So I am in the market for coilpacks as apparently I have a missfire problem, can anyone tell me how I can test WHICH coilpack(s) is faulty in my R34 NEO??? Meaning later down the track if I need to return a failed coilpack under warranty that I just bought, I do I find which is the dud one?? cheers

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This is an outdated statement as everything is made in China these days.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

Depends on what's wrong with it. Try checking the resistance of the primary coil in each one (you'll need to know which pins to check, and i'm not even sure if its possible on integrated ignitor coils like you have - depends on how their wired internally). Other than that, look for any arcing, which will happen if the insulation is flawed. Many people fix arcing issues with silicon or electrical tape. Search the DIY section for details on the insulation fix.

Thanks mate ive done the taping of my coilpacks already with high quality silicon tape and it still misses bad so its definitely not an arcing issue but the internal coils are shagged, just need to find out which one..

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.

It appears that from a warranty perspective...

* Yellow Jacket will honour w'ty

* Superspark will honour w'ty

* With Splitfire, it's like pulling teeth

I think your Q is directed towards Birds.

Usually, one initially looks for a flared scorch mark around it's body emanating from a pit hole that may be visible; perhaps not.> indicates arcing as Adam said.

If a couple in that set are gone, it's best to replace all.

Hey guys dont mean to bump an old thread but thought ide ask anyway.

Ive had my drift car for about a year, have only taken it to the track about 5 times so far, its an r32 gtst, rb20det, nistuned @ 15PSI and making 240ish RWHP, i pretty much am limiter bashing this thing at the track most of the time, hitting 6500-7500rpm regularly.

twice at the track its cut out on me, feeling almost like it completley turns off mid drift for a split second and splutters like crap shooting flames out of the exhaust.

So my question is, out of the 3 or 4 main brands out there including OEM, what are the actual BEST items that survive the most punishment, im not worried about price i just want a good product, im leaning towards OEM but am worried that OEM once might last the longest for normal driving but not for drifting or thrashing?

They all perform much the same and have the same failure rate - search all brands and you will see success stories and issues, so there is no "clear winner" brand to go with in terms of expected longevity in a modified car. Consider also, that most people who buy aftermarket coils don't have issues with them and you won't likely hear from them - it is naturally going to be the 1% or so who DO have issues, who will come on here complaining or asking for help.

IMO, go with a brand that is likely to help you out should something go wrong down the track...the last few pages will offer good insight into this.

Sorry to bump an old thread, have found a genuine OEM coil pack seller for $320 PER SET (which sure beats $190 each) have also found new coil pack looms for $100 delivered.

I am not tossing up between YJ ($420 set) and OEM ($320 set) I've just read this whole thread, confused with some contradicting statements regarding OEM vs SF vs YJ for high hp applications.

I'm of the mentality that std parts are good for std power, what are thoughts on longevity of OEM coils 400hp+ ?

Id be very suspicious of a set of mew OEM coils for $320/set. They are most likely fakes.

I run YJs and have done so in 2 different cars for over 4yrs now, They arent extreme machines. My older stagea, which had a mild 380hp and my R34 GTR has around 460hp and the YJs are perfect. Ive had the YJs in the GTR for around 2 months now.

Theres heaps of guys on here running YJs at over 400hp and have done so for a while now without any hiccups.

Sorry, they are fakes. Have a good close look at them. There are imperfections all over them.

You can get these same copied coils in Hong Kong: http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/380257087/NISSAN_Skyline_R33_Ignition_coil_pack.html

you won't be the last person to buy a knock off with a genuine part number.

good luck however. good call if they are real but I highly highly doubt it

Have a look at the item number, the bloke is adamant their genuine, if not i guess I could always return them using PayPal?

Basically, all coils are copies of the OEM ones but this is the worst when they try to pass off a product as genuine by stamping Nissan logos etc all over them.

They go to great lengths to do this.

I dont know why they dont just come up with their own brand like Superspark, Splitfire and Yellow Jackets have done.

I've been using Splitfire coils on my SR20DET and they work great...more stable and strong spark. gotta be careful when dealing with electrical stuff... get quality products and not cheap knock offs esp china made ones.. =)

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

      Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
