Hi,

I am just curious if anyone here has bought their replacement ignition coils from RockAuto. Most places charge around $80 per, but RockAuto is about $56. I'm wondering if there is a catch.

Also, I signed the online petition asking for a recall of the faulty ignition coils. There are over 2700 sigs, so it's proabably a big problem.

Luckily I'm leaving the country and selling my car. Overall I'm not happy with Nissan, I've had every problem in the book that Maximas experience, warped rotors (replaced), auto tranny tsb, engine mounts, ignition coils...

I hate to say it, but if I end up getting another car, it's going to be a cheap, bare bones civic...

Hoooper

were sorry to hear about your loss

bcannon

eh, it was a good car, I'm just pissed right now about having to spend more money on it...

RockAuto is good. I use them once in a while but make sure you know what you are getting. Shipping and handling are the biggest money maker there.

For $56, I'd pay the extra $2 per coil and go with OEM.

Call Dave B.

bcannon

What do you mean? There are only $45 and $56 coils on RockAuto...

Where can I get the OEM for $2 more?

I got all 6 from Dave B at $58 per coil.

888-254-6060 ask for dave burnette tell him ure from the org.

bcannon

thanks, they seem to be closed right now, but I'll check in later and then on monday if I can't reach them today...

bcannon

I called the number, dave wasn't there and they quoted me a price of $99 each, I mentioned that someone on this board got them for $58, and the guy said that price is probably less than they pay for them...

anyone recommend any other stores?

Try www.courtesyparts.com, they have them for around $65.43/ea which is not a bad price.

Sorry about that- I just had surgery yesterday & will be out for a week. If you still need them, call David Barron on Monday & he will get them for you at the correct price of $58.32 each.

bcannon

you da man dave!!

I'll call monday morning...

In case you read this again, I need 2 front and 3 rears...

Just out of curiosity, why not change all 6 instead of 5?

bcannon

bc I had one replaced (the only bad one at the time) when I had my engine mounts replaced...

since then my CEL has come on and they tell me the rest of my ig. coils are bad...

I have an order placed with Courtesy that I did online, I'll cancel with them (if I can) and then call Dave up...

Guys, FYI... the 2002+ SE-R Spec-V coils will work.. the plug is angled a little differently.. but, they do fit.. Just swap over the boot portion to the Spec-V coil, and you get the proper length. The only one that MIGHT not work, is that last plug on the passenger side/rear of the engine, that's angled sorta funny.. I dunno why VQ's are blowing coils up.. the QR guys NEVER have this issue to my knowledge..

I would not go with Rock Auto.

I got mine from Dave B as well, good deal and fast shipping.

bcannon

it ended up that it was too late to cancel with Courtesy, so I'll give them a try, if they fit and work, I'll keep them...

thanks again for the advice...

I had the same symptoms specified in the TSB NTB01-059 and my VIN # complies as well. When i opened and took one look at the currently installed coils, they have the "grey" dot on them already. Does this mean that i already have the corrected version of the ignition coils ? How do i make sure that the coils i have is the bad ones ??
