hi, i might be needing to replace my coil packs and would like to get a set that will perform and last... iv noticed that there are the JJR coil packs (which are nicely priced under $400) that iv read and claim to perform as well as splitfire coil packs which people have used for a long time ($500), will the OEM coil packs perform as well as these other two?

would like your feedback or any info on these coil packs or any prefered or recommended brands...

cheers

I recently needed new coilpacks for my car...contemplated getting splitfires but went with the JJR ones instead as they were slightly cheaper...i can't compare them to splitfires as i've never used them but the JJR ones do work ok...they would have to i guess as they are newer than the standard 15-17 year old ones i had...not sure how long they'll last though...for now...its all good...one annoying thing with the JJR ones though is that Just Jap has stuck an annoying brand and details sticker on each of them which is a bit of a pain to remove...regardless...if anyone has any concrete results for the JJR coilpacks it would be nice to see...cheers...

+1 for this, i'm just curious to find out if the jjr's are good for relatively high powered applications i.e. 400kw'ish

i am interested in buying some but would like to see how they perform first... don't know if adequate spark delivery is much of an issue on rb's once u get high power figures

I ran my old factory RB25 coils to 369rwkw. So stock coils (in good condition) are fine, and many cars have made bigger power than me.

I recently just installed RB26 Splitfires for my RB26 setup, only reason is OEM coils are $$$.

JJR ones havent been around anywhere near as long as Splitfires (and other coils like FET), so IMO at this stage its hard to tell on durability under extended periods/conditions.

Its something that i would take into account when looking for parts as cars with Splitfires have been running for a number of years, JJR ones, lucky if its a few months i think they've been around for?

And no, im not in any way saying the JJR product is garbage.

Unless someone knows what re-branded item the JJR ones stem from? Which would provide more info

Or are they made by JJR themselves? :)

Completely agreed. For the extra $100 or so dollars ($510 from Slide or nengun), splitfires have been tried by thousands and you know they can make the power and last. The JJR ones may be just as good or even better, however until they have been tested, i know what i would go for.

any new coils, be they jjr or splitfires, are going to be better than old ones that are arcing out.

the jjr ones are probably ones that they have had made copying splitfires. unless you are chasing big horsepower i'd say they would be fine. if you are only running 250kw or below they would be more than ample if your stock ones aren't up to the job.

yeah, chinese stuff isn't that bad these days (depending). in the bike industry a very large portion of stuff comes from china, most of it good. it is actually the companies that specify what they want the determine whether it is good or not. if they want it to be cheap it will be crap, but if they are willing to pay a bit more they will get good stuff. it is just that there are a lot of people that are getting the cheapest made stuff they can in order to make maximum profit. which means a lot of people buy stuff, and it breaks, which then makes people think that all chinese made stuff is crap. but now china is starting to get expensive so people are going to india and indonesia and vietnam to get things made. taiwan used to be the cheap crap stuff but now it is where better stuff is made.

... in the bike industry a very large portion of stuff comes from china, most of it good.

Don't agree with this statement. All the stuff I've seen from China has been lower quality than the Japanese made stuff. 1/2 the price for sure. And China may make thousands of motorbikes but not that many make it into Australia.

Aftermarket gear they close the gap somewhat, but I won't in general buy china made electronics or important components.

I've got set of jjr coils in my car running 16psi

My std coils used to misfire a little bit with a 0.65mm gap

Opened the gap back to 0.8 with the new ones and no more misfire

Picked up a little off boost power too, from the seat of the pants dyno :worship:

And with a 1 year warranty they're not bad for the price

Very hard to tell just where parts are made these days!!!

Just cos' it has Nike written all over it----------doesn't mean a thing.

You can get parts from USA, Phillipines, Taiwan, China, Korea, Japan Thailand and it could have HKS, Blitz, Chev, Holden, Nissan, Toyota, NEC, LG..........you name it on the label. The parent company controls the quality [or attempts to], but that doesn't mean that other manufacturers can't do the same.

This thread will be a good read. Im thinking of going with these JJR coils when I go back to coil on plug. unless I just replace the commodore coils with MSD ones......seriously thinking of going the JJR option though.

had one of the guys who drops into the workshop use the JJR's and claim that he could run plugs gapped at 1.1 on em like they were 0.8's... that's something standard's can't do, and mean that they do pack a bit of a wallop. they're starting to sound like a real good alternative/performance upgrade.

i guess we might have to wait for a magazine to do a test or something to really know how they perform against each other, as said above some people are a bit iffy when it comes to chinese products but also as said above some of the chinese performance parts are proven to be a good option being a direct replacement of performance upgrade...

does anyone know what the OEM coil packs are priced at???

    • I am getting the same issue. Did you resolve it? I just got it after installing my new super coppermix and literally the same issue, new fork, new 18mm carrier, release bearing that came with the kit and replicated the exact same sound. 
    • If you like - I have the STL files so I can email em. There's a couple of gotchas (i.e the holes are not threaded so you might need/will need) to utilize some M3 melt-in threads for some of the points. However if you want to be super accurate, and are willing to remove your calipers and your SHOCKS it's a really good tool. You also might need to scale the part that measures the tyre width a bit wider. It defaults to a 7.5in tyre and I mean who is running that. Luckily with the magic of CAD this is very easy to rescale.
    • jeebus. glad you weren't under it while performing the stunt. Also thanks for the link to the wheel measurer, exactly what I needed
    • In the older stuff there were very significant differences 2wd to 4wd, for example Stagea had strut front end for 2wd and double wishbone for 4wd so it was not minor to swap. From poking around the 2wd v37, it *looks* like it might be more possible; some of the parts specifically have "2wd" stamped on them which suggests the platforms are more similar. You'd still want to start with a 4wd half cut to swap stuff from though. I'd suggest if you don't have a tune on the ECU you don't really need one on the trans either. Throttle mapping is in the ECU side (and you can always use a Roar Pedal if you want the throttle to actually respond to your foot), and really if you are happy with the stock power you probably accept the stock trans behaviour too....its all made to be "sporty" not racey.
    • So, updates. I have not washed the car since it came back from Tassie. I've driven it around a bit but not got around to actually sorting it out. I DID raise it because I cracked the rear bar leaving a hotel which was very distressing. Interestingly, the car drives more compliant now that it's raised a fair bit (5mm front, 15mm rear). Also noticed that my FR height was 10mm lower than FL. So that's now sorted out, too. I also bought this and had it printed: https://www.etsy.com/au/listing/1576422240/wheel-and-tire-fitment-tool-universal?ref=shop_home_feat_1&dd=1&logging_key=08f604d9fa4cc383550ba985e6ac85cd5cac7fbb%3A1576422240 Now, if I was smart I would have taken my brake calipers off to actually use this correctly but it was evident enough to me that in the region where the caliper was... there was nothing to hit suspension/guard/arm wise. So I'm going with "it'll be fine" after using the tool to hopefully very precisely measure the wheel clearance. Also while doing this, I had the very VERY bad idea of jacking one of the wheels/suspension arms up while the rest of the car was on jack stands. I did this to see how the arm would travel. This all was well and good until the car slid off the stands and went through a fence. So don't do that. Incredibly nobody was hurt and there was only minor damage to the rear bumper as the car didn't have far to slide, and had 3-4 wheels on it. The only damage turned out to be the fence itself which was easy to fix, and a little bit of damage to the fibreglass rear bumper trim. I had already planned to try a touch up paint kit to fix the time I drove into my garage door to see if it'd help in the interim before I get it fixed properly. I used the Dr Colorchip kit after looking online and seeing everyone talking about it. Yes it's made for chips and not huge broken missing pieces and I'll be 500% recommending it for stone chips after using it for stupid things like me. This took about ... 10 minutes and looking at the half assed photo the 30 second job I did on the bumper corner was almost perfect just by using the tiny little brush and painting it in. The sealact stuff to remove over-painting is really useful, so if/when I do it again I'll likely slather the touch up paint well over it and then clean it up with the cleaning solution. The wheels should arrive in a couple of weeks. I am still kinda confident after doing a stupid amount of measuring (and borrowing a set of 18x10.5+15) that they will not fit because I overlooked something, somehow and flew too close to the sun. ALSO R34 GTR guard liners do not fit on a GTT. I bought the undertray brake duct guides and had the wonderful problem of them not fitting my intake, my oil cooler and the liners themselves were even worse. Attempting to fit them won't work in general - You would have to cut them up as another poster mentioned as the bodywork is different on the GTT. At least I can try to resell them. So instead of cutting those up, I cut up my old already-cut-up GTT liners and extended them by using some PP plastic and drilling some 8mm holes for some nissan clips for the 'extra' bit. Because I was happy to cut them I was able to mount them pretty damn forward so I now have some semblance of guard liners, and the brake vents seal the bumper from the bottom. It sort-of-looks like this, to give some idea - If you look at the GTR and then the GTT this is when I realised that I needed to seriously measure as the inside of the rim area is entirely, entirely, entirely different and could not take any internet measurements for granted.
