Searching around but has been unsuccessful. In fact ive searched via google etc also elsewhere but no luck.

Any threads someone could point out for a guide to changing coilpacks?

Thought id give this a go, its annoying having to pay through the nose for what so many have suggested is a fairly simple job. Unfortunately my knowledge is limited.... clearly.

Any help or point in the right direction would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Matt

do the above. when u take the coils out u will see that there all attached to 2 metal brackets. take them off the brackets and replace with new ones. easy.

and never again give ur car to a mechanic to change spark plugs or oil its easy and there are tutorials all over that will help and if u get stuck many ppl on sau will be willing to help so just ask

give ur self 2-3hr max because this is ur first time

totally agree with this. these forums are amazing, i changed my oil for the first time 2 days ago, no problems, following these instructions:

only a tiny bit different for the r34, couple of screws, and all was fine :P

these are good instructions for coil packs

step 5 is the most important.

for spark plugs, follow the one above, then just unscrew the plugs below the coil packs

important notes for the plugs: you'll need to have the right size socket for the plugs, its different to a camry (learned that the hard way) and be careful with screws if the engine is hot, its easy to mess them up.

and know what to use:

its always worth having a look through the reference guides in the forum stickys, and the facts/DIY forum

have fun, let us know how it goes

dunno if its mentioned in those but to remove the coil pack loom from the coilpacks i usually put a flat head screwdriver in the gap at the top, push the tab and twist the screwdriver to lever them apart gently. last thing you want to do is break an expensive coil pack loom from pulling too hard on the plugs

Thanks for all the input lads. Successful effort today took me an hour or so. Spot on there nismoid. Bloody good feeling sorting this out myself. completely sorted out the stutter... Rocker gaskets and brake pads next haha :O) got some searching the forum to do tonight.

I've had a z32 ecu and nistune installed, I'm interested in acquiring the software if possible, hoping to learn a bit about the tuning process. I'm not 100% happy and believe a better result could be had ironing out the tune in normal driving conditions. Early days but it would interesting to have someone drive around and atleast be able to view what's happening with the maps in a live state??

Anyhow, thanks again for the replys gents

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
