Are R32/r34 Gt-r Splitfire Coil Packs Interchangeable?

[Andrw Le Lievre]

I got some RB26 Splitfires + Bridging kit from Japan secondhand in almost new condition. The install went perfectly until I tried to plug the new coilpacks into the loom. I noticed that although the male and female plugs were almost identical, the plastic positioning spades on the sides of the splitfire coilpacks were slightly lower (1.5mm) in comparison to the BNR32 loom. I shaved off these positioning spades and the plugs fitted snugly otherwise, the lock engaging positively.

Unfortunately there is no hint of a spark when I turn the car over whereas the original coilpacks still work fine.

The coilpacks are definitely not series 2 or anything silly like that as externally they are almost identical to those I pulled out. Could it be that they are R34 GT-R coilpacks and there are differences to the R32 GT-R and will not work?

Hi,

Yes R32 and R34 GTR coilpacks are different. The R32 gtst, R32 GTR, R33 series 1 gtst and R33 GTR all use one type of coilpack (without ignitors built into each coil) and the R34 GTR and R33 series 2 gtst use another type of coilpack (with the ignitors built in)

Cheers

sounds like either you were sold the wrong coil packs, or your car was not running BNR32 coil packs to begin with.
