What Does an Ignition Coil Do?

The ignition coil is a critical component of your vehicle's ignition system that transforms the battery's low voltage (typically 12 volts) into the high voltage (thousands of volts) needed to create a spark at the spark plugs. This high-voltage spark ignites the air-fuel mixture in the combustion chamber, powering the engine. In high-performance forced induction engines like the VR38DETT, the ignition coil must deliver a strong, consistent spark even under high cylinder pressures created by the twin-turbocharger system. The engine control unit (ECU) precisely times when each ignition coil fires to ensure optimal combustion timing for maximum power, fuel efficiency, and emissions control. A properly functioning ignition coil is essential for reliable engine starting, smooth operation, and optimal performance — especially critical in a high-output engine like the GT-R's VR38DETT.

Installation Notes

Professional installation is recommended for best results. Ignition coil replacement on the R35 GT-R requires disconnecting the battery, removing the engine cover, locating the ignition coils on the cylinder head, disconnecting the electrical connectors, and removing the mounting bolts. Install the new ignition coil and torque the mounting bolts to manufacturer specifications. Reconnect the electrical connector. Clear any diagnostic trouble codes and test drive to verify proper operation. Consider replacing spark plugs at the same time for optimal ignition system performance. Note: The VR38DETT uses six individual coil-on-plug ignition coils — one per cylinder.
