to any RB based coil. Increased dwell time settings are required to make the most of them within the ECU though. Looking at your car I assume you'd already have an ECU capable of this anyway, like a Haltech, Link, MoTeC. Even Power FC can change the dwell with FC edit, although it's in firing angle instead of dwell msec.

It's got a link ECU, only because I was considering adding a fuel module so it can run e85. Hence the better ignition. I don't think the fuel side needs an upgrade as my mechanic that cleaned the injectors can't believe how much fuel they can pass. Got internal pump feeding surge tank to 2 x 340lph bosch fuel pumps feeding each side of injector rail. Good set up. As this Corona virus has isolated me from Perth I can't get a retune done. I could push for compassionate grounds. As my wife knows the only other love of my life is driving my car!!! I've just stripped down my diff as seized the pinion bearing. Not a nice experience when whole rear end is locked up!! Anyway was also wondering what the front and rear pinion bearings, driveshaft bearings and seals part no's were and where you'd suggest I should get them from??? I need my locker back, the lsd just doesn't track like a locker hey!!

Thanks for your advice and knowledge too because I've pretty well learnt everything I know along the way and would like to share my experiences too in the future!

Did you mean retune? If so, then not likely, no. Unless it was tuned on the ragged edge with the spark failing to burn all the fuel. In which case someone would need their arse kicked anyway.

Yeah I meant retune, bloody predictive text needs a good luck in the arse too!!

The Platinum Racing kit is pretty good, done a r34 & 2jz setups. Comes with everything & has online instructions. Start first go and no problems since. Only use genuine as have seen some issues with others.
The Link is able to to 3D dwell time adjustment, I can provide a map if required.

Massive difference in price and looks more trick than the other set up too, thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction mate. Your a bloody legend!!!

I forgot to keep you informed, but last year, I installed r34 coils, a do luck r34 harness, so I removed the amplifier, and changed the socket on the motor side.  it works perfectly.

 

I remind you that my goal was simply to make it more reliable because I had micro cutouts, so my main goal was to remove the capricious element: the amplifier.

 

And also, I have a non-programmable mine’s ECU.  if I had a link or haltech, I would have taken r35 or r8 coils.

I have the same problem when I hit above 7500 to 8000 revs, I think the r35s are the way to go. I've got the car up for sale but I will probably keep if no one's willing to pay the 20k I'm asking and just keep improving her over time. My benefit their loss hey!

20200409_125058.thumb.jpg.ab0ce8f9c4489055fcc96de555aa963f.jpgStill stuck on best place to get bearings/seals kit for my diff too. Plus tried many options to get part no's with very little luck, anyone point me in the right direction so I don't get ripped off!!! 

remove bearings, measure them and go to cbc or some other bearing retailer. Probably better of taking it to a gearbox/diff shop as will need to reset the backlash and will then have warranty.

Cheers, I'm just trying to do it on the cheap but your right better to be safe than sorry hey!!

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
