I found out (searched) that a good way to check faulty coilpack is using multimeter and the reading should be around 0.6 and 0.9 but that's for a RB20DET. Is the reading the same for R33 with RB25DET either with or without ignitors.

Attached is a picture of a Series2 coilpack (hopefully). Three terminals. Which terminals should i use to test?

I used 1&2 and got 1.0 and sometimes a 1.1 on the same coilpack. Is that good or bad?

It seems my coilpack harness isn't spared as well. It's in horrible condition. As soon as i remove the connectors, bits of plastics falls off from inside the connectors. Time to get a new one i guess.

Pretty sure standard should read 1.1-1.3 Andrew

What exactly is the problem your having and have to diagnosed it back to the ignition system???

Looking at that plug you wouldn't be getting a great connection which will/can cause problems so i would change that ASAP and check all your others :D

Problem now is misfiring on idle. According to the workshop, it's connected to my coilpack as it hasn't been changed since 1996. I'm the 2nd owner so the first owner didn't bother to change anything i guess. lol Mileage is over 250k atm.

hi there im new here and this is a bit off topic im sorry. I have an a31 cefiro, has anyone of does anyone know if you can wire in the r32 ignitor into the cefiro harness to be used in wasted spark set up? i cant seem to find any diagrams for the ecu side of both ignitors as the cefiro one is ruined and corroded.. any help would be great thanks.

i had horrible misfiring from my coils and the loom was in really bad shape, my solution was to make up a completely new loom from the ignitor and solder the wire straight to the plugs pins then i cleaned the coil contacts and taped them up.

the tape only lasts 5000-10000ks so next time i plan to use some good quality heat shrink or i might try silicone.

it works well, i don't see the point in wasting 500-600 for spitfires sure i agree that it will give you a better spark but meh its a 20 year old $8k r32 why bother.

    • I used the radium thing, makes the whole parallel assembly a lot more compact compared to any other way of doing it 
    • Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare. 
    • Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.
    • Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.
    • This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
