who can point me in the right direction, did a couple of searches to no avail. After info on LS1 coilpack setup on RB's, anyone know of a site or SAU link?

LS1 coilpack on a nissan?

Are you crazy dames? Best coilpacks arent the justjap or splitfires - its the good old nissan OEM coils

If you're smoking crack, I want some of that ;D

OEM anything coilpacks will always out perform a just jap/super spark/splitfire coil. the commodore coilpack is rather common, why? because its cheap and it works, really well.

damo, head down to somewhere like morpowa and have a chat with them, if they cant help you out ill see what i can dig up for you. ;)

did someone say crack?

"i would never do crack I would never do crack I would never do a drug named after a part of my own ASS!

"Somebody says you want some crack I say "I was born with one pal! If I need another one I'll let you know but for now I'm sticking with the solo crack-ola thank you!""

It's late and I have had too much soda

true that! the other branded ones are just cheaper replacements that work well but they're still not an upgrade

consider this, heat kills coilpacks. any coil setup as a 'coil on plug' arrangement are sitting right in the middle of the engine, yes? how much heat do you think theyre exposed to? ever touch your cam cover after a spirited drive?

the beauty of the GM/ford coilpack conversion is that they can be remote mounted, away from the engine, and shielded from heat. the lines from the coil pack to the spark plug itself can also be heavily shielded from heat.

the next and most obvious advantage is cost, call up your local holden spare parts department and ask for the price for 3 vn coilpacks (3 is all you need for a 6 cylinder engine) and then call up your local repco/supershit/sprint auto store about a set of leads, youll be pleasantly surprised.

(note: ls1 coil pack conversions require 1 coilpack per cylinder as normal)

if anyone has ever looked at a 2j coil pack cover does anyone realise how it's vented? now why didn't nissan think of that? that's why i don't have a cover :(

toyota packs still fail. they just cost 4x as much to replace. :(

how dare you take that tone with the name of nissan :no:

take it back ;)

nah, i think ill leave it as is. :(

:EDIT: this is how both toyota AND nissan should have set it up;

I disagree sir.

A coilpack gets killed due to oxidization and increased resistance from contacts - not to mention structural damage if you are rough removing or fitting the coilpack itself

the coilpacks are exposed to efficient combusion via the heat conduction of the sparkplug itself as well as the ambient temp of the engine bay and cam covers etc... resistance increases with a temperature increase but thats only a factor of http://www.physicsforums.com/latex_images/75/759468-0.png

Which isnt really significant.

;)

Temp does not kill coilpacks. They are designed to cope with engine bay heat. Its movement/shock as well as surface oxidisation from age that kills coilpacks.

is that the 7m?

uh... no.

1JZ.

ah dohmar, you never cease to disappoint, something useful instead of the 'ah nu, not gm bru' argument that i was expecting from some. thanks. :(

news.com.au has to f**king go. this is my response to the topic http://www.news.com.au/adelaidenow/story/0...5006301,00.html

The article itself is benign however the poll has two loaded questions. loaded meaning any media turd can twist the results to his or her own devices.

This is what I wrote to them. I doubt they will have the balls to publish it, let alone act on it.

Wow AdelaideNow... again you've managed to put out a really unscientific poll. Fair enough if you were going to count a simple yes or no vote, but the addendum to each option totally invalidates the poll for what it pretends to be.

How on earth is crushing a car going to lead to violence? How on earth is crushing a car going to be a deterrent? And how DARE you associate traffic offences with violence! It is totally disingenuous. Its bad enough you feel the need to draw false lines from car enthusiasts and those involved in motorsport to immature young men and women who are blatantly disobeying the law, now you have to stoop to such a level to get your hits and sell your rag?? Your readers are not as stupid as you treat us! its just a shame there is no competitor for us South Australians to turn to for local news. You hold the monopoly for dumbed down journalism, and our society suffers as a result of your laziness.

I hope for the sake of the people of South Australia, that you all find a conscience soon. We deserve better.

Lets see if they grow a pair of balls, or a conscience for that matter.

f**king scumbags.

    • Yeah its bad eh. Ey! Watch your mouth. Yep, spot on. The rear's are always gone too though from brake checking. I had them perilously close to a tree that we had taken down. I think the tree peeps may have taken it. Either for a trophy, or accidentally.  
    • f**kin' yikes! That insulation is the shittest stuff I have ever seen. You need to do an insurance job on that f**ker, pronto. WRT to the washer cover, I would have said that there'd have to be some at a wrecker, then remembered that it's a BMW, and reasoned that every single wrecked one would have been tailgating and so the front end would be trashed.
    • Oh and I lost my headlight washer jet cover!
    • Ok, so I got myself some X1 wheels really cheap to try out, they're a bit different and I like them but they're really narrow (18x8) they are available in staggered 18x8/9 also but really hard to find.  I kinda dig them, but not as much as the F10 19's I usually run, so these go into the wheel pile.         As I mentioned in another thread, I got a new exhaust. It's an off-the-shelf stainless one that fits OH-KAY. I don't love the tips size and how far they come out the back, I think I might cut the tips off and replace with some smaller (~3") ones that don't extend as far. It sounds really good though, I'm not sure if its just in my head but the car feels a little quicker, more responsive.      I fitted an eBay special front lip. Surprisingly it fit perfectly and all holes lined up. Its a little rickety but I haven't put any double sided tape on yet, I want to clean the front bar up where it has scraped the road a lot and fil in the number plate holes (or, get body coloured wrap to cover them - is this a thing?  I'm not sure if I'll leave it gloss or pain it matte. I really like it though, I don't particularly like the front bar without it, I don't really like the M-Sport and to get anything else is just too expensive. That said, I might need a new one now anyway as I dropped the car onto the jack after forgetting to put ramps under the front wheels. It bent a lot and while it did go back to normal after I got the car off the jack, I do fear I have not done it any favours.    Lastly, my headlights died. Different problems in each. They have gotten much dimmer over the past year or so, I put new (uber expensive) OSRAM bulbs in them but to no avail. One of them pointed at the ground and the other just kinda did its own thing with light working sometimes. Yeah, check this 18 year old BMW headlight wire. I reckon I know why they were stuffed.            BTW, the yellow and black is the power to the Xenons. Yikes. I hunted around an researched my options here. I would have loved to just get a replacement harness but not a thing. My car has adaptive headlights, that is they rotate left and right with the steering wheel. Good condition used adaptive xenons were over $700 each, non adaptive were around $400 each, but I couldn't help but think that they're all around 18 years old now, surely they'd have the same problems. So I looked at newer LCI headlights but they were even more expensive and I couldn't confirm that they'd be plug and play with lots of people having lots of opinions so not worth the risk.  I ended up getting brand new Chinese headlights from MARS. They're very close to OEM with only the angel eyes being a bit different. I didnt want crazy turn signals or sharp DRL's or anything. Not my bag.  They're not adaptive, I thought thats a feature I wouldn't really miss. So I coded that out.  The lights are awesome, they look so nice and they take so many years off the car. The angel eyes look great and the headlight brightness is ridiculous. I was so used to the old ones, I didn't realise just how bad they were. The new ones use the OEM bulbs, Xenon ballast and leveller motor which I was happier with. The only issue with them is that the rear cover is held on by SEVEN screws. This will be a nightmare to get to and open when I need to change bulbs.   
    • Now that you mention it I can see those too. More subtle. The lighting and low resolution makes it hard to assess super well what's going on but what is visible is bad enough to pull the motor.
