$560 for the box

$95 for the harness

Both delivered from Nengun. I have one in my car man. Seems to work a treat.

Would be a good idea to upgrade but its like changing the stock bov's on a gtr, no required.

If my ignition wasn't up for the task my tuner would have told me from the onset.

I'm only running 405awkw :) maybe when pushing monstrous power this mod is needed on the gtr

i never really thought about that - are you referring to the ignition box?

how much are they approx?

Marko I run the HKS Twin Power amplifier and was running Splitfires with no drama until new engine dropped in. I was always happy with the Splitfires performance.

We ran 2 new sets tuning the new engine and always at around 8200rpm we started getting misfire so went back to standard and sweet as. Engines putting out around the 450kw mark and still has to have final power check.

The Jap guys reckon the Splitfires are a great performance upgrade but when starting to push over 600ps upwards they tend to misfire. The HKS guys were always umming and aahing when I chose Splitfires over the standard coils. I'm not knocking them as they are a great product but they have their limitations.

Most big power engines/race engine in Japan are using standard coil packs or the Okada Project Plasma Directs

Either one new will rip a new hole where the sun dont shine !

i wondered about the Okada Project Plasma Directs as i saw them on rhdjapan website when i ordered my splitfires BUT the price was 3 times that of the splitfires @ $1450 for the set...anyway, my tuner recommended splitfires so i stuck with them :unsure:

liek u say as well - any new coil pack will be better than 20year old factory coils!

The Splitfires are a great coil pack but talking to alot of tuners in Japan they find they have limits with big power applications.

My old OEM's were sweet as where the Splitfires were misfiring.

Ended up getting a new set at a good discount through friend at Nissan, still hurt the pocket and thats why I bought the Splitfires in the first place.

The Okada's ..well love to get them but the price tag is a bit too much on the ouch side.

Agreed, any of the big HP RB's we have had through had the same issues, chuck in a set of new OEM coil packs and a HKS twin power and the sky was the limit.

Rewire your coilpacks straight to battery with a relay and ignition onto the old wiring with an inline fuse should stop a lot of the "coilpack melting" episodes people seem to be having :P

Bought JJR coilpacks for a R33 S2 and they were never right but now are misfirring badly at high boost and guess what? It has been about 15 months after purchase so now im fooked... Should I try to gap the plugs to 0.7mm? I currently have BCPR7ES gapped to 0.8mm and its missfiring under high boost. These coilpacks are pieces of shit seriously!

Edited by da spike

why don't you call the guys you bought the pieces of shit of and talk to them before slagging them off. Have you tried any other coils? Do you know coils are even you problem? They obviously are not the fix to every single missfire problem

What do people (who know) think of these 'direct from battery' wiring setups?

Any advantage or disadvantage to these?

had my yellow jackets for over 5000kms, 2 track days and a motorkhana. pulled them out the other day for inspection and no signs of wear at all, still going very strong :thumbsup:

That's great

Anyone else have sustained track-work experiences for Yellow Jackets???

A few years back I started to get a miss at 4500-5000rpm on acceleration (peak torque).

Pulled out the stock coils and cleaned em, then wrapped em with self amalgamating tape, checked plugs, still missed so old coil had had it.

Bought splitfires from just jap, put em in, no more missfire, no problem at all since and that was like over 4 years ago!

Run up to around 470hp at the treads and no probs.

Yellow jackets look like a good replacement from what you guys have experienced though.

    • Please use a modern ECU. PowerFC with the Nintendo Gameboy controller is horrible. It's not 2005 anymore.
    • The car/ECU will have all the sensor that it needs and expect to have. I think i do not have to explain to you how the Link is way better specialy if you have swapped engine   I just do not want to deal with any "problems" cuz i have only Nistune which i learned is not that great and in my case cant even deal with that speed problem (Link can) And of course it will be way more easier to tune and diagnose and safe. And for the ECU/speed problem...i dont know.
    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
