| its a direct swap over, only a couple of bolts and a plug (which is bolted on as well) think its 7mm by memory... series 2 coilpacks are alot better than the series 1, definitely go ahead wih it |
Cheers,

| the only thing with swaping them is that the lead setup is different on the s2 to the s1 coil lead set up |

just to inform you guys, there is no real benifit from changing to series 2 coilpacks, other than they are 3 seperate units, compared to the 1 block unit of the S1, people usually notice a differance in power coz there original S1 coil packs were shagged in the beginning.

| just to inform you dano84, there is a reason y you should change the coil pack to a s2, reason being is on the s1 coil packs if it packs up its done and ya car is no more! the s2 coil packs being 3 units like you said will compensate for the other if 1 side of the unit sh1ts it self, hence its more of a reliability feature! no power would ever be gained from changing your coilpack ! |

| sorry trizo, i came across wrong. you are dead right, im just sick of people saying they get a bigger power gain with a S2 coil pack. so for reliability reasons the S2 is better, that is all |

| Trizo, you said about the lead set up? I'd like to know. I thought I would need the S2 module underneath? Just wondering as I have 6 coils from VS's and presumed I couldn't use them on the S1 module? Would be excellent as I reckon my coils are slowly dying. |

| I'm not sure how you would go with the vs coils as far as I know there not interchangable, but if ya get it to work I,d more than interested to find out how! |

| Dunno, I thought the S2-VS were the same type of coil? Anyone got any more info on this? I'm keen now to have a look at the S1 base and perhaps try the VS coils anyway. It might work, I'm thinking maybe using an acrylic/alloy block as a spacer to give room for the primary tags under the coils. Need to have a look at how the old coil block is wired. Got a day off this week, I'll have a look at it then and see what the deal is and let you's know. |

TeeHee... Even if the engine burst into flames and the fuel tank blew the back end off the car it would only be 1% of what the car has been through over the years, HA HA! MANY long stories, had to be there...
Seriously -if I don't think it'll work 100% I won't proceed past looking at it. I don't have the time or cash to replace a wiring harness etc. thats why I'd use the bits I've already got. |

I dont like being taken for a tool. Like I said hit it then and you get back to me if I wrong I'll eat a $100 note and post it on utube! and that was the vs coils onto a vn s1 module was that right? lmfao!

| WTF? No offence meant or assumptions about your knowledge made here! I know the VS coils will not be interchangeable with the S1 base. Never suggested they would be. I only presumed the S2&VS coils could be interchangeable as I have no actual facts to base that on. My VN cost me $800 -NO cash will be spent on seeing if I can get it to work. Just some time. Any effort I spend doing anything on my car I see as learning. Haven't lifted the bonnet yet, and if it doesn't look like it will work, I won't try for fear of buggering something. Laugh your a$$ off all you like, broad shoulders on me. I wasn't laughing at you at all, only me and the s#!t my car has been through with the last owner and while I've had it. So very sorry if I have caused any offence. |

lol dont stress m8 maybe I come across wrong! But like a sed give it a go I'd be interested in seeing if it works , to b honest I have never tryed it for the fact it wont work but there is always room to be proven wrong! And dude I didnt take offence , I have a harsh way of explaining things ... you will get used to me  |
