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

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion 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. But nothing 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. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
