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.

do you know your ipod is made in china. is your ipod low quality? mine is not

for the coils, if splitfire are just $100 more i really wouldnt bother thinking.

i thought id add my 2c - i used to run the stock coils cos of a bit of misfire. so i changed it to splitfires.. it worked ok for a while....

one day i had a BAAAD misfire on cold starts in the morning. i got IGN error code when running a diag. i put my stock coils back on.. and walla!!!!!

i emailed NENGUN for a refund/replacement.. they said it was outside the 1 year warrany(they are telling fibs). in the end i wrote them a REALLY abusive email and i am ready to throw my splits in the bin!

Iv learnt the HARD way.. theres no replacement for the stock coils. they are just plain awesome! if you having issues, an ignition amplifier does wonders!!

BTW - I have seen alot of 1000+hp GTR's running stock coils with ignition amplifiers.

Seriously, splitfires etc are crap(no offence). I have heard from the big boys here in nz that the stockers are best. Now i know for a fact.

MUCH respect to OEM!!!

super spark misfire - recently shown in a column in either hpi/hot 4s cant remember which one. Go splitfires (which i think it was donnons column) which is the closest thing to stock coils anyone will get :) or even the jjr ones for warranty

Edited by DaGr81
Would you mind finding out the magazine and issue in which you read that?

My bad they didn't say which brand but they are red coils (anyhow the whole article is in hot 4s issue 171)

Have fun it's a great read

3 that i know of.. jjr. superspark. fet. plus i have heard of different brands as well other than oem or splitfire so there is a wide selection to choose from, could be any if they haven't stated.

I don't see the point of this discussion....I'm willing to bet these all get made in the same factory in china. Sure maybe 1 in 100 have a problem but if you buy it from a store you can always get it replaced.

So now with the price difference of $250 between JJR and Splitfire (thanks to the worthless AUD) which would you choose for a daily? Planning to keep the car for another 2-3 years. Has anyone had any bad experiences with the JJR since the last update on the thread and if so how has the 12 month warranty held up with the seller?

Cheers

well there may be a price difference now but I guess once Just Jap are out of current stock they will have to up prices too. Splitfire in yen vs JJR coils in USD probably they have both increased by about 40%.

Buy now before the local stock runs out.....I don't think AUD will be rising again for a wwhile

i just bought a set of JJR coils and ran them down to the tuner as my car was missfiringall over the shot... as i gave them to him and told him it was JJR his head just hit the box... im hoping for about 240rwkw and he told me a bloke running the same power blew 3 sets of JJR on the dyno.... splitfire is much much better i think after that...but will see how my car goes when its done...

btw this was rank rotary and sabbiden automotive that said this .. any comments on this????

i bought a set of JJRs two weeks ago from justjap as the Splitfires were no longer an option for me. car was missing pretty badly at the top. had them installed. went and got a Toshi remap the next week. zero misses, awesome spark no problems to date. will keep you informed if anything does come up though

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
    • By "reverse flow", do you mean "return flow"? Being the IC having a return pipe back behind the bumper reo, or similar? If so... I am currently making ~250 rwkW on a Neo at ~17-18 psi. With a return flow. There's nothing to indicate that it is costing me a lot of power at this level, and I would be surprised if I could not push it harder. True, I have not measured pressure drop across it or IAT changes, but the car does not seem upset about it in any way. I won't be bothering to look into it unless it starts giving trouble or doesn't respond to boost increases when I next put it on the dyno. FWIW, it was tuned with the boost controller off, so achieving ~15-16 psi on the wastegate spring alone, and it is noticeably quicker with the boost controller on and yielding a couple of extra pounds. Hence why I think it is doing OK. So, no, I would not arbitrarily say that return flows are restrictive. Yes, they are certainly restrictive if you're aiming for higher power levels. But I also think that the happy place for a street car is <300 rwkW anyway, so I'm not going to be aiming for power levels that would require me to change the inlet pipework. My car looks very stock, even though everything is different. The turbo and inlet pipes all look stock and run in the stock locations, The airbox looks stock (apart from the inlet being opened up). The turbo looks stock, because it's in the stock location, is the stock housings and can't really be seen anyway. It makes enough power to be good to drive, but won't raise eyebrows if I ever f**k up enough for the cops to lift the bonnet.
    • There is a guy who said he can weld me piping without having to cut chassis, maybe I do that ? Or do I just go reverse flow but isn’t reverse flow very limited once again?
