I was having problems with my coils in that they were breaking down under load whether from cracks in the casing of the coils or just coils on the way out so I called around to get pricing for new coils

Nissan New standard coils $1200.00 a set

Splitfires $600.00 a set

or the option I chose 6 X MEC717 Bosch coils $250.00 and Leads $50.00

here are some pictures it still utilises the standard ignitor.

My friend is responsible for the wiring up of them (Auto Electrician)

this was very easy to do and fit.

and it has performed faultlessly since fitting

i have seen this set up on one of the skylines in the HPR mags and they said it worked good but only if you change the leads very often

but i cant see why that is?

and yes please give detaila on the wireing set up would love to see how he set it up!

Sorry peoples I cannot be any help with a wiring diagram but as you can see from the photos we used the standard ignitor and just had to find the negative and positive from the orginal plugs for the coil packs and then connect them to the Bosch Coils.

Since fitting the coils I have had no problems with Leads they have been fine.

I have also Dyno tested the car since fitting the coils and there has been no loss of power at all so I have yet to find a negative side to the fitment of the coils.

also a added bonus is that if at a later date a MSD is required for additional spark it can be wired in with these coils for BIG boost.

Some of the guys in Qld have been playing with a similar concept but using the redundant spark twin outlet setup as on V6 commo's.

Still looks good and damn good price. A set of quality Eagle leads shouls last a long time at around $80 for the set if the current ones start to have issues.

Wiring this should be fairly easy if you think about it.

  • Like 1

the motor is a series 1 RB25

coils from Conventry Auto's Smithfield (SYD)

but you can source them from any auto1, Autobarn etc

Bosch MEC717 coils

Leads cost $50.00 for the set from Auto1

Satanic, my mate and I put everything together so no website or number

yeah man we love the stuff but we just dont know how to wire it all up

what im saying is that if your mate can draw something i would be happy to pay for him to do it so many people can do the same as you and get the good result!

I agree with let me drive, i would love this set up.

Can satanic draw something up.

I have looked at other coil packs ie.GDZ1LA coil packs.

But there is a bit of messing about to get one of these to go on a seris 1(re-wiring of ignitor to an r32 ignitor).

Where as this set up looks reasonably straight forward.

If you guys worked it out you should be able to draw it?

the wire diagram for the whole set up

even a rough drawing of what you did which wire to where or even get a lot more photos and then we might be able to work out whats going on in the wireing. thanks

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
