Anybody know if I can swap 95 coil packs for my 92? Not as a permanent fix, but just to check to see if that's the problem. I don't have the cash for a digital volt meter at the moment(starving engineering student), so I can't test the resistence. I just want to put them on momentarily to see if it resolves my problem, and to know if the coil packs are indeed the problem before I start searching for more expensive fixes...thanks for looking...

 

i dont think the conectors will be the same but you could try i dont know anyone whos tried this but im thinkin its proboly not going to work

 

Where are you getting the 95 coil packs from. Unless you have the 95 coil packs readily available the money you will spend buying these coil packs you can use that to buy a DVOM. It doesn't have to be a Fluke meter, Sears have meters starting a $25 or less which will do. I don't mean to start **** but how can you be a engineering student (starving or otherwise) and not have a volt meter, that's like a mechanic not having a 14mm socket.

 

First off, I'm an Industrial Engineer...we deal with forces, not circuits...therefore I really have no need for a voltmeter for anything other than my car at this point in time. The coil packs are off of my sister's 95...the connections to the harnesses are the same, but the screw on connections are completely different...I was just going to strap those down long enough to go up and down the road...

 

Industrial, mechanical, chemical (or whatever) engineer I would think a engineer would have a basic volt meter. But you are correct on one think, I have no idea what it consist of to be a Industrial Engineer Since you have your sisters 95 available you would have a better idea if her coils would fit with both cars sitting in front of you. But I did understand your question, you were just curious to know if any of us (3rd gen VE) ever tried using a 4th gen coil pack. To be honest I don't think any of us ever tried, but maybe you can be the first pioneering industrial engineer to do so. Dont get all bent of out shape, if my post rub the industrial engineer (who deals with forces) the wrong way let me be the first to say "I'm so sorry"

 

I saw some coil packs for a 3rd gen on ebay; part #2437091719.

 

if you think that your electrical system is worth playing russian roulette with then go ahead and give it a shot. Knowing Nissan they are probabally the same just with different brackets but ask Kaleb I bet he would know the answer.
