Has anyone swapped their coils on a CA or any Nissan for that matter?
I have just replaced my CA coils with new OEM coils and gapped plugs to 0.6mm and still I have a misfire at 1.2bar. I am thinking of changing to MSD or sorts, any ideas?

Re: Upgrading coil packs
Positive to the coils is not an issue, if I supply an external live straight from battery the miss it still there.
Coils are earthed through small wire into head, as stock.
Igniter has earth wire to bolt.
Keep the ideas coming.

Gary way up the costs, I have a set of ignition amplifiers with normal coils on my car and 1.5 bar is not a problem.
Re: Upgrading coil packs
What ignition amp are you running?

Re: Upgrading coil packs
have you checked the resistance between all the cables from ignitor to coils?

I think mine are blue-fire
Re: Upgrading coil packs
It is a brand new wiring loom so I doubt that could be causing the problem.
Is it possible to run MSD coils off the stock igniter?
What is the weakest like, the stock igniter or coils?

Re: Upgrading coil packs
Generally the coils....but if you want...I have an igniter for sale
Re: Upgrading coil packs
I am going to fit LS2 coils with a built in igniter. I will need to make a loom to bridge out the igniter, so how much do you want for it? If you have a buggered one that would be better as I am going to break it to salvage the plugs.

The one I have is working unfortunately, I want R400 for it. Actually called a power transistor
