Wiring is easy in a S2 skyline due to the built in ignightor.....

But location of the coil packs will be more interesting as i have that much crap under the bonnet....

I dont want to run huge leads either due to vd (voltage drop) but yeah i have ordered the parts and will try....

Well its a different kettle of fish as you have ignightor pack at the rear of your tappet cover.... But still easily do able.... You just need coils to suit.... On the down side the non-ignightor coils are more dollars....

Ill let you know how i go

I read the whole website... Looks like a great money spinner for him as he has a number of project cars.... Good on him..... However its not an upgrade is just a replacement alternative....

Also the coil packs he uses need an ignightor so wont souit S2 skyline with out extras....

So not suitable for me personally....

Good luck with the remote set up Col.

Personally, I am throwing mine in the bin and getting some splitfires.

Mine is on an RB20 so seperate ignitors but its been nothing but grief all the same. The coils used were three doubles I beleive are standard fitment on the VN holden with some Bosch ignitors.

No word of a lie it has failed on me minimum 8 times and the car is sitting in the garage now with yet another melted coil pack. First two times I thought it was the tuner but it has been looked at by other mechanics , auto elecs ( rewired twice) and reps for Autronic and it just keeps on melting. Also spoke to somebody in NSW with identical engine and setup who had the identical problem and also threw it away.

At the end of the day it might still be a problem that nobody has picked up on or it might just be the coil packs themselves are hopeless but I just have had enough.

I honestly hope you can get yours to run without hiccup and if I can share any advice it would be to be wary of mounting position in relation to heat. Also dont get the whiz bang leads first up, get cheap ones that are longer than you need and use zip ties to mount the coils as you will find you will probably move them around.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
