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

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 seems to have been poorly put together when I bought it, but that's another story)

Sitting on top of that is an RB25DE head, with some nice porting done. Slapped to one side resides a 6Boost high mount manifold, with a bit of a mix and match turbo, that brings boost on F'ing hard at 4000RPM.

Now, I was running a set of split fires, they never really missed a beat... Well that was until they met the end of their life, just days before the car got strapped to the dyno for a full tune...

Split fire melt down... Catastrophically...

So in went the Yellow Jackets. Nice smooth idle again still, and "clean" revving, as much as the engine could, on such an over fuelled, out of tune fuel map.

So onto the dyno the car rolled.

Pushing at 3600RPM, and 5PSi of boost, the car was making 193RWKW... Now this dyno appears to be reading VERY low of late too, but we don't really care for read outs.

Anyway, we start to allow it to rev up... Only to find that as we pass 4500RPM no matter what we do with the dyno, strapping, tyres, ANYTHING, we can't stop the car from wheel spinning...

In the end, the car rattled off a healthy 340RWHP, @14 PSi with a very well lowered red line, (Valve float up above 6000 - 6500 RPM.).

Air fuel ratios were kept in check at a nice and rich 11:1, with not a lot of ignition timing, so the setup over all has alot of fuel to burn through, under pressure.

The coil packs never missed a beat, and that included the next day when the car rolled up to Oran Park raceway to go for some sprints around the GP circuit...

Now this day showed how much torque (And hence, how well these coil packs were doing) when I attempted to pull out at 70KM/H in 3rd and speed up to 110KM/h on the Hume, only to find wheel spin as I passed 80KM/h...

And most of my time at Oran Park was met the same way, attempt to prod the throttle in 3rd gear whilst doing 110KM/H was met with a pure roar of wheel spin. I only really did it in 3rd, as I never really bothered to touch 2nd, as it was just wheel spin with any throttle opening...

That was until the car spun a big end bearing anyway... But again, another story...

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.

ive been running the yellow jackets in my series 2 for a few months now with no issues at all as have much others. it seems there has been few issues from the JJR & superspark's and they cost more!

i actuallly did 2 dyno runs, 1 with my stock coils which were not missing at all, and 1 with the yellow jackets. the yellow jackets made 2 more hp. at the time my car had the following mods: 3inch turboback exhaust, r34 SMIC, 11psi from turbotech MBC, k&n panel filter.

My coilpacks carked it on a drive back home... had to baby it so it wouldnt miss. Thankfully I'm grabbing a set of new coilpacks next week anyways. Pretty keen on Yellow Jackets, though I have enough for the Splitfire I wouldnt mind having a couple hundred dollars spare.

yeah im going for yellow jackets this coming week too. the car is in the workshop on monday for a manual conversion and would finally like to crank the boost past 7psi without bloody missfire. cant wait to take it for a spin at mallala raceway again :D

genuine coilpacks are great when new, better than splitfires or any others... but theyre also $1200 from nissan.

Might be $1200 from nissan but they are (tonight) $143.11 shipped to Sydney each from RHDjapan. Im im for new coils and I wont be buying anything other then OEM.

Sold over 30 sets from a groupbuy here in Canada and I personnally have them on my car, and they fixed my missfires and gave me some torque. Cheaper then splitfires and as good, excellent value for the money!

Well all is good with the yellow jackets…actually better than good man they are awesome. Idle sits on 850-900 without missing a beat. This may seem weird but I definitely have more power in the midrange :P

A bit hard to tell if ive gained any top end but as I said I’m pretty sure ive grabbed midrange torque. It will be interesting to se the Dyno results.

All I can say is seriously forget getting raped buying Splitfires and try Yellow Jackets

:) Thats still around $860/set. Too much $$..

your group buy thread has disappeared. Whats happened? Is performance-wise still the guys to deal with for these?

Im pretty sure Performancewise is the only distributor for the Yellow Jackets.

Put in my Yellow Jackets and NGK Iridiums lastnight. Absolute bitch of a job cause I've never removed/re-installed the plumbing to the intake manifold before...nothing seemed to want to go back together again. And I had some trouble bolting one or two of the coils in (mounting holes weren't lining up).

Nonetheless, they work a treat. Engines feels a bit smoother and I haven't had any misses so far (that said, I haven't had much of a chance to visit the red line yet).

Paul from Performance-Wise was nice enough to notice my post here and contact me directly regarding my trouble installing one of the coil packs. I explained to him that it was just one of the holes that wouldn't line up on one of the coils...and that whether this is a fault in the plastic mount on the coil or my engine's coil bracket, it was no big deal because I just used the third hole instead (Series 2 coil packs have 3 mounting holes) which worked fine. Impressive to see a company willing to chase up post-sale customer satisfaction...bravo Paul :)

Received and installed a set of JJR 'red' coil packs over the weekend and re-checked 0.7 gap on Iridium plugs - she's all good again and not misfiring at all up to 8K. OEM's just had enough and were on the way out.

Now to see how long these JJR's last!

      Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s

      It was picked up on the MOT/Inspection that the offside front wheel bearing had excessive play along with the ball joint. It made sense to do both sides so I sourced a pair of spare IS200 hubs to do the swap. Unfortunately I don't have any photos of the strip down but here's a quick run down. On the back of the hub is a large circular dust cover, using a flat head screw driver and a mallet I prised it off. Underneath will reveal a 32mm hub nut (impact gun recommended). With the hub nut removed the ABS ring can be removed (I ended up using a magnetic pick up tool to help). Next up is to remove the stub axle, this was a little trickier due to limited tools. I tried a 3 leg puller but the gap between the hub and stub axle wasn't enough for the legs to get in and under. Next option was a lump hammer and someone pulling the stub axle at the same time. After a few heavy hits it released. The lower bearing race had seized itself onto the stub axle, which was fine because I was replacing them anyway. With the upper bearing race removed and the grease cleaned off they looked like this The left one looked pristine inside but gave us the most trouble. The right one had some surface rust but came apart in a single hit, figure that out?! I got a local garage to press the new wheel bearings in, reassemble was the opposite and didn't take long at all. Removing the hub itself was simple. Starting with removing the brake caliper, 2x 14mm bolts for the caliper slider and 2x 19mm? for the carrier > hub bolts. I used a cable tie to secure the caliper to the upper arm so it was out of the way, there's a 10mm bolt securing the ABS sensor on. With the brake disc removed from the hub next are the three castle nuts for the upper and lower ball joints and track rod end. Two of these had their own R clip and one split pin. A few hits with the hammer and they're released (I left the castle nuts on by a couple of turns), the track rod ends gave me the most grief and I may have nipped the boots (oops). Fitting is the reversal and is very quick and easy to do. The lower ball joints are held onto the hub by 2x 17mm bolts. The castle nut did increase in socket size to 22mm from memory (this may vary from supplier) The two front tyres weren't in great condition, so I had those replaced with some budget tyres for the time being. I'll be replacing the wheels and tyres in the future, this was to get me on the road without the worry of the police hassling me.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.

      Cas issue

      By MBS206 · Posted

      It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
