Ok, had a stutter and felt like the car was holding back around the 4500 rpm mark which after alot of reading seemed the coil packs where to blame and a test would be a good idea,

Tested the ones in my car and they all read 1.1 ohms, strange? Was looking for around 0.6 - 0.9, correct? I thought there might be a bit of difference in them so i tested ones out of another engine and again all where 1.1 ohms, even stranger? so i tested a load more and was getting the same reading for all of them!

Then warmed up my original ones and tested them again, this time they all read 1.3 ohms? So in therey, after all the reading these should all be f**ked, but surely this can not be the case?

Im using a multimeter set on 200 ohms, addmitidly the meter is a bit s**t, maybe this is the problem? Im testing them out of the car hot and cold and on the + and - pins, is there something else im forgetting to do, the way im doing it i belive im testing the primary coils and also how to you test the secondary coils?

Can anyone shed any light without the reply of get yourself some splitfires, thanks again..........

If u have an aftermarket ecu u can increase the dwell times. This will fire your coilpacks for longer and ensure a good spark. Increasing it also reduces its life.

You can also reduce the spark plug gap to 0.8mm to reduce misfire brought on by shite coilpacks

      Clutch done also about a year ago got a DCS HD Single Plate. Basically done everything but touch the engine 🤣 But will definitely get a fuel pump and ECU, then start saving 🫡

      Fuel pump and clutch and ecu that’ll get you to about 230 or so kw, after that the sky’s the limit and the budget blows out faster then you can blink

      Should add all mods on the car are done in my ownership. The car was a 1 owner in Japan and I'm first owner in Aus.

      Thanks GTSBoy. Did BC's so not Japanese coilovers. I've already done all the other points you mentioned besides the seat, I like the factory seats and want to keep original look. Done all the fluids and comp tests etc and all consistent and clean. Well and truly used to the power and car as I've been driving it for a few years as it is now. Contemplating next steps mainly. Preference to remain twins too. @Murray_Calavera Paying for labour.

      Hmm. I don't think it is possible. As soon as you start, you will be on the hook for all the money. $5-10k is enough to make it fragile. Here's the list of things you need to do to make it nice, and driveable. If Japanese coilovers, get them measured and tested, then decide if you're keeping them or replacing them. If low rate springs, then consider big ARBs. If high rate springs, then probably leave stock ARBs. Either way, ad decent end links. Replace and/or upgrade all suspension bushes. That's LCAs front and rear, UCAs & traction arms at rear, caster rods at front. I highly recommend GKTech FUCAs, although the step to spherical joints is a step too far for some people. Rebuild brakes front and rear. This means making sure the calipers are healthy, discs are up to thickness, hoses are replaced with braided. Add good pads and fluid. Investigate wheel bearings all the way around, tie rod ends all the way around, upright bearings at the front, balljoints everywhere. Any of these that are still original are likely to be a bit wibbly nowadays. Bride or Recaro driver's seat, with fairly deep sides. Nice tyres. Street performance wheel alignment. Or track focused, if you're not going to use it on the road. Fluids everywhere if not known to be fresh. Now, learn to drive the car as hard as it will go, before trying to add any power. Save up big $$. $5k is the minimum cost for putting a decent ECU into it. A big single, with manifold, new exhaust, injectors, fuel system upgrade, ignition upgrade, triggering upgrade, etc, is >>$10k. None of that (except the ECU) is a good idea on an old RB. You really should put head studs in it, investigate engine health (compression and leak down, real oil pressure at revs, coolant condition, etc) before even considering adding power. There's nothing sadder than the "I added boost then it shat the bed" thread.
