I tried but wouldnt work with neo head. Perhaps my coils were slightly different. Ended up mounting then on the exhaust cam cover using the gm leads.

You have to set your dwell correctly or it will misfire.

There's really not much to it. :no:

Use the boots and contact springs from stock coilpacks (i think i had to stretch the springs slightly), sit the coilpacks where they are happy and have good contact with the plugs, then make brackets to hold them in place.

From my build thread:

Had a couple of hours today to dick around with the coilpacks..

Grabbed some old boots of some stock RB coilpacks and found they fit nicely over my LS2 truck coilpacks I have. Standard these are a 'Coil Near Plug' which means they are designed to have a small lead from pack to plug. With the contact spring pulled from the RB coilpacks, stretched slightly, they fit perfectly over the electrode in the LS2 coil so I can run these on the plugs. The contact spring compresses about 5mm once the coilpack is in place on top of the plug. Should work OK. I wrapped some electrical tape around them just to keep them in place and give it a bit of strength.

Heres how they sit.

And some brackets I made up which will hold them all firmly in place, just need to pick up some more nuts and bolts.

This is funny. Just today my father was mentions this to me. Now im seeing it here. Well what are the advantages of going with a setup like this. Is it cost.

Cost. They are heaps cheaper.

Somewhat performance. They are substantially more powerful coils. But guys make big power with stock coils so that's not the main reason.

The dwell needs to be set higher (5ms) or else they won't perform as well as stock coils.

Aren't you in the states? They would be cheap as over there.

Here we can buy 8 new coils for 280 aussie dollars.

I have them in my neo, using stock ls leads they are mounted on the exhaust cam cover.

Yes I am in the states. I figured that it would have been a cost thing. But compared to the stock GTR coils what your saying is they are a way better coil performance wise and obviously cost wise. Im running a power fc in all my cars so I should be able to set the dwell settings. Im going to need coils for one of my build. I willing to give this a try. I also ahave a tig welder. So making the bracket to hold them down would be easy.

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
