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 Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
