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?

      Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL

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

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
