When I go to the Pinnacale Nissan website to buy an ignition coil it lists a coil for the left side and a coil for the right side of the engine. A V-6 in a front wheel drive has a front "bank" and a rear, it does not have a left and right. I need to replace the number 6 coil which is on the rear bank, is that the left or right? I`m confused.

Here is what it looks like on their page.

IGNITION COIL, Maxima, Right, Hanshin 95-99


IGNITION COIL, Maxima, Right, Mitsubishi 95-99


IGNITION COIL, Maxima, Left, Hanshin 95-99


IGNITION COIL, Maxima, Left, Mitsubishi 95-99

 

L and R looking from the "front of the engine" so if you look at the pulleys on the "front" rear bank is left, front bank is right

 

Thanks.....

 

excellent info above, I also know (read somewhere) in your standing in front of the car (the headlights) cylinder 2,4,6 are directly in front of you and behind those closer to the fire wall are 1,3,5.

just some extra info.
