How much are coil packs worth (New)

[blukie]

Hi all,

just wondering if anyone knows how much a coil pack is worth new from Nissan. I intend on calling Nissan tomorrow to find out but if someone knows here, that might prepare me for the shock when I call in the morning. My car developed a problem over the weekend and it's running a bit rough so I decided to check the plugs this afternoon. Rather than take the 2 racks off that the coil packs sit on I just un-did the bolts that hold the coil packs onto that rack. I started the car with the loosened coil packs sitting on the plugs and pulled 1 coil pack off at time, 1 after the other. I always had 5 cylinders running at a time. As you pull the coil pack up it "arcs out" on the head. Each coil pack "arked out" with similar behavior except for 1 which did not "arc out" much at all. I then swapped the coil pack with another one just to make sure it was not the wiring loom. I figure cause it's behaving differently to the rest it may be the problem. Is this a fair assumption ????

I'll be checking prices with Nissan in the morning and I'll update this thread with the price.

if you live anywhere near castle hill we maybe able to help each other by swaping coil packs . mine started missing at high rpm 6500+ but only when the engine gets very hot say after u drive for 30 min + hard driving . i suspect that i have a coil that breaks down .

i tested them all but by the time i get them off the car they probably cool down enough so they all test ok . after taking all spark plugs out i noticed number 4 being a little blacker than the rest so i suspect thats my problem coil pack .

the other thing that could be is the igniter thats why i'm keen to do a swap with a known good coil before i go and buy 1 .

so blukie let me know if u want to do the swap that way we both will be sure and then we can buy new ones . i can get them trade price as well .

BTW - forget the workshop manual test of measuring resistance across the terminals to determine the shot coil.

I've had plenty of bad coils "pass" this test. Substitute one at a time with a known good unit and go for a thrash (is full boost) to determine which one is playing up.

If you have more than one coil failure - replace them all as they are all probably shot due to age, overheating etc.

Easier said than done, dude.

It's several hundred, probably close to $1,000 for a set of Splitfires.

True - not cheap, although they're coming down in price now (around the $750 mark). I spent so much time messing around with mis-fires and being caught out with sh!tty coils on cruises, track days etc that I bit the bullet.

Keep your original coils and sell the SPlitfires off separately when you sell your ride. Should still be able to get a half decent price for them used (I know I couldn't find any used ones!)

I suggest before any purchases to read this thread

it has helped my misfire problem and its been months. I also had the spark arc out of the coils its all fixed now.

Why? Spitfires are total overkill in a fairly mild street car.

There are coil packs that come up on here every so often, and a wrecker may be able to help you out. Just make sure you get the right type as they are different between the series 1, and series 1.5 onwards due to the slightly different ignition setup on each.

Failing that, check this thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=29852 contact dAVE and pray he still has the ones you need
