HI

Anyone with a S2 R33 and splitfires, WITH A MULTIMETER, got to their splitfire coils and do a resistance reading between the ground, center plug and the LH one when looking at the coil, for the coil. ALSO tell me what the mulitmeter was set at? i have 20, 200, 2000, 20k, 200k, and 2000k ohms.

I tested mine and i get 1600ohms, when the mulitmeter is set to 2000ohm reading. The AUTO electritian told me it has to be 0.9 ohms, and that is near imposible.

This is to do with my other thread, i can't seam to fix my car. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/in...howtopic=151261

Because you have a series 2, the coils on your car differ greatly from an older car's coil. Yours has the transistor drive built into the coil package, whereas the earlier engines had a seperate transistor pack.

On the older, seperate transistor, coil engines the reading on the primary side should be about 0.9Ω.

On your car you are trying to read through the transistor as well as the coil winding, so your reading will be a lot different.

Use your diode test on your meter, and go between pins 1 and 2, both ways round. Compare the reading you get with the other 5 coils. See wether there is a variation between the set.

Hope that helps at all.

James.

Sorry to dig up an old thread like this but i am also keen on knowing this!

I have a similar problem. I just want to know whether the reading should be between .6-.9ohms.. can anyone confirm??

      Ah right. Maybe my rb just loves chewing through batteries lol.

      On the R34 can't you just unplug the IACV? This is the way I've always done it on the R33. Disconnect IACV, get it idling around 650rpm, and then do a power reset on the ECU to get it to relearn idle (factory ECU).   The big reason no one has touched on as to why you'd want to get the base idle right, is that it means the computer needs to make smaller adjustments to get a good idle at 700-750rpm.   Also, cleaning the IACV won't normally make the car suddenly idle lower or higher. The main issue with the IACV gumming up is that the valve sticks. This means the inputs the ECU gives, aren't translating to changes in air flow. This can cause idle choppy ness as the ECU is now needing to give a lot of input to get movement, but then it moves too far, and then has to do the same in reverse, and it can mean the ECU can't catch stalls quickly either.

      12.8 for a great condition, fully charged battery. If the battery will only ever properly charge to about 12.2V, the battery is well worn, and will be dead soon. When I say properly charge, I mean disconnect it from the car, charge it to its max, and then put your multimeter on it, and see what it reads about an hour later. Dieing batteries will hold a higher "surface charge", but the minutest load, even from just a multimeter (which in the scheme of things is considered totally irrelevant, especially at this level) will be enough over an hour to make the surface charge disappear.   I spend wayyy too much time analysing battery voltages for customers when they whinge that our equipment (telematics device) is causing their battery to drain all the time. Nearly every case I can call it within about 2 months of when the battery will be completely dead. Our bigger customers don't even debate it with me any more ha ha ha. A battery at 12.4 to 12.6 I'd still be happy enough with. However, there's a lot of things that can cause a parasitic draw in a car, first of which is alarms and immobilisers. To start checking, put your multimeter into amps, (and then connect it properly) and measure your power draw with everything off. Typical car battery is about 40aH. Realistically, you'll get about half this before the car won't start. So a 100mA power drain will see you pretty much near unstartable in 8 days.

      Car should sit at 12.2 or more, maybe 12.6 or 12.7 when fully charged and happy. If there is a decent enough parasitic load then it will certainly go lower than 12.2 with time. You can't beat physics.

      Ok guess I can rule out the battery, probably even the starter and alternator (maybe) as well. I'm gonna clean those leads and see what happens if it's still shit I might take it to an auto electrician. Unless the immobiliser is that f**king heavy, but it shouldn't be.  If I start the car every day, starts up perfectly never an issue. Isn't 12v low, shouldn't it be around 12.5v?
