Mounting the igniter pack

[yogi000]

Hey Guys,

I wanna take the peice between the two rocker covers out, the part that covers the coils. The problem is where can i mount the igniter pack after that.

where have you guys put it???

cheers

Hey mate.

Best thing to do is take out the plastic part and then head off down to your local hardware store. Pick up some thick plastic or acrylic. Then use the old coil cover as a template. Just make the back section were the igniter pack mounts into.

Or you can cut that back section off and mount that little bit of the original back on with your igniter pack on it. (Quick and easy. Hacksaw and about 10 mins work - What I have done)

Take it easy

Zippy tie it to your ABS lines? :Oops:

[Emre]

If it's the same as the GTR, which i can't see it being any different :

Using one of the allen screws attach it to one of the wholes already present. Don't forget to attach the ground wire as well.

I tried what Emre said but my wires aren't long enough to allow the igniter to reach any of the holes on the cam covers.

Looks like a bit of DIY bracket making..

.

[Emre]

It must be different than.

Aren't there holes either side, only about 4-5 cm away from the default position...?

If yes, haven't you got enough slack to take that up...?

[cul202]

Yeah, there's only a couple of inches in it, but the wires have bugger all slack. This is in an R32 GTS-t though.

mines just resting there, but ill be mounting it somewhere eventually cos it does get pretty hot being so close to the cam covers etc

[FATGTS-R]

Mine was done the same way as ricelines, and the same as many cars I have seen.

Just chop off 90% of the cover and leave only enough for the pack to sit on.

ziptie it!

[NismoGirl]

ziptie it!

He knows where it's at!

Zippi ties rock!

[RedRocket]

I just used a thin strip of stainless steel, cut it with a hacksaw and bent it over the corner of the wall then drilled a couple of holes. you will need to find the appropriate screws to use in the existing holes as the allen key ones are too long.

I reckon it looks nice and is very strong.

Also, stainless is a better insulator than aluminium etc.

Ziptie to your nitrous lines like me

umm don't just leave it hanging there....I remember seeing a car catch fire when the plug cam loose and it landed on the turbo....

Adrian....nos lines.... :slap:

Or, another out there idea....how about keeping the spark plug cover like Mr Nissan suggests?

mr nissan might be onto a good thing

[Morgs]

Might be, but I don't think Mr Nissan intended the temperatures to be that hot in the spark plug covers !!

I used a zip tie

I am going with the HKS Twin Power soon, so I am going to be in a similar situation, I would suggest a nice Bracket, but by the same token, I lime the stock look under my engine bay..

yes interesting point and lots of people have taken off coil pack covers. but has anyone ever measured the temp in there?

I heard a suggestion once that there is actually quite a good airflow from the front to the back when the engine is running.

[yogi000]

if u look at the metal plate behind the cam gears(r32), it has fins that allow air flow from the cam gears to flow into the coil pack area. could be good for cooling?
