hey all i have worked out that my r33 was cutting out randomly because of the earth wire that comes off my ignition or coil pack loom has heat damage and gone hard and stuffed, tried fixing it striped it back and reconnected it a few times but the wire is shaged .

can anybody give me suggestions on aftermarket or alternative setup eg totally different ignition coils and leads to plugs im not sure wats been done and what works best. im running 387hp so if there is a bit of an upgrade that would be great but im strugleing to justify 300+ dollars for nissan genuine loom thanks guys.

Nissan is best - its a 10-15yr old car so IMO its a worth $300

stock igniton/wiring systems are good for over 500rwhp/370rwkw (ive done it) so going with stock even if a little more expensive will ensure you have a faultless setup

Could go with an AU coilpack conversion mate?

S1 AU Coilpack, plug from the AU coilpack, 6 HT leads to suit, with spark plug fittings on end.

Ensures the coilpack is kept away from heat and leads are more reliable.

Bit of a write up here -

why change the factory setup? its proven and reliable. it's lasted decades. did you 100% figure out it was the earth wire or was it your coils?

heaps of high HP cars running splitfires with factory looms.

yea with the car running i wiggled the earth and it cut out tried many times and same thing every time i wiggled it so no doubt it was earth wire.

yea i think ur right about standard i was just curious before i spent the 300 to see if there was anything better for the buck but doesnt seem like there is much ill keep the splitfires and standard loom i think.

    • I have an Elite 2500, honestly most of this has been a lot of smaller tasks chasing little details and a whole lot of life getting in the way of bigger projects. I don't mind too much looking at a spectrograph vs having audio knock ears. 
    • Nah nah nah nah. Don't do it. It's not all about the full throttle power delivery. The main "street fun" and drivability gains from smaller rear (in this case) is how you will have boost available from a low rpm when yo just roll onto the throttle. Think jinking in and out of traffic, coming out of roundabouts, etc etc, where you just want to roll onto the throttle a little and have the spooly noise from ~2000rpm and a swell of torque. More of what you've already achieved by going to 2.5. And then, towards the tail end of 2025 you can pull the turbo 4 out and put in a V8 like we originally suggested. :P
    • Cheers for the info mate, I'm old too, 60 years old next May, so a more linear delivery of the 0.86 would be better as baking tyres and snapping heads isn't on the cards for me or the car I assume a more linear power delivery would be better for engine and drivetrain reliability as well, IRT the torque load at lower RPM???, as well as lower EGT's???, if my understanding of that is correct, have I got that right??? I've only got a really basic understanding of turbo sizing and all there characteristics  Cheers for the useful information 
    • What kind of power delivery are you after? If it's nice and linear, the 0.86 would be better. If you're after bake tyres and head snaps on boost the 0.64 would be fun. I'm boring and old, so linear power is preferred. Lately I've been watching videos on Z06 Corvettes and super charged Mustangs....
