Okay, I am sure this has been covered, but I searched it and came up with nothing. Have had two coils let go so far and am thinking that second hand they are to untrustworthy and genuine they are too pricey when I know that they will let go again. The car has been sold (to my mother, I am gelous) but I am still looking after it for her (read also driving for now) what coils are good and what are they generally worth? The car is not likely to get any more boost or mods.

if your looking to replace just the broken coils...then maybe ask ur local nissan dealer for the original coils..otherwise if ur looking to buy a set of 6...then get the pricing from nissan and compare with a set of brand new splitfires afaik the splitfires are a better choice in terms of reliability and price

I'd try the diy section on how to mend broken coils first...with any luck it may just be a minor crack as what happened to mine...cost me $20 to repair and my car now idles smoothly and can hold 10psi boost without any dramas.

afaik splitfires are exactly the same as OEM but cheaper by the half dozen if you use any of the SAU sponsors rather than a nissan dealer.

Not 100% correct there.

Splitfires are blue, OEM are black. The blue color makes them give more power, remember :P

Seriously, they are the same as OEM, just fark loads cheaper.

      Started sifting thru my brakes to decide which ones I will run on Clem   Made me think I should just put them all on Silver...for when brake fade just isn't an option   Should be able to bump rotor up from 343x32 to 348x36 off Supra. Not sure if the Supra annulus is right for the Alcons or APs but trying g to find a used Supra\M4 rotor to test fit The Alcons seem to gain 1-2mm clearance which all helps

      HR34 GT speedo issue

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Probably speedometer itself if the odometer is ticking. If the needle is stuck from a bit of grease or something that can cause it to stay at 0. Or a cracked solder joint in the speedometer can do it too.

      WTB RB25 Gearbox NSW / central west

      Thanks Fella’s   to take this off topic and to elaborate a bit more. I have an rb25/30 going into a r32 GTST.. expected to make around 600-700hp. Would you?   A) R34 GTT box   B) CD00#?  I’ve seen a few posts about the CD swap and sounds fairly involved with making it fit etc but if it’s worth the work then I’ll go that way

      Lower at the hubs. Funny I forgot to mention that part. Do this pull here I turned the camera off too soon but the graph shows a drop at the top and that was because the pipe from the turbo blew off. The tuner said we could’ve made possibly another 15 whp. He also added if I switched to ethanol we could up the boost some more as well. I was comfortable capping it at the most of 20 pounds. Turns out the turbo pipe just needed a new worm clamp. Got home replaced that then did a third gear pull from 3k to 7200 rpm and the power was great to the top. I just got an ecu mounting bracket from IEE that I need to try and get everything to fit well. It’s a PITA to get the harness and ecu fit properly behind that kick plate
