Are the bosch ones like the Nissan/Splitfire ones or like a lead/distributor sorta setup?

UMMM yeah

I dont know the way it is set up is that the coils are mounted on the rear firewall and the ignitor has been move to sit underneath the Coils and then just run 6 leads to the spark plugs directly from the coils

Its coming from the side of the coil. Does this mean there is a small crack on the side? You can see burn marks on the side from where it is getting warm from the little leak..

yep means theres a crack, tape/glue it up and see if it improves

I will be having a look at my coil packs this weekend, as I currently have 4k-5k+ rev problems.

I think I will clean them first and have a good look, and glue them if cracks are obvious.

I think replacing them will be the best option in the longrun.

Will let you guys know how I go.

OK so my mate helps me take out the coils on my GTT. We look at all of them and can not find a single crack or blemish, they all look new.

We tape them up anyway and go for a drive, problem is still there.

So we decide to gap the plugs at .8, SO FAR THE PROBLEM IS FIXED!!!

He reckons it will be fine from now on, I hope he is right.

hey guys.. just wondering if urethane would be better than the araldite glue..

does anyone know?

Hey, It all depends on whether urethane is heat proof and has good electrical insualtive qualities.

Basically you need to insulate the coil packs from arcing if there is a crack in them.

Use whatever, as long as its heatproof to about 130 deg c and is an electrical insulator.

Chris :)

well i did it, i just used a razor to apply a liberal coat onto the front of it where i saw the crack (only 2 had cracks, and 1 had a burn mark)

.. im going to leave it for a while to dry.. heres how they look now..

ill post results later.

i just stuck them in and now its running alot better.. its still early to tell if the urethane is reliable or not but so far its looking the goods..

it costs around $18 a tube for the urethane.. im just not sure what the heat resistance is.

ive had the same problems, but in the end im purchasing new coils, they are not spitfire ones. This guy in NZ is selling them cheap and provides a good spark.

i have purchased it and yet to put it in, but the feedback from customers is great. No more missing at idle or revs.

tried this with alrodite (how ever you spell it) still got 5k missing problem, have to bite the bullet and get some spitfires i think.

Hey, Have you checked your spark plug gap?

What boost and mods U running?

Just curious...

Haing a look back in the thread, it seems that most problems are either cracked coils or bad spark plug gap. If it wasn't this then it was fuel problems.... like fuel cut or blocked injectors...

:(

You guy's are Legends!!!!!

My RB25 180sx has been missing from about 4 grand fro ages now. It has been driving me nuts.

I pulled out the coli packs and there didn't seem to be any cracks, so i just taped them up to be sure. That didn't work.

So I followed the advice to pull out and gap all the plugs and also sprayed the small coils under the rubber boot with WD40.

Now the thing is running beautifully again :)

Thanks again! Top thread!

Jeff.

I have done this as well.. Yet to put them into the car.

One other thing I did was get some VHT Engine Block paint (400+ Degs). Taped up the electrical contacts and the very stem of the coil. Then gave them about 5 complete coats each.

Now I know that every possible section of the pack is coated one way or the other.

did the vht engine block paint on my coils (fire red). Seems to keep em cooler and works great.

The only problem is they take a long time to dry.

:P

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
