Hi,

Just wondering how you can determine the difference between a S1 and S2 R33 GTST ignitor coils?

I've read the S2 are slightly different. If anyone has any pics of a S1 and S2 ignitor coil could you please post them or put a link to them.

Reason why i ask is because I'm pretty sure i need new ignitor coils but I am unsure if my motor is a S1 or S2 even though the car is a S2 (just the thought of an engine replacement).

Thank you.

Regards

Steve

I know the coils on the s2 "piggyback" a metal mounting system, as such to prevent shorting out from cracking the coils from over tightening. pretty sure with the series one's each coil is one assembly made entirely of plastic, hence the possibility of cracking. I think cracking is more or less impossible on the s2's, given their design. and yeah, no ignitor box, just a connector (at the rear of the valley cover).

That's from my small amount of experience. hope that helps with your diagnosis.

Hi,

I've taken out my coils but I left my camera elsewhere but my coils look exactly like the ones in the pics on page 2 or 3 of the "missfire @ 4500rpm" thread". Is that enought to distinguish a S1 or S2 motor?

Also from looking in the engine bay, cannot see a little black box on top of the valley cover but it could just be me not knowing what i'm looking for. Any more help would be great.

Thanks

Regards

I don't think there is any apparent physical difference between the 2 types.

At the rear of the valley cover, there may be 4 bolt holes. This is where the ignitor should ordinarily sit if you are running S1 coils and an ignitor. If you just have 4 bolt holes, then you are more than likely running S2 coils.

I have mine out ATM (engine being re-built), so I'll try and remember to get a part number or something off them tonight (they are the in-built ignitor type, but from a Stagea).

S1 and S2 coils are all like that, even RB20 coils.

The cracking is nothing to do with overtightening, they crack b/c the plastic becomes fatigued and brittle from age and the temperatures under the cover.

The reason why there are less S@ R33's and R34's with cracked coils is b/c they are newer. This problem is not isolated to Skylines, it can happen to any coil on any car.

Ic... well yeah as i said i dont have much experience, that's just what i deduced from pics i'd seen of coils on other models, and that people said they could crack if you overtightened them :confused: sorry if I gave anyone a bum steer.

I just ran the exact same search I did this morning, and now it came back with results.... go figure. but yeah I always find it's easier for the people helping you if you post a linkie :D

RB25DET coils don't appear to have a Nissan Part#. Only marking I can find (remember, these are off a Stagea RB25DET) is:

HANSHIN

MCP-1330

RB20DET coils appear to be Nissan P/N 22433-60U02

      Photo of manifold showing gate location? I mean, it's 6Boost, so we probably shouldn't be worrying, but always wroth knowing what the layout is. Plumbed back to atmosphere? Or into the dump?

      Yes correct. Also, I'd avoid applying it to soft paint (however I doubt you'll ever have to deal with it in practice). So any paint that hasn't fully hardened, could be a 1k paint that never fully hardened or it could be a 2k paint that was laid down thick and hasn't yet fully hardened.

      Bit of an update to this one. Having some issues on the dyno that held us back (boost spiking) and I want to pass some info over you guys and see what you think is wrong with my setup. The current readout on this dyno is 462rwkw on a low reading dyno so keep in mind it is a real world 500rwkw setup on a hub dyno. Don't read into the power figure too much as a sign of the issue. The short and curly of it is: 2.8 Litre Racepace build RB25 NEO N/A Head with VCT (internally standard however ) Borgwarner EFR 8474  Turbosmart 50mm Straight Gate + Mac valve 6Boost Manifold 4" dump to full 4" exhaust (nil restrictions) Wastegate plumbed back in and all angles in the exhaust system are acceptable and not too sharp. GFB SV52 BOV in cooler piping  Turbosmart BOV in EFR Housing   The issue we are having is it comes onto full boost for example at 4000rpm and spikes to 24/25psi, before dropping down to 17psi before slowly rising back up to the target boost of 23psi. It was extremely uncontrollable and the tuner actually had to ramp in boost progrssively with each 1000rpm on each boost setting we selected to try and reduce the amount of spiking. Sometimes we would see a drop of 10psi from the peak at the beginning of the run, to the low, until it took the next 500-1000rpm to stabilise back up to the target boost. The tuner is pretty confident that the straight gate is just a poorly designed product and leaks too much boost upon cracking the gate open and theres no way to fix it other than going to a poppet valve. He's also confient theres no ignition breakdown or floating valves. The fueling is extremely stable as well. Turbo speed is somewhere around the 109,000rpm area. The spanner in the works for me is that prior to this Borgwarner and StraightGate, the car was tuned on -5 twins at a diferent tuner, and he also had issues controlling the boost with it spiking around the same rpm range, so to me this sounds like the same issue and it can't be anything on the turbo side as this was all changed and I think the behaviour is extremely similar, if not the same. We also removed the mac valve and did a run on wastegate pressure and it still spiked and had the same behaviour. My thoughts on possibilities are: Boost Leak VCT Cam Gear isn't reliably activating consistently - (On this however, we did a run with the VCT disabled and the boost still spiked) Turbosmart BOV is not handling the boost? However this seems unlikely to not be able to handle 20psi. I have a couple of logs that I can't make sense of if anybody knows how to read them and can obtain further logs of other parameters if they are not enough, happy to pay for anyones time. The dyno readout with the power figure is the most recent last week. The other picture is from two weeks prior to that where we couldn't break 400kw (we removed the cat), however the issue of the boost control persisted. @Lithium @Piggaz @burn4005 @GTSBoy @discopotato03 I've tagged those that were quite active in recent pages here, no disrespect to those that know turbos well but I missed tagging.

      Infiniti Q60 Navigation Update

      By Chocolate Cheesecake. · Posted

      I recently purchased a 2018 Infiniti Q60, which has an SD card navigation map. I can see my system has options for real time traffic updates etc, and am wondering if there is something I can purchase to get this working? I can see there are at least updated maps for USA and Canada, but nothing for Australia. Surely Infiniti took changing road systems and city expansions into account when they decided to use an inbuilt navigation over Android Auto/Apple Car Play, or are we doomed to drive on streets that don't exist in the navigation system if you drive to a new area?
