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This is an outdated statement as everything is made in China these days.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

$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!

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.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground

      Coolant leak?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.

      Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
