Coilpacks...can I Use Them?

[1st 32]

I went to change my coilpacks this morning - as I have a missfire problem - and noticed the part numbers on the ones I bought were slightly different the my existing ones. The guy I bought them off listed them for r32 rb20det or r33 rb25det s1, but I know you can't trust some sellers and their knowledge. I've tried searching but have only found that there are different ones, not if they are interchangeable. I have a pretty good idea that I can't use them but just wanted to double check before I waste more money!

I have a 93 R32 GTS4 with the rb20det - existing coilpack part number is 22433 60U02

- Other ones have 22433 59S11.

Any help is appreciated!

Thanks, Tom

the rb20det coilpacks are the same as the Series 1 R33 GTST according to my Splitfires which i purchased.

The splitfire model: SF-DIS-001 works for r32, gtr and r33 series 1

The model number on my old r32 coilpacks is; 22433-60U02

Problem is, you could have series 2 nissan coilpacks

I guess if you can confirm the model number to be series 1 coilpacks, then it should fit in your rb20? But dont take my word for it as its only an assumption

Thanks for your input Rekin, must be series 2 like you said.

Although they appeared to be pretty much the same, when I went to change them over I discovered that the socket on top of the existing ones have 3 prongs that were vertical, whereas the the socket on the other ones were horizontal!

Guess I'll have to keep looking for the right ones

Im very sure its S2 but would like extra confirmation before i order in some spit fires...
