Any update on this topic?

Splitfires are $600+ these days... JJRs are going for $400 - that's a huge difference in price!

The 12 month warranty is great but the JJRs have been around for nearly 2 years now - any complaints?

The coil packs all seem to perform the same (at least at low-mid power applications) so I suppose it's down to reliability and (of course) price...

Need to replace mine bad :wacko:

Edited by Checkbuzz

i put in a set of JJR coil packs, and when i pulled my standard ones out they appeared to be fine. However, within 5 minutes of having the JJR ones in the car died, and wouldnt restart. I changed the coils back over and it still wouldnt start. I found a blown fuse and changed it over, car ran and ran fine, and no fuses blew. Seeing as my standard coil packs seemed to be in perfect condition, my friend offered to buy the JJR's off me if i wasnt going to use them. As i packed them back into the box they came in, i noticed this weird piece of plastic hanging off one of the coils. On closer inspection i saw that one of the coils had actually "popped" and this plastic had oozed out of it and hardened, obviously the reason for the fuse blow. Since ive had the standard coils back in i have had NO problems, but i am yet to have time to return the JJR coils because ive been working 6 days a week.....also i should note that one of the JJR coil packs came WITHOUT a spring inside it, so i had to use one out of my original coils, however this was not the one that "popped"....thats my feedback hope it helps....

Mine have failed again and I can promise you it is the coils. That's twice within 6 months and under the 12 month 'warranty'. Will be extremely interesting seeing how JustJap react this time when I ask for a full refund... Oh Cl11QE, same problem here, the spring just fell out of mine the day I was installing them :P

Suppose you get what you pay for.

after coating my coils in silicon, the miss fire is still there....my car is running NGK iridium plugs which are around 70,000kms old....im gona replace these with fresh plugs and see how it goes, it that doesnt fix the problem i'l be needing new coilpacks, after havin a browse through here i'l be gettin the JJR coilpacks (plus justjap is 2 mins away from me)

just running 10psi with stage one mods....i hope they will do the job...oh and good price compares to splitfires :D

Anyone heard of "Yellow Jackets"? anyone using them?

They're at $350 on ebay, never seen em elsewhere...

Im running a set of these in my S1 R33 GTST. They fit perfect and run perfect. Fixed my misfire issue straight away aswell. They have never missed a beat in around 3 months now. I think they come with a 6 month warranty aswell. There is a group buy for these on SAU now and I think they are around $320?

hmm...

Made in China

or

Made in Japan

I didnt buy a skyline to save money, so i can tell you which one i will be going for.

How do you know that the made in japan ones aren't coming from a factory in china, or taiwan, or outer beyond siberia by enslaved eskimos? Global economies now... :P

I am old enough to remember when to have something labeled made in japan, it was the same as now having made in china..

Go by results not cost, so anyone else with any other results please keep posting up there findings.

Splitfires are reputable brand and i have trust in the company that they are indeed made in japan. That goes the same with any jap brand or product like HKS, Apexi etc etc. They are proven to work and be effective numerous times in many different applications, which is why i dont mind to pay extra money for them. My motto when it comes to my car is: Do it once, Do it right. Unlike JJR and other brands which people are still wondering how good they are; they have yet to prove themselves.

In the end it comes down to "You get what you pay for". Even though splitfires are a bit overpriced atm with the aussie dollar its still worth it as your paying for a proven product and not left wondering "Well they still be working in 2 months time?"

If any of u guys want to buy JJR or other brands thats totally up to you. This is only my opinion. Id rather save up longer and buy quality parts because thats just how i like to modify my cars.

  • 4 weeks later...

interested to hear more from people who have had ignition break down at over 5500rpm or so, with the JJR coil packs now fitted? has it fixed your problem? 5 out of my 6 coilpacks have cracks in them, but i have since nail polished and taped them, but still seem to break down a bit. i think i may just upgrade and see if it fixes it? good idea?

Being new to this whole skyline thing, i am surprised to see coil packs failing. I have never heard many cases of these failing in a 300zx at all :ermm: . Can anyone please enlighten me as to why? (thank god my gtr has splitfires)

My mate has ordered a set of JJR's for his S1 r33 gts-t after one of his splitfires caught on fire. He currently has the stock ones in atm and it's missing like a mad flamin mongrel. Will let you know how he goes with these compared to the splitfires and if it fixes his missing etc

Great to hear from people who have actually used the product, rather than the usual splitfire rules JDM over china. The way the world economy is, its hard to know where most products are now actually made/assembled. the 12 month warrenty of jjr is enticing to be honest, and the low price, particularly seeing as i wont be chasing any more than about 250 wheels hp :ermm:. anyone had any experience with Super Spark?

    • The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.
    • And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
    • So, what else.... Power. I don't know what it is making because I haven't done a post tune dyno run yet; I will when I get a chance. It was 240rwkw dead stock. Conclusion from the day....it does not need a single kw more until I sort some other stuff. It comes on so hard that I could hear the twin N1 turbos on the R32 crying, and I just can't use what it has around a tight track with the current setup. Brakes. They are perfect. Hit them hard all day and they never felt like having an issue; you can see in the video we were making ground on much lighter cars on better tyres under brakes. They are standard (red sport) calipers, standard size discs in DBA5000 2 piece, Winmax pads and Motul RBF600 fluid, all from Matty at Racebrakes Sydney. Keeping in mind the car is more powerful than my R32 and weighs 1780, he clearly knows his shit. Suspension. This is one of the first areas I need to change. It has electronically controlled dampers from factory, but everything is just way too soft for track work even on the hardest setting (it is nice when hustling on country roads though). In particular it rolls into oversteer mid corner and pitches too much under hard braking so it becomes unstable eg in the turn 1 kink I need to brake early, turn through the kink then brake again so I don't pirouette like an AE86. I need to get some decent shocks with matched springs and sway bars ASAP, even if it is just a v1 setup until I work out a proper race/rally setup later. Tyres. I am running Yoko A052 in 235/45/18 all round, because that was what I could get in approximately the right height on wheels I had in the shed (Rays/Nismo 18x8 off the old Leaf actually!). As track tyres they are pretty poor; I note GTSBoy recently posted a porker comparo video including them where they were about the same as AD09.....that is nothing like a top line track tyre. I'll start getting that sorted but realistically I should get proper sized wheels first (likely 9.5 +38 front and 11 +55 at the rear, so a custom order, and I can't rotate them like the R32), then work out what the best tyre option is. BTW on that, Targa Tas had gone to road tyres instead of semi slicks now so that is a whole other world of choices to sort. Diff. This is the other thing that urgently needs to be addressed. It left massive 1s out of the fish hook all day, even when I was trying not too (you can also hear it reving on the video, and see the RPM rising too fast compared to speed in the data). It has an open diff that Infiniti optimistically called a B-LSD for "Brake Limited Slip Diff". It does good straight line standing start 11s but it is woeful on the track. Nismo seem to make a 2 way for it.
    • 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.
