Some of the holes on the yellow jackets have epoxy or something in them i took a philips head screwdriver and scraped it out, coils fit perfect.

I've fitted a set of Yellow Jackets the other day along with new spark plugs aswell gapped to 0.8mm and took it for a 'hills test' - and my god, the car drives absolutely beautiful, very smooth, straight to redline no hesitation no nothing, feels like a whole different car! I cant remember the last time the car has driven this well!

+1

same result, put mine in yesterday. couldn't be more happier!

I dropped mine in with a replacement harness and new plugs gapped at 1.1, not missing any more and feels to have a meatier mid range, but probably just my imagination.

Why is everyone going straight for a closer gap?

There seems to be a bit of a consensus that anything above 0.8mm can result in misfire. I'm gapped at 1.1mm with no misfires, but I guess if it's solved peoples problems then we can't question it :laugh:

I say leave it at 1.1mm and if you start to develop misfire then re-gap.

I left mine gapped at 1.1mm also. Just new coilpacks fixed my missfiring. IMO if you need to gap down your plugs your ignition system isn't up to scratch.

Smaller gap = Weaker spark

Larger gap = Stronger spark

This man he knows^...

i went the already gapped iridiums at 0.86. Since JJR replaced my faulty coil pack it hasnt missed a beat.

I was thinking whether I should leave them at 1.1 or go down to 0.8 but then thought didnt want to risk any missfiring and having to take things apart again - it gets tiring mucking around with the same thing over and over again... but it drives perfectly now no problems whatsoever so its all good either way. I'll probably give 1.1 a go next time see how that goes anyway.

i fitted my yellow jackets the other day. it was time for new plugs, so i swapped out my 0.8mm coppers for a new set of 1.1mm.

13psi, no missfire, at all, at 1.1mm!!! my old coilpacks had no missfire either, but needed 0.8mm to get that result.

for the price, you cant go wrong. and Paul from performance-wise is a top bloke to deal with. very pleased all round.

on a side note. my logic says if you can run 1.1mm without missfire, then you'll have a bigger bang, better burn, and optimal conditions.

yet i have heard many people say if you are running higher than standard boost, you need to run 0.8mm, regardless.

why? i just dont get it.

just ordered the Yellow Jackets. Cant wait for them to arrive.

I did the DIY to my oem coils (wrapped and silicon the coils) and replaced the plugs with NGK copper V power Heat range 7 and re gaped to 0.8. The car was still miss firing at 5k RPM and wouldnt let the car boost over 0.6BAR

I have HKS2530's with the actuators set to 1.5Bar.

I'm going to try and just drop the yellow jackets in with the spark plugs i have now with the 0.8 gap and see how it runs, if not then I will buy some plugs with a 1.1 gap....

I made this argument a couple of years ago in one of the spark plug threads. No one listened to me :bunny:

My NGK Iridiums are coming up onto 60thou kms and still running strong and good condition after recent inspection. Stuff coppers, I'm not into changing every 10thousand

to be honest, i like changing my plugs every 10k kms. lol

gives you the opportunity to check their condition, spot any warning signs, and give the whole area a once over.

i'd feel weird not looking at them for 100k kms, if they infact would even last that long.

bit more feed back for superspark. Had mine in for about 5000kms , including 1 track day. plugs gapped at 1.1mm. havent had any hint of even a slight misfire! product fitted exactly as per the oem items.

I'm yet to increase boost up yet, will post once i have.

ALSO 12 month warrenty on super spark... not 2-6months as previously stated.

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
