My understanding is that it's the basic advice for most cars. Have a gander at the spark plugs thread, it's pretty long but there are a lot of testimonials. As I said, everyone's experience seems to vary. But most seem to think that coppers are the way to go and though they may last longer changing them every 5000km is safe. Just doing it with an oil change. It's not hard to do with a bit of practice, gives you some regular feedback as to how the car is running and how each cylinder compares to the others.

Most importantly, if you use coppers and change every 5000km the ignition system works, and does so at it's best. So even though some people get hundreds of thousands of kms out of some cheap platinums, and some people get only a few thou km out of high priced iridiums, coppers every 5000km works.

What plugs are you using george?

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This is an outdated statement as everything is made in China these days.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

General rule is run as bit as you can. Bigger gap means a more aggressive spark directly igniting more fuel. You might need to experiment, though someone on here might have better advice.

Note though, the more boost you run the harder it is to cross the spark plug gap.

yeah, if they missfire, just reduce the gap by 0.1mm each time until there's no missfire. then you know for next time.

i was running 1.1mm on 14psi with new yellow jackets. no problem.

In true noob fashion I don't actually know... :whistling:

They were put in by the workshop when I got my car tuned. They mentioned that the old ones where starting to show signs of wearing out & could cause problems with the boosted power levels later on.

I didn't mind seeing they just charged me according to my original quoted price & what ever they put it, it have being holding well for ~20,000kms.

So guys what's the general consensus on the yellow jackets now? Still running ok? I'm in need of new coil packs...

+1 for Yellowjackets

Had mine in for ~8months and 20,000km now after the old ones started to die. NGK Platinum plugs gapped to 1.1mm, no woes, now running 5psi and still good. smile.gif

Still going strong for me.

Mine are still all good :)

Had my YJs in my daily for over 2 years now and they're still going strong.

lol well if you want to break the answers up, I did have a problem with one YJ coilpack after about 20,000km...but PW replaced it for me...then another went after that and they replaced that for me. Haven't had issues since. That's the kind of after sales service that puts my mind to rest when considering products. Would I buy them again? Yup.

      Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.

      I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.

      Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
