Hr31 Coupe Coil Pack Question

[bluebird attesa]

Ok I know this question may have been asked before but I need to confirm a few things.

Can I change my r31 rb20det red top coil packs with r32 or r33 items.

Is it just a matter of changing the loom with the coil packs or will I have igniter problems.

Is it easier to go from r31 into r32 set up.(coils plus loom plus igniter) or will I then have ecu wiring problems.

I am after plug and play if possible rather than re-wiring a heap of crap.

I beleive even if I go to splifire I will have to change the loom anyway which I think comes in the kit.

Its no use chasing down second hand red top coil packs as all are over 20 years old and unreliable.

If I can change the set up to r32 or r33 items at least i can find some half that age and maybe more reliable.

Unplug the redtop packs, pull them out, put the 32 pack in, plug them in, easy. AFAIK, it's the same with 33 and 34 ones as well, as my mate has RB26DETT ones in his worked CA18DET as he kept popping CA ones.

VL's don't have coil packs, they have A coil??

Correct, RB30s are coil and dizzy ignition, not coil packs. He's asking about an RB20DET.

i'm also not sure about the r33 S2 & r34 coil packs as they have the ignitor as a part of the pack... don't know how if that would work with the red top ignitor.

i'm not 100% on this one either but there may also be a difference between the early red top coil packs and the ECCS version. look in the tech section at www.r31skylineclub.com to get a 100% correct answer.
