I was having problems with my coils in that they were breaking down under load whether from cracks in the casing of the coils or just coils on the way out so I called around to get pricing for new coils

Nissan New standard coils $1200.00 a set

Splitfires $600.00 a set

or the option I chose 6 X MEC717 Bosch coils $250.00 and Leads $50.00

here are some pictures it still utilises the standard ignitor.

My friend is responsible for the wiring up of them (Auto Electrician)

this was very easy to do and fit.

and it has performed faultlessly since fitting

Sorry peoples I cannot be any help with a wiring diagram but as you can see from the photos we used the standard ignitor and just had to find the negative and positive from the orginal plugs for the coil packs and then connect them to the Bosch Coils.

Since fitting the coils I have had no problems with Leads they have been fine.

I have also Dyno tested the car since fitting the coils and there has been no loss of power at all so I have yet to find a negative side to the fitment of the coils.

also a added bonus is that if at a later date a MSD is required for additional spark it can be wired in with these coils for BIG boost.

Some of the guys in Qld have been playing with a similar concept but using the redundant spark twin outlet setup as on V6 commo's.

Still looks good and damn good price. A set of quality Eagle leads shouls last a long time at around $80 for the set if the current ones start to have issues.

Wiring this should be fairly easy if you think about it.

yeah man we love the stuff but we just dont know how to wire it all up

what im saying is that if your mate can draw something i would be happy to pay for him to do it so many people can do the same as you and get the good result!

I agree with let me drive, i would love this set up.

Can satanic draw something up.

I have looked at other coil packs ie.GDZ1LA coil packs.

But there is a bit of messing about to get one of these to go on a seris 1(re-wiring of ignitor to an r32 ignitor).

Where as this set up looks reasonably straight forward.

If you guys worked it out you should be able to draw it?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      You know how your car rolled through a fence in your last jacking escapade? Scissor jacks increase the likely hood of that sort of thing happening immensely!

      http://calfinn.com.au/product/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c/1500kg-standard-trolley-jack-cj-2t-c   I have this and fits under a S3 33 GTR with no issues. Purchased in 2009 and not one issue. It was $950 back then. Not cheap but something so important isn’t worth cheaping out on.

      Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?

      Intro/R33 owner

      By f00stx · Posted

      Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).

      Second time Skyline owner (R33 GTS-T and now a V36 370GT)

      Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
