Ive heard stories of the red ones melting before. not sure if they were JJR or Super Spark though? (I guess theyre both probably from the same factory anyway)?

Anyone else here used the yellow jackets or is it just me? Mine are still going strong. It'd be good to see them pitted up against JJR & Super Sparks for a final showdown. lol.

Hey guys, I run a set of the yellow jacket coil packs that Performance Wise offers. To set the scene, picture an RB30 block, built to "nissan spec" (Now, I use this term loosely, as the whole motor

Not true for Yellow Jackets. We tested the YJs thoroughly before releasing them to the market. Not just in the factory, but on the street and the track, in real life circumstances. Im still in contact

This is an outdated statement as everything is made in China these days. My Yellow Jackets are made in china and I oversee QC and work closely with my factory and now, 5 years later, and over 2000 se

I'm running SuperSparks in the R33GTST for 266 rwkw at 1.1 bar without any problems. The standard coils were blowing out on the dyno at anything over 0.8 bar. That was the best 6 standard coils I could find out of the 20 or so that I had lying around. I have Splitfires in the R32GTST but it also has a HKS Twin Spark. Unfortunately I can't swap coils between the R32GTST and the R33GTST because the R33GTST is a series 1.5 and has the ignitors built into the coils.

Based on my experience with SuperSpark and Splitfire I really don't think there is any advantage in spending the extra money on the blue ones. Plus JustImportParts were great to deal with and delivery was overnight.

Cheers

Do you have a reason? Different design, higher output, or do you just like the colour?

+1

running jjr's here and no problems at all now.

had one fail within days of going in but JJR replaced it without hassle and very compensative.

So as long as they go on for long time im happy. with the money i saved i now have a full sick BOV too hahaha :laugh:

Well after talking to the owner of Super Spark, i've ordered a set. Will be interesting to see how they go :D will post up results after they are in. Currently it's breaking down over 5500rpm... occasionally :S it's rather odd. Upon inspection 5 out of my 6 coils are cracked in the usual place. So we'll see how the super sparks go, car is completely stock and made 164hp@ wheels and at 6 1/2 psi(thats all it would boost to). results soon !

got my supersparks in! Product came within 1 day of ordering! installation was a breeze, and have definately lessend my misfire issue. The problem ive been having is a missfire at about 5300rpm (only slight now the coilpacks of really really brought doen the miss), but it only happens untill teh cars been running for abotu 15mins(over 15mins and its fine). Im extremely befuddled to tell the truth. have installed new fuel filter, cleaned AFM. thinking maybe injectors? Its consistantly at the same spot in the rev rage every time, but goes away after the cars been running for about 15mins :S

OT - superspark seems so far to be a great product!

I've ordered a set of the JJR's and expect to receive them and install them on Monday/Tuesday. Hope they work well. It's a hassle waiting for stuff to come from Sydney to Perth, let alone have to do it over again if any need to be replaced under warranty... argh, paranoid.

Cos there's no guarantee that Splitfires won't stuff up either, and I've been told that the JJR's come with a 12 month replacement warranty (unlike the Splitfires). Overall in reading most of the 'coilpack' threads on this forum, it's down to chance that you get a faulty set or if/when the coilpacks are faulty. There's good and bad experiences from all camps. Then there's price difference ($200+ nowadays given the $AUS) and availabilty yadda yadda...

Heres some stats......

Splitfire - 12 month warranty - $630+/set + post

Yellow Jackets - 12 month warranty - $350/set + post

JJR - 12 month warranty - $400/set + post

Super Spark - 2-6 month warranty? - $500/set

I also searched the coil packs threads and havent heard of any bad experiences on the Yellow jackets at all.

I was only considering two types, Splitfire or JJR. And I was told by JJR last week that Splitfire offer NO backup warranty in comparison to the 12 month warranty backup that JJR provide on their JJR coilpacks.

Seems odd and not inline to what you've posted above...?

I've asked them to re-clarify.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.

      ECU sees many times the speed than speedo does (R34 swap)

      It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.

      I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
