thanks for replys guys but after getting my car on the dyno today, found out my problem is fuel..... gotta take to mechanic now to find out if its bad fuel or the bosch fuel pump.... hopefully not fuel pump....

You can't use a S1 ignitor and coil loom?

Beats buying new coils.

Mate if you can point me in the direction of an auto spark who can do this job in sydney then Ill do it, but i cant find anyone with the know how..

I got some pics just got to get my girlfriend to load them(she good at Computer stuff) they are the same as a Skyline in the curretn High Pefromance Imports 6 coils mounted on the rear fire wall. mine are fitted differently.

let me get this straight - the series 2 R33 uses no ignitor, but the series 1 R33 uses an external ignitor for the coils? is there any easy way of telling which series head i have, the head is going onto an RB30 bottom end and i'm not sure!

[Sparki_D]

Series 2 uses inbuilt ignitor in coils, series 1 uses external ignitor. Take a pic of the head and post it.

shit, it's a series one i just found out. are the series two coils much better in any respect? thinking of going wasted spark with some falcon coils or something and remote-mounting on the firewall with leads. seems easier and it appears some people have issues with the 25 coils while others do not.

Try and buy the coil harness off a Series 1 RB25 car from these forums and get an ignitor module to from the Series 1 (obviously).

Im not sure if the Series 1 loom will plug straight into the socket when you unplug the Series 2 coil loom. (If it does it should be a straight swap)

At worst, the mechanic would have to either fit the correct socket or just wire the coil loom straight to the engine loom.

All the pinouts on the ecu's are the same, the ignitor module just has the transistor in that instead of being intergrated into the coils.

If you got the loom and ignitor any auto electrician should be able to do it.

If you go look at the back of the head you will see the coil loom plugs straight into the main harness, and you will get what i mean.

OK sweet, ill pop down to the jap wreckers when I get a chance and see if I cant do this

good info there - now i'm thinking it might be easier to get three waste spark coils from another car and graft them into the loom. it can't be THAT hard and would keep the buggers from getting too hot as seems to be the case.
