FYI - THENIG - Splitfires have been around $520/530 delivered for the better part of this year :P

I purchased mine ages ago and i paid around $530 from memory.

was going to say the same thing! bought mine over a year ago and pay $500 for them, i think they even go as low as 40,000yen on yahoo auction brand new

Yeah thanks guys for correcting me on that one, i apologise for posting before researching more on the forums. For some reason $600 was stuck in my head from what people were asking for them on Ebay a while back. I think i need to invest some time figuring out Yahoo auctions and the babelfish translator.

Im still curious as to what those things are for at the end of the springs on the OEM coilpacks of a 32. I can't remember if the splitfires had them also?

Cheers

Well, i noticed a little later 2 were crooked not one, but the packs run alright

if you have a look at that thread i managed to straighten them a little by packing them up with washers and they run better than the old ones, but most people who replied to the thread said they would ask for a refund or replacement of those two packs

Basically, i would go the splitfires now if i had the choice but as i cbf getting a refund or replacement these are fine

Well i have some issues with Splitfires, the first set died 6 montch after purchase 4 coils startred to die, and it looks like that migh be the case again, either way my Central 20 ECU and splitfires don't like a gap above .8 mm at 15 psi

has anyone done a setup with any other brands of coils? like MSD, Crane etc, etc. there is a huge range of very powerful coils at much better prices than $500 for 6. alternatively is there any one using CDI's or DIS units?? what sort of results r u seeing?

MSD and crane ect. do they make them for imports ect.? i thought they are more for v8's ect.

also by the sounds of things people have had problems with both JJR and splitfire coil packs, has anyone had similar or any problems with the OEM packs???

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 was told they retail at 1200 a set of 6

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
