Modded coil pack covers!!! - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

JayR33 · 17th August 2012, 04:19 PM

Hi all been trying to gather info on keeping the coil packs and amp cool or atleast reduce the heat. Searched a bit but found no pics. Any recommendations on what you guys have done ie: raised the amp or took off the cover. I am after a good look whilst good cooling at the same time.
Pics would be great if you guys have some.

you could get one of these

only seen 3 in japan for sale and we bought 2

one just been fitted to a 32 which is arriving for a GTROC customer

Top secret also do a similar modification

JayR33 · 28th August 2012, 06:23 PM

shame you never buy anything from us lol

SPEED MERCHANT · 28th August 2012, 11:30 PM

I like my kidneys where they are, so don't wish to have sell one first

Besides, I did buy that re-useable oil filter which has done swimmingly for the last few years!

BaKaJin · 29th August 2012, 02:28 AM

How much do those TopSecret bracket cost? and where do you install that exactly? I'm ordering some stuff from TopSecret right now, might need to add that

HeavyDuty · 3rd September 2012, 10:15 PM

Man, do I feel stoopid, I need to raise the hood & have a look. Do those brackets raise the ignitor off the valve cover?

That's what I was guessing... A pic of the bracket installed would be awesome

+1 very interested

I remember reading about it in one of those import mags.
It also was done with coolant vs water wetter.
Which or course water wetter had the most significant drops in temperature.
But no coil pack was mentioned.
I daily drive mines with the cover on(oem).
Race it with out and 2.5 hood spacers.
I know for fact that it helped my water temps.
Never checked the coils since I never had a issue gap at .28 and using splitfire coil packs and my old ignition booster.
