R33 Gtst And Gtr Coil Packs

[tommis85]

Hi all,

I just have a very quick question. Can the factory coil packs from a R33 GTST S1 be used in a GTR of the same year? I ask because the ones in my GTR are stuffed but I still have my old ones from my GTST.

I know that the Splitfire coil packs are the same for both the 26 and 25 of certain year models so I'm just curious if this is the same case for the factory items.

Please advise. I'm thinking that they probably won't be ideal but will get the car from A to B?????

PS - this is just temporary, I hope to get splitfires in the very near future.

I believe so. Series 2 and R34 gtr are the same, so it stands to reason that the S1 and R32/r33 are also the same.

Are your coil packs breaking down and arcing everywhere but in the plug? Try your plug gaps at 0.7mm.

Thanks Vspec, well it won't hurt to try. I've been told that there is a miss under load at high rpm on the dyno. He had a set of Splitfires there and they made it go away so it's been isolated to the coils.

I've been getting the E11 tuned in over the past week and there were some dramas with the turbo....my mechanic was sold a crap one (he bought it on behalf of me through his supplier)....my GT3582 had a ford XR6 cartridge inside with damaged exhaust wheel and other signs that it wasn't brand new, so it's been sent back. It still worked, but who'd want a exhaust wheel that looks like this? (I'll load up photos tomorrow)....and besides, I payed for a NEW turbo not a second hand pieced together one. So, come Tuesday, I should have a "real" GT35 without a old second hand cartridge in it and also, I'll be trying the 0.63 housing while it's apart so stay tuned for that as well.

I guess I'm lucky I didn't sell my spare coils then ;-) See how they go. I wish I didn't sell my Splitfires.
