i should be getting a coil from a GTS-t from one of the WA members a bit cheaper. provided the turbo coils are the same for the NA engines.

where can you get replacement springs or 'carbon rods' from? don't they attach inside the coil somehow?

u can get some replacement springs from a Nissan dealership. they just pull in and out off the carbon rod on the inside of the coil pack.

You can get springs from L & T venebles, there's one in Wangara. They're like $2 for a pack of 4.

I used them in my R32. You don't NEED the little carbon bit, it runs fine with just the spring.

and you just pop them in the end? they don't need to be stuck in there? :whatsthat

That will be for the carbon canister, usually located passenger side, just in front of the (standard) air box.

mm it comes out of there and over the engine but doesn't attach to anything else. even though it has a clip on the end as if it had been attached to something.

SECUR1TY: can't see any carbon rod in there either :D its all just white dust etc

i'll have to double check them tonight i think.

dont worry about the carbon rods.. my bad

just stretch your springs slightly and get a little dremil drill with a sander attachment and sand away the layer of shit on the inside of the coil where the spring sits in to a nice shine.

you'll be amazed on how much crap comes out of it.. all that crap causes misfires on everyones car because it doesnt allow for a good contact between the coil and the spring... and then they go out and spend $700 on splitfires.. this is definately a good fix for it. mine have been running excellent since i did it.

haven't had time to get hold of springs or a dremel yet but managed to get a coil pack which i put in last night.

was slightly different to my others and the plug didn't quite fit properly, managed to rejig it and connect it but it still sounds like a wrex :)

so i've pulled it out again.

no idea why it didn't work, perhaps due to it not fitting correctly.

i think now i'll just get someone out to look at it, don't want to do more harm than good.

well.. a coil for another engine wouldnt work, i imagine.

completely different application.

give the sanding a go before you take it anywhere. go to any nissan dealer for the springs or even a wrecking yard

the coil pack was from an R33 GTS-t which i was informed is the same as mine.

the guy looking at it tomorrow is currently putting an RB25 into a 200sx so he should know his way around ok.

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
