Well the dyno didn’t quite go according to plan, the car didn’t blow up or anything stupid thankfully but it had a really bad spark break up.

the blue line is the 2.6 6466 and the red is the 2.8 6870

At least i got to drive the car home which is the first time since Xmas 2020. Luckily a friend was nice enough to lend me his coils for me to test and it fixed the problem

It turns out the old type prp stalks are well known for being an issue so I replaced all the stalks with the new type and the new bracket to suit and that should be job done

So you're saying the original bracket can't be used anymore with the new stalks?

I reckon I have the same issue, considering I have R35 coils too, I need to gap the plugs under 0.5mm to stop blow out at 1.8bar of boost.

Yes the bracket is different and needs to be changed as well

0.5mm is a horribly low gap; I know we don't modify these cars for fuel economy but you are leaving a lot of burn efficiency behind to run a gap that small. Standard is 1.1mm

Is it a height difference or the hole is different?

Keen to know, and I'm sure others would like to ask well.

The hole that the coil drops into is bigger and has a taper on it as an extra way of holding the boot on

Aids, need a new kit pretty much.

They sell just the boots and bracket as a kit so there’s no need to buy new coils or wiring

Been driving it every chance I get, have done just over 350kms and removed the run in oil. It’s is really nice to drive and the flat shift is fun to use. The 6870 isn’t what I would call laggy, without using full throttle I’ve got positive pressure before 3k and cracking the gates around 4k. I’m still on the run in tune which is on 98 and limited at 6,000rpm

    • OK. I can see that being the case. But if you live in the land of "only switching between 4.08, 4.11, 4.36" like most Skyliners, then you never encounter it. Now I perhaps understand why the crownwheel is thicker on some of the smaller numerical ratio diffs. The two stubs being the same (unequal) lengths and just swapped side to side between the different cases is a new one to me. I'm hating Nissan R200s more than ever now.
    • Reason I say this is I have seen broken ones, in drift, drag and even behind a stock Z. I do appreciate most of the time its the synchro's that go.   Trouble with quoting HP is it doesn't really say how strong the box is.  I've not seen many CD00X box's make it past a mid 9(150mph) I have seen about a stock R33 RB25 box's run a 9 too, they all go boom at some point though.   Another clue is they make gearsets for CD00X box's too, wouldn't be a market if they didn't break or have a limit people are going past.   I totally agree it is a strong box, just have to weigh up the true total cost of the conversion vs rebuilding with a good gearset. 
    • What makes you say CD009 boxes are not as strong as you would think? I've always been told the last revision (CD00A) is good for 1000whp and I have no issue's believing it when comparing one side by side with an RB25 box. Makes them look tiny. 
    • I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update 
    • The manual says a lot about the different ratios requiring different shafts. all the Centers are the same but depending on the ratio, this determines the shafts because different ratios need the center to be offset more or less or right to left.
