ive heard of people using VN series 2 coils and AU falcon coils with leads to suit

the leads most likely will need to have a boot on the end where it joins the sparkplug (to 'plug' the hole, just like the coil on plug setup now has that wide rubber flange thing)

go to your local Auto1 or repco and they should be able to help you out (specially if you bring your old coil on plug setup)

dont get VN series 1 coils as it is a single big coil pack, where the series 2 is multiple packs

either that or get some splitfires for the VN series 2 as they are about $75 and some decent leads to suit

do a search in the how to section for wasted spark, its a very every well written article with what you need what you can buy and how to do it, read it then you will have all you need to no to be able to do it

ef coilpack=$105

ef top gun 8mm leads=$30

sparky to wire it up=$50-100 max

ignitor=$80

say roughly $300 worst case..

splitfires=$580 odd from memory double the price?not for me

i know which one is better, ef can run longer dwell then splitfires= better burn= more power

will not over heat due to being able to run away from the cylinder head.

only downside is fitment which isnt hard and the splitfires only thing goin for em is that theyre bolt in. ef coilpack from start to finish max 2hrs.. being an rb25neo would prob have to source a ignitor which is hard.

plenty reason to use an alternative

you'd think that if the coilpacks are such a stupid idea that nissan would have picked up on it instead of manufacturing their rb series engines for over 10 years?

i just replaced mine with spitfires, i figure if the originals lasted 10 years, than the new ones will surely last my time

oh well each to theyre own, nissan enginers a motor that works for the best price as mass production, dont think they do it for whats best for the motor, i realise your thinking behind your purchase, think of this the reason coilpacks fail is because of excesive heat. e.g being bolted to the cylinder head then coverd up. ef allows to remotly mount the coilpack and run a longer dwelltime = more power...

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
