Any "polite" assistance would be most grateful

I Have only changed them in my R33 Gts25t, but I would assume its the same process for changing them in a R34 Gtt. It is fairley straight forward. There is no re wiring needed. They should plug straight in. I believe I have a walkthrough some where or I have seen one. I will try find it.

I found this one. This is on a gtr but the process should be very similar for a R34 Gtt. Will just need to remove the cross over J Pipe. Also the R34 Gtt Rb25det uses different coils as they do not have a igniter box like the earlier rb25det's, rb20det's and rb26dett. So when you buy them just make sure you get the correct ones. The Splitfire coil packs do come with instructions but they are in Japanese. They do have pictures though which are easy enough to follow.

Mate I mean this in the politest way possible. If you have to ask about swapping coil packs then you shouldn't be swinging spanners on your car. I say this because it is one of the simplest things to do on a skyline. If you open your bonnet then it would be plain as daylight to see what you have to do. If you have to be walked through it, you are going to need someone to check it afterwards to make sure its reassembled correctly. As far as splitfires go I wouldn't waste my money if the car was to remain stock. If you intend to make a crazy, scary, don't lend this car to your mates kind of skyline then do get them but until then don't waste money. The oem parts will do fine for a completely stock car. If you are in the Perth region I'll come over with my tools and show you how to do it. For free.

honestly as long as you're careful, take your time, make note of stuff as you pull it off and store any nuts and bolts carefully (a, so you don't lose them and b, so they don't fall anywhere they can damage stuff) you'll be fine.

it's a pretty simple job. nothing wrong with being cautious but I say give it a go. you can always ask for help if it's not going right. :)

Don't worry about nathan he must be in a mood. Definately have a shot at changing coils, save ya self some cash.

Here is a link on changing plugs on an earlier RB25det from a R33 Changing plugs on RB25DET

Definitely go Splitfires too as discussed in your other thread. Not a waste like nathan says. Leaving your shagged coils in is a waste of money

You will have an engine cover and as said will not have ignitor module on top of coilpack cover as some earlier models have. In this tutorial I believe the coils are removed on their mounting bracket together. Instead or removing them all together you will find screws on the coil packs hoding them into the bracket. This way will be better for you. You could get some spark plugs for peace of mind and convenience while your doing coilpacks.

Bahaha. Thats right don't worry. I sound more cranky than I am. I'm not saying leave the stuffed coils in there. I'm just saying that splitfires are twice the cost of stock ones and if the original coils lasted 15 years then new stockers will last another 15 years. No doubt splitfire are better for high performance but simply aren't necessary for a completely stock car. Of course if money is no issue then get the splitfires. I agree with changing the plugs at the same time. I disagree with leaving the coil housings in there and swapping the coils individually. Way to fiddly and likely to drop the little screws in which case would have to remove the lot anyway. I recorded a youtube thingy in which I remove and replace the front 3 coils with one hand on the camera and one hand on the ratchet. I'll add it when its finished uploading. At the end of the day its just advice. You don't have to take it. devil.gif

just a tip, be VERY careful when you are removing the old coil packs and putting the new ones in, the little 8mm bolt can easily fall down and make its way into the timing cover from the back where the timing belt it, if that happens then you have NO choice but to pull appart the front of the engine to take it out, depending how far it goes down. Have seen this happen alot.

Also when you are putting the coil packs in, dont dive in and remove them all in one go, because they all sit a different way, (the plug for the coil loom sits facing the front of the car or the back of the car) disconnect one and make sure which way it goes put the new one in and plug it in, then move onto the next one.

this is not meant to scare you in anyway, just something to look out for so you dont get in trouble.

good luck

This is sound advice. They are good reasons to pull out the coil packs in their housings and do the front 3 one at a time then replace and the back 3 one at a time and replace. Can you imagine a little bolt poking through your timing belt? Yuk.

I am sure that if stockers were half the price of Splitfires there wouldn't be many splitfires sold. OEM coils from Nissan are over $1000 a set here. Can you point me to a good price source for OEM coils - even at the same price as Splitfires I would buy them.

Ok not quite double. The price has dropped a fair bit since I last checked.

Stock coils: http://www.ebay.com....5#ht_500wt_1156

Splitfires :http://www.ebay.com....#ht_2706wt_1139

EDIT: Splitfires aren't comparable to stock coils for price. They are better and cost more. Are you going to put $500 a tyre semislicks on your missus hyundai?

And why would you buy a stock coil for the same price as a splitfire coil? Thats like being offered $20 for free and $50 for free and taking the 20 cos you like the colour red.

Thanks for the link. I'll try to get me an OEM set.

Are you sure? There has been a lot of discussion about this over the years and there is no clear evidence that I have seen.

I'd like to make a bet that new coils OEM or Splitfires will produce the same results.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      By Kinks · Posted

      I did a skidpan night at SMSP this week, it was much cheaper than $350. But yeah, you need to slap an LSD in that thing.  I put an OS Giken in the 370Z and it's f**king MARVELOUS even compared to Nissan's viscous LSD. So you're saying it's free now that it's a housing estate? 😂

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p

      @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months
