Duffy's 1/71 Series 1 240z build

[duffymahoney]

What do you mean? They have built in igniters. 3 wire. Ground, positive and trigger. 

[wheee!]

Yes. Smart coil design. Two wire systems need a separate igniter.

Sweet! They look better than my d585’s

I don't know anything about this stuff... What's a "smart coil"? Is that one that handles things like dwell and saturation current by itself?

2nd highest tested coil on the market

Sounds neat. Is there a test report on the web you can point us to?

Bracket is done! I need to test a plug. But I think they will clear. Pretty darn happy with it. 

[wheee!]

Looks sharp!

Looks good. Will be interesting to see if the harness plugs will go on and off easily

It will be tight, but you don’t need a lot of room for the connectors. My set up didn’t give a lot of room for the connectors either. In fact, you learn that there’s not a lot of room for this whole project and you wind up doing three versions before something works right. I must say I am really digging this because of the use of the smart coils and the clean look of these R35 coils compared to my D-585. 

 

[wheee!]

I agree. My COP rail is the third version and the orientation of the plugs for the connectors was a consideration. In the end, I still feel there is quite a bit of room though.

Whee. That’s a great looking setup!

 

I would guess the plug clears. But I should know this am.

Thanks!  I built mine further away from the block for two reasons: I wanted to ensure the COPS were far away from the heat of the block, and secondly, I wanted to 'balance' the look of the engine bay so the intake wasn't out of place. The COP manifold also hides a lot of the unsightly hoses and wiring on the passenger side of the engine.
