i should be getting a coil from a GTS-t from one of the WA members a bit cheaper. provided the turbo coils are the same for the NA engines.

where can you get replacement springs or 'carbon rods' from? don't they attach inside the coil somehow?

u can get some replacement springs from a Nissan dealership. they just pull in and out off the carbon rod on the inside of the coil pack.

You can get springs from L & T venebles, there's one in Wangara. They're like $2 for a pack of 4.

I used them in my R32. You don't NEED the little carbon bit, it runs fine with just the spring.

and you just pop them in the end? they don't need to be stuck in there? :whatsthat

That will be for the carbon canister, usually located passenger side, just in front of the (standard) air box.

mm it comes out of there and over the engine but doesn't attach to anything else. even though it has a clip on the end as if it had been attached to something.

SECUR1TY: can't see any carbon rod in there either :D its all just white dust etc

i'll have to double check them tonight i think.

dont worry about the carbon rods.. my bad

just stretch your springs slightly and get a little dremil drill with a sander attachment and sand away the layer of shit on the inside of the coil where the spring sits in to a nice shine.

you'll be amazed on how much crap comes out of it.. all that crap causes misfires on everyones car because it doesnt allow for a good contact between the coil and the spring... and then they go out and spend $700 on splitfires.. this is definately a good fix for it. mine have been running excellent since i did it.

haven't had time to get hold of springs or a dremel yet but managed to get a coil pack which i put in last night.

was slightly different to my others and the plug didn't quite fit properly, managed to rejig it and connect it but it still sounds like a wrex :)

so i've pulled it out again.

no idea why it didn't work, perhaps due to it not fitting correctly.

i think now i'll just get someone out to look at it, don't want to do more harm than good.

well.. a coil for another engine wouldnt work, i imagine.

completely different application.

give the sanding a go before you take it anywhere. go to any nissan dealer for the springs or even a wrecking yard

the coil pack was from an R33 GTS-t which i was informed is the same as mine.

the guy looking at it tomorrow is currently putting an RB25 into a 200sx so he should know his way around ok.

    • I might have to shoot them an email. Pity the exchange rate is so bad at the moment. BTW, thanks for posting that table makes interesting reading. 
    • Add these Sensors -Wideband, Oil Pressure, Fuel pressure, Intake air temp Good inspection of ignition system of coils, plugs and loom (12v feed and good ground)- a r35 kit is best bang for buck upgrade. A decent tuner should be able to see any issues with the trigger system- a link has good filtering but a good simple upgrade is the nz wiring bolt in kit. Check and replace all the fuel filters- you would be surprised at intank filter after a few years. Also good to check for any leaks on vac hoses and pipe work as has been said. No need to go overboard and spend big $$$ to enjoy the car. A quality tuner is getting harder to find as anyone with a laptop thinks they are a tuner. A link has great features to check sensor voltages and frequency inputs and easy to see live by pressing f12. The link can do a TPS & RPM fuel/ignition mapping on ITB cars then add a 4D table with MAP and ability to add a 5D to it (can help with economy at cruise with wheel speed vs TPS) Where are you located as that will help narrow down a good tuner ?
    • Reviving an old thread, I reckon my stagea is starting to slip. Car usually gets parked on a hill, narrow driveway so cant go up the driveway smoothly, anyhows, lately first gear feels "sluggish"? Not responsive. Feels like I gotta run the engine more than usual to get off the line...  Any recommendations for transmission servicing in Sydney? Or possibly just an excuse to go manual ?
    • Well, moulded carpets should fit well if the buck they use is the right shape. The finish is then just a case of stiching the trim around the edges. Shuoldn't be too hard to get it right. Back in the day, replacement carpets were all "fitted", in that they were stitched together, with cuts and slices taken out to make them form the shapes. Many more opportunities to get it wrong, hence all the concern over good vendors and bad vendors.
