Is there anything that will be a major problem with splicing a set of series two coilpacks into a series one loom? I havn't had a close look at a series 1 loom yet, but I assume it's basically a matter of just skipping past the series 1 ignitor and hooking them in directly to the loom?

If anyone has done this I'd love to hear how it went.

Sorry buddy but it will not work.

Firstly, the series 2 coil pack will not fit into the series 1 steel brackets...different shape...series 1s are bigger. secondly, the series 1 coil pack has the ignitor inside each coil. In the series 2 coilpacks, the ignitor is outside the engine in the little black box somewhere near the fire wall.

So your car will not run with the series 2 coilpack in it.

Get yourself a set of splitfire coils from nengun.com like i did. Much better and worth the wait!!!

I know this bcos it has been mentioned on the forum b4 and also my mechanic tried to fit series 2 coils in my series 1 and it wouldnt even fit at all!!! Even if he did get it to fit somehow, it still will not work....haha...some mechanic :rolleyes:

If you compare a series 2 coilpack with a serie 1 coilpack, you will find notable differences...size, shape and colour(series 2 a bit more greyish).

platinum - i can see no major problems with getting the series 2 coil bracket and coils, skipping the ignitor and wiring them in directly. i beleive it will work just fine. if you can't get the bracket though, just remote-mount them with leads on the firewall.

I think that will be okay as I have the series 2 steel brackets as well as the coilpacks. :D

I'll just wire in the series 2 loom plug (i have that too heh!) straight into where there series 1 loom usually goes into the ignitor.

Looks like a nice experiment but I think some magic smoke will be happening...

Just because it looks simple, doesn't mean it works that way. There are more things to consider. People who have experimented with their igition system have fried their coils, ECU, ignitor modules and so one.

Hope all works out but I wouldn't do it!!

I've heard alot of horror stories about igition systems so its your call, make sure you do alot of research first.

I don't know - but it seems to me that in series 1's is goes

Signal -> Igniter -> Coilpacks -> Sparkplug

Whereas, in the series 2's it simply cuts out the extrac jump and goes

Signal -> igniter/coilpack combo -> Sparkplug

The actual signal from the loom should be identical I'd say.

benl1981: how much are you chasing

N I B: thanks, any reason why they are better? ;)

I don't know if I should admit this.... :(

But I was just down having a play with the setup, and thought that the plug on the loom coming from the coilpacks looked a very similar size to the one on the ignitor, and what do you know it fits perfecty. ;)

Should really learn to check these things. :(

make sure the pins are correct and see how it goes.

interesting about the series 1 coilpacks being a bit better, anyone else found this?

NIB you mentioned using a GTR ignitor can help, is there much wiring and mucking around to do when installing one in place of the RB25 job?

    • I can ship Nismo floor mats to you: https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/nismo-floor-mats-for-skyline-r33-bcnr33-stagea-wgnc34?_pos=1&_sid=9278c1467&_ss=r  
    • Here's the link: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6642/misc/G49?frame_no=WGNC34-137122 What you think about it? The same product i found on nengun: https://www.nengun.com/oem/parts/40567/MiPwn5qAMfCfmpxHNDnwn5q9MDAx8J-QiW9sZC1qcC0xMTAtRzQ5LS0wMDE/Floor+Carpet+%2F+Mat+2/0688339eba149c19 Bot i have spoken to 😅 ensured me, that mats are 100% original, oem product. I have my doubts. I also heard what you mentioned, that nengun often offers items that are actual not available... On the other hand mats i found on japanese yahoo or ebay are in poor condition and still quite expensive so i'd rather wait for some better offers. My location - Poland. We literaly don't have ANY market for used Stagea parts so need to search outside Europe.
    • You can’t see much on the other side as the lcd is there I don’t think it’s the same as the m33 beside it as the markings on top is not the same was hoping someone had a good quality photo or if they just happened to have the unit in hand, quickly take the cover off and take a photo to clearly show the marking on top to identify the diode   the unit is currently with an electronics repair shop so I can’t take another photo at the moment hopefully they are smart enough to know if it’s a zener diode or not
    • I'd be very surprised if you can buy new OEM mats. But if you can, I want some too!  Do you have links to the variations you found? Also, where are you located? I found that Nengun is happy to list items to purchase but when you do buy them you'll get an email that it's actually discontinued. As far as I know the variations in floor mats are different colour schemes as well as automatic and manual having a slightly different shape. The automatic ones fit into a manual car without issues, but I think you'd have trouble fitting the other way around. I have photos that show the shape difference if you care. FWIW I bought sets of used floor mats in decent condition at yahoo auctions.
    • Hi 🙋‍♂️. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? 😃  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this 🙏
