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This is an outdated statement as everything is made in China these days.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

got a set in my r32 gtr, no probs running 1.1mm spark plug gap @ 18psi boost :)

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.

That's the most direct and convincing question-answer sequence I've ever seen hahaha

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.

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Waders360 · Posted

      I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way

      This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.

      Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.

      To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all

      300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
