Wiring is easy in a S2 skyline due to the built in ignightor.....

But location of the coil packs will be more interesting as i have that much crap under the bonnet....

I dont want to run huge leads either due to vd (voltage drop) but yeah i have ordered the parts and will try....

Well its a different kettle of fish as you have ignightor pack at the rear of your tappet cover.... But still easily do able.... You just need coils to suit.... On the down side the non-ignightor coils are more dollars....

Ill let you know how i go

I read the whole website... Looks like a great money spinner for him as he has a number of project cars.... Good on him..... However its not an upgrade is just a replacement alternative....

Also the coil packs he uses need an ignightor so wont souit S2 skyline with out extras....

So not suitable for me personally....

Good luck with the remote set up Col.

Personally, I am throwing mine in the bin and getting some splitfires.

Mine is on an RB20 so seperate ignitors but its been nothing but grief all the same. The coils used were three doubles I beleive are standard fitment on the VN holden with some Bosch ignitors.

No word of a lie it has failed on me minimum 8 times and the car is sitting in the garage now with yet another melted coil pack. First two times I thought it was the tuner but it has been looked at by other mechanics , auto elecs ( rewired twice) and reps for Autronic and it just keeps on melting. Also spoke to somebody in NSW with identical engine and setup who had the identical problem and also threw it away.

At the end of the day it might still be a problem that nobody has picked up on or it might just be the coil packs themselves are hopeless but I just have had enough.

I honestly hope you can get yours to run without hiccup and if I can share any advice it would be to be wary of mounting position in relation to heat. Also dont get the whiz bang leads first up, get cheap ones that are longer than you need and use zip ties to mount the coils as you will find you will probably move them around.

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
