where can i get a rb20 ignitor??is that what my problem is??

[rbspitfire]

hi i am looking to get an ignitor for an rb20, i think thats what my problem is, i have no spark on #5 cylinder, the coil is fine, when i plug it into another plug it sparks, just not on #5, there isnt 12v going across the ignitor on #5 but there is on all the others

check the faq, i posted up an alternate fix for a dead rb20 ignitor in there.

so carl do i NEED a j30 ignitor or can i retrofit my rb ignitor( if not what did the j30 come in)

You can retrofit either a J30 or a Z32 ignitor (I went with the Z32). But yes you will need the actual ignitor out of either car. I just bought mine new from Nissan.

[rbspitfire]

so if i buy a 300zx ignitor i just move the wires around? would i need one from a turbo or NA?

[rb240det]

Carl has an entire writeup on how to retrofit either ignitor to the RB20...even has the part number for the kit from Nissan. Only took me like 30 minutes to re-pin everything and it worked like a charm.

I've got an RB20 ignitor if you want it. I can have it in the mail monday.

Interested?

[rbspitfire]

i actually just found an ignitor and ordered it, thanks anyway, and thanks to everyone else who helped .

[aemprelude]

[Gold Digger]

you still got the ignitor. if you do i need it

Yeah, I got one. I'll get you a price on it later in the week. Kinda busy at the moment.

Of course it's an RB20 ignitor.

I have a spare RB sitting over here. Anything else that is small that you might need?

BTW...$60 Shipped from Japan to your door.

Two weeks tops.

How soon do you need it. I have an alternate route if needed.

[aemprelude]

ineed it soon but i wanna keep it low on shipping. o yeah just wondering how do you get lucky to work in japan??????

[Carl H]

guys its really not that hard to retrofit a j30 ignitor...

[aemprelude]

i know its not that hard. but if it is cheaper i will go z32 or j30 or rb20. just depends what is cheaper. on the j30 the plugs work you just have to repin right

My wife is JSPEC.

If you want it, I can mail it to you tomorrow. I have it sitting on my kitchen table.

What I would do is send it to Oki and have TMS mail it priority.

EMS is the ****!

EMS is the ****!

Ya know, I hear people talk about EMS all the time, but I don't know what it is. Can you bring me up to date on that, Carl?

Make sure you guys always check your spark plug wiring harness..

I'm on my 3rd one now.. They get old, brittle, exposed to a lot of heat, and they break. I spent way too much money on an ignitor thinking it was the problem.. wound up being the stupid wire harness.

Just something to check..

If you are talking about the wiring harness that goes to the coil packs, I have one of those to if it's needed.

do you still have the sparkplug harness?
