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???

    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
    • Correct. Um. I dunno. I haven't cared enough about the way that the NA cars work to know for sure. But..... The 33/34 turbo manual cars have an electronic speed sensor in the gearbox that outputs a +/- (ie, sawtooth AC) voltage signal. That is connected to the speedo. The speedo then outputs a 0-5v square wave (ie, PWM) signal that the ECU (and any other CU on the bus) sees. The speed sensor is NOT directly connected to the ECU. So here's the problem. Your new ECU expects to see the PWM signal, but must somehow be getting a direct signal from the diff speed sensor. Which would suggest that the wiring of the NA car is not the same as the turbo cars. I think you will need to spend some time with (hopefully the wiring diagram for the car) and a multimeter to see what is connected to what. Then, presuming I am correct**, you would then want to separate the ECU speed signal input from the rest of the car's wiring, and probably either buy a speed signal converter, or build one using an arduino (or similar). That would take in the speed sensor signal and output a scaled (and suitably rearranged) signal for the ECU. ** We shouldn't presume that I am correct here, because there might be something else crazy going on. I don't think you could convert the speedo to be fed from the gearbox sensor, because the pulse rate from that sensor is probably different to the diff sensor and then the speedo would read wrongly. And this also wouldn't fix the ECU's problem either, because the ECU doesn't want to see the gearbox signal direct either (assuming that they are all on the same wiring, for some odd NA related reason, see above caveat!) Does this help? Probably not. Can you make it work? Almost certainly. With the above work. You should buy a handheld oscilloscope from Aliexpress so that you can view these signals directly. Connect up the probes and drive the car. Show photos of the screen when drving at known speeds and connected to different places, and we'll see what we can learn about it.
    • Assuming your brake pads are not worn right down, I'd add a little brake fluid. Is there any sign of a brake fluid leak?
    • Hello all,  I need of some help. On my drive home my handbrake light lit up and started flashing. When I got home I checked my handbrake sensor under the centre console and nothing seemed out of the ordinary. I have scanned my car via the consult port, no codes shown. Checked my brake fluid as well which is half full. Tried unplugging the brake master but it didn't change anything. Thoughts on what it could be? The master float doesn't seem to be stuck. My car is an 1998 ER34 sedan GT. No hicas but has ABS Photos below 👇🏾
