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.

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

      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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
