Just wanting some feedback regarding splitfire coils, i have an R34 GTR V-Spec II and an opportunity from a friend to get some Splitfire Coils for free (payment for money owed). Are they a worthwhile upgrade for a GTR or are the factory coils good enough? Planning on making 400ish hp and the wheels eventually!

Thanks all!

They are worth it, if your stock coils are on their way out.

That said, if you are getting them for free (effectively) then go for it!

Well they are in good condition i assume, from a 2001 GTR but i guess i won't know until tuning happens!

New'ish R34 coils are should be fine for your 300rwkw plans.

Get the bugger to pay you back in cash :P

Thanks for the info! I may as well sell the buggers then, i just thought as a free item if it would boost performance id use them. Sounds like id be wasting my time to a degree though! Thanks :stupid:

dont do it man. people who buy them when u dont need them do it for the wank factor. end of story..

the only time u need to buy them is when u have been diagnosed with coilpack failure by a mechanic, then u need them. stock coil packs can handle 350+kw. ask r31nismoid.

and there are dozens of threads here that have problems with them too.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
