Water in engine bay.. .

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 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.

if you've got a BOV then they probably took the vacuum pipe off for the carbon cannister so your BOV count connect to your plenum...

this is the one that usually gets disconnected:

nope its an NA hehe

i'll take a pic of it tonight and post that up to see if it helps.

yeh def won't be wasting money on Splitfires for an NA

yeah.. give the sanding a go.. make sure u spray WD40 onto it so it doesnt corode.

[ASYLUM]

yep, all stocked up on the WD40!

[SECURITY]

spray a little on the spring too

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.

[SECURITY]

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.

[SECURITY]

yeah but im thinking if it didnt fit right away then they must be different. im not 100% if theres a difference in part numbers. but im sure that if it didnt fit right away then they arent right.

k, last night remembered my 33 is a series 1.5, hence has a series 2 engine etc.

apparently has same coil packs as the 34 also.

so now i need 2 coil packs (another one was also causing problems) from a series 2
