just put in new yellow jackets

the misfire above 5k is gone :)

and there seems to be a bit more power throughout the rev range (guess its back to what the power should be)

lets see how long they last... hopefully I dont have to utilise the 2 year warranty

btw car is no slouch... R33 GTR making 290kw or so

bought em off ebay on sunday... were at my doorstep when I got home from work on Tuesday... was very impressed with delivery time

also since we are talking about coils failing

I installed splitfires installed on my old GTS-T and it was making around 280kw

the new owner told me a month or two ago that one of the coilpacks had let go

they were probably in for about 15months

so Splitfires fail too

although the new owner did give the car alot of stick

I cbf reading through the whole thread but If your worried about your coil packs dying you should just go a waste spark setup, your coils will last 11ty times longer.

I'm interested in the OEM coils that are 105 each.. does anyone know who or where these are being sold?

105? I thought they were the best part of $190 each?

I'm not sure what that is? Lower voltage smaller gap?

The proplem I see in this new coilpacks this days is that there is no quality control or any test other then the ones done by the buyers.

It is comun to see the china brands not testing anything

Splitfire offers all info and testing so you know they have pass qc

I have had splitfire for two yrs now

I run a power pack that shots 19volts to the coils

Which have damaged my oem coilpacks one time

Two yrs of 19 bolts a larger gaps

Over heating and pure abuse they still run great

Now my point for qc is that if you google this china non qc products you will find bad and good feed back.

So basicly it is a 50/50 chance.

I know if many parts the are sold in Japan that has been made in china.

But usually it's not completely done in china.

Like fpr

Internals and final assemble is done in Japan. But the outer case are done in china. Which later explains why you by a fpr and the pressure stays after the fuel pump is off.

Now the ones that are completely done in china with out qc

Fall all the way down as soon as you turn the fuel pump off

QC is what determines the out come

QC also determines that all parts or every fpr meets the complete standards require by each company QC

This is what determines price range

This is why your china non qc products cost less

Plain and simple

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 with some of these testers and nearly 3 years on, they are still going strong.

Every single coil that has failed and has been returned, has been tested and disected and this has helped us to improve on them.

Every now and again you get one coil that may have some issue from the assembly line. Its the same with the blue ones and the red ones too (As you can see from reading this thread). Its impossible to check them all internally and individually. My coils have been on the market now for nearly 3 years and there is around 7500pcs in use worldwide, in many different driving conditions and applications.

I can honestly say that since these have been on the market there has been around 70 pcs returned. So thats a failure rate of around 1%.

Most of these returns were at the beginning of market production too. Since improvements have been made, this return rate has fallen dramatically.

Im also well aware of how much of a pain in the butt (and the wallet) it can be to change coilpacks in the RB engines (especially the RB25s) so I dont want to inconvenience my customers with the hassle of a failing coil and the headaches of swapping them out.

The last thing I want for my product is for them to fail. One of my main priorities is to ensure that these are a good unit and will compete in performance and quality against the Blue ones. I work very closely with my associates to ensure that these are made well. The workers are great at what they do and they enjoy it too.

The longetivity of the coils will ensure the peace of mind for the user and will guarantee my success.

I dont offer a 2 year warranty for no reason. Im confident that the Yellow Jackets will last and I stand by this warranty so as to cover any issues that may arise in a realistic timeframe. So this can give the user a proper chance to use and abuse them over a realistic period of time and not be left out of pocket and unsupported. Ask anyone that has processed a waranty with these. I have never backed out or denied anyone their right to a sound product.

These coils are also not "mass produced" on a large scale and sold in "mass market" businesses/franchises like Autobarn. There is only one place in the world you can get these coils from and that is exclusively through Performance-Wise and I will always keep it that way so the quality is enforced and overseen by me, and so the price is always fair and not over-inflated, like the others.

QC is very important to us and is not taken lightly.

P.W.

Well said. Im one of the original testers& have had these in my car for close to 3 years now with no problems at all.

Strongly recommend Yellow Jackets and with the extra amount you save use it for other mods.

That said, OEM coils can be had for around the same money now (if you know where to look apparently, and I did :P) and they are proven to be 150,000km items ;).

Definitely. OEM are great and if you can get them for the same price as these then thats awesome and for the record, so far Ive done around 75,000kms on my Yellow Jackets. Will report back in another 3 years :D

be sure to let us know! lol

my red ones lasted just over 1 year with 1 pack failing.

if anymore go, i will be replacing them with yellow jackets which come with 2 year warranty which is a bonus as well.

Well i did start a new thread on what options were available for the RB's and what were the pros n consetc, but an overzealous mod decided im not worthy, so im dumping the info here so as not to waste it ....good luck with figuring it out, with all the negative neysayers in one corner & with a bunch i have nfi floating around in the other, just to help things! I was hoping to get a clearer answer via a poll but apparently we cant do that.......................... So anyway here goes:

Okada Project - Plasma Direct

Splitfire

FET

SuperSpark

Yellow Jackets

JJR

OEM

Random Ebay

----

HKS - Twin Powers

Okada Project - Plasma Lift

M&W - CDi

Links that I could find:

*My 2 cents, Okada Project if money is no object, Splitfire if your after a proven product at a good price, Yellow Jackets on a budget & OEM if ya dont give a crp!

    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
    • OK, so a bunch of trim needs to come off to get to the rear shock top mounts. Once the seat is out of the way, the plastic trim needs to come off. Remove 2 clips at the top then slide the trim towards the centre of the car to clear the lower clip Next you need to be able to lift the parcel shelf, which means you need to remove the mid dark trim around the door, and then the upper light trim above the parcel shelf. The mid trim has a clip in the middle to remove first, then lift the lowest trim off the top of the mid trim (unclips). At the top there is a hidden clip on the inner side to release first by pulling inwards, then the main clip releases by pulling the top towards the front of the car. The door seal comes off with the trim, just put them aside. The the lighter upper trim, this is easy to break to top clips so take it carefully. There is a hidden clip towards the bottom and another in the middle to release first by pulling inwards. Once they are out, there are 3 clips along the rear windscreen side of the panel that are hard to get under. This is what the rear of the panel looks like to assist:
