Well after trying to fix my coils with coating the clear part of the coil with silicon, it did fix it somewhat with no mid range misses. So ive upped the boost and seem to get a few other problems , but thats another story.

I decided to leave the coil cover off, and when i got home in darkness had a look underneath for spark. And to my discovery, ive saw lightning on about 4 coils. Will check it again tomorrow night for a better check.

Looks like im up for a new set.

use some Co-Contact cleaner. I was thinking of the same idea about the silcone coating but never did it. My gts-t and GTR did it but just spray them off with the co-contect cleaner and maybe use a soft cloth that should stop the tracking should stop the coil shorting to earth.

you covered the wrong part of the coil.

 the clear part never cracks AFAIK.

 It is the side opposite to the clear part that cracks.

 

these photo's from a thread I posted show where they usually crack.

I couldnt find any cracks on the body of the coil as shown in your pic. I found a few little marks on the clear part though. If thats the case i pull them out one by one and try and fix them. Its annoying

Cool...i saw the same thing in the movie Wraith. If its good enough for Charlie Sheen its good enough for me.  :cheers:

So they can get that bad can they?

off topic but

havent watched the movie for a while but what was the car i cant remember?

arent u supposed to earth them somehow b4 u uncover??

maybe bull shit to get more $$ outta me iono

but so much coil talk i posted a pic

THIS A F**D COIL if your looks da same time for new ones

sparks jumpin from coil to coil not goin threw them to the plugs

see da white shit were it looks melted

I had a look last night in the dark. There were at least 4 coils that where lightning up at idle. To my amazement i can still see no cracks. I can see some burnt marks on the side of the coil however, so ive put a bit of araldite on it for some sealent. I will put them back on tonight too see if its worked.

all my coil packs glow blue when you look down the gaps around them. but my car doesnt miss????

has anyone ealse got there coil cover off. have a look at night and tell me if you can see a flickering glow. my car seems to be a little down on power when compared to other cars with the same set up.

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
