JJR Coil Packs Vs Oem Vs Splitfire Vs Other


Recommended Posts

One even has to jump through hoops to get warranty approval on Splitfires :D

I'm sure you're right but like I said - 5 years of supersprinting on Splitfires never produced a problem... One lap on YJ's killed a coil pack!

I always believed that if a customer is dissatisfied with a product because it misperforms he should be entitled to a refund, no matter what your terms of warranty might be.

Unfortunately we cannot let customers dictate terms of warranty. No business does and never would.

We have 2 years warranty on these coils. Are you saying that a customer can make it a 3, 4, 5 or even a 10 year warranty, no matter what the terms of warranty might be?

It simply doesnt work like that.

In offering a 2 year warranty, I have to be sure that, if there is an issue, that the faulty one(s) are isolated from the rest as all 6 coils would not fail at the same time.

Otherwise anyone could simply send me back a full set at say 22 months after purchasing and scam a new set of replacements from me.

And repeat this cycle so they never have to buy coils ever again. Im sure you understand this.

I cannot make up different terms of warranty just for you now can I? That would not be fair on my customers or myself.

Also, we managed to test your coils on one my mates R34 GTTs and couldnt find anything wrong with them. Im not sure why or where these coils mis-performed for you?

Whats done is done though and I dont want o2 to be bitter with me. I will refund o2 for the coils out of my own pocket and will give these to my mate with the R34 as he was totally stoked with them.

Thnx.

Odd thing I noticed on the box of yellow jackets I received today "6 month warranty". So it's actually 2 years? *bit confused*

... If it IS two years then I feel a hell of a lot more comfortable - got a bit worried at the warranty mentioned on the packaging ....

Yep, its 2 years. We are just running out the last of our old packaging. :/

does anyone see a problem with using 2 different types of coilpacks? I had a set of splits in my rig and one of the spark plugs came loose and melted a coilpack and the wiring too, wirings been fixed and because i couldnt find a place that sells splits individually so i went and bought a yellowjacket.

They all theoretically do the same thing right?

there is a trader on nissansivia.com selling nissan OEM coilpacks for $105 a piece

for a stock or even mildly modified application, i'd happily pay for a set of OEM coilpacks over splitfires or yellow jackets

When one of my YJ's failed and I was waiting for a replacement under warranty, I put in an OEM from the set I had taken out . It worked just fine.

Yeah i put an oem before i put the yj in and it misfired, put the yj in and all was good, now it seems the misfire has come back. Although its a different sound...

Just wanted to say big thanks to performance wise, purchase my item via ebay on Wednesday and needed item by Friday. Performance wise went out of there way to delivery and it arrive on time! any whos i ordered these as my standard coil packs who seemed fine gave me the Code 21, common problem of R34 GTT.

Anywhos, fitted these item and error code vanished! TCS,SLIP, Engine light all vanished.

Review: Performance: Car seems a lot smoother and also feels a more powerful likes its noticeable!

Just a technical bit of info on that note, I'm no coilpack expert in case anyone wants to chime in, but they won't as such give you a power increase...only return to you what was lost while you were using worn out coilpacks :D

+1. Despite what the advertisements say :D.

As was said in birds post, hence the "+1". If your coilpacks are fine buying yellow jackets/splitfires won't be helping much. It's a pretty pointless semantic discrepancy anyways, point is that it can only return lost power, which means there may or may not be a power gain.

    • Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car 
    • 100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.
    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
    • They sell them in Malaysia for about $4
    • First time I ever have issues with Amazon, but my wife often tells me to keep an eye out for fakes. It finally got me. I wrapped up the conversation with Gates. The gentlemen I was talking to seemed to hate his job but the response time on their technical support is outstanding. He stated that the hose is marked with some variation of "SAE J30R10" but that if you only purchase a 1 foot length like I did, it is possible to get a cut between markings and have a blank hose. To no ones surprise, he stated the swelling and "gummyness" isn't normal and to replace/buy from somewhere else (He mentioned NAPA). I'll toss a small end of the new one in gas for a few days before pulling the hanger out again, just to be safe.  Hose should arrive Monday. For those running multiple pump in tank hangers, you know the joys of getting them out and back in. I'm surprised I haven't destroyed my level float yet.  Lastly once I wrap all of this up, I'm planning on hitting the dyno again in 2 weeks while I'm on vacation. I realized recently that my VCT is set to turn off at 5000RPM. I'm surprised it wasn't increased while I was on the dyno last. I'm expecting I can increase it to ~6500RPM, if not more. Should hopefully get another 15-20kw out of it. I also want him to revisit my knock thresholds. I'm occasionally getting false knock around 3000rpm.
