[i2icho]

Hey guys please dont shoot me down, im new to the whole car scence, i own a skyline R33 '95 and my engine is misfiring occasionally above 6 psi. Ive been reading around on this Forum and have found as if i need new coil packs or need to clean them or something. The only problem being me as a Novice have No idea what so ever where to find them under the hood any help would be much appreciated, Sorry for sounding completly stupid but im still learning alot about my Skyline.

If your going to buy new ones, look in the trader section for splitfire coilpacks. You can get them from sliding performance for a good price.

They are really easy to replace. A bit time consuming because of the intake going over the top of the engine. The top middle cover (black cover) on your engine is your coil pack cover. There are about 8 bolts to get this loose. Just use an allen key. You will need to remove the blow by hose, thats the one that connects the two sides of the top of the engine. You can then slide it out. You might also need to take off your intake pipe, but you should be able to just squeeze it past. You have now exposed your coil packs. Each has two skrews to undo and a plug from the wiring harness. When all this is loose, just pull it up. It will make a bit of a pop sound as it comes loose.

I got a set of Splitfires for my R34... is it as easy as just pulling the old ones out and putting the new ones in?? nothing special needs to be done?
