Hey guys,

am looking to buy & install a set of splitfires to my R33 Series 2. Is this a timely & difficult exercise for a novice or is it easy as pie? If possible id like to save the $100 id be getting charged by mechanic/performance shop.

Thanks in advanced.

im a complete novice when it comes to mechanical work on the car... and i installed splitfire coilpacks in my r33 in just over an hour...

very very easy...

just make sure u have the right tools... *frickin brother keeps loosing everything*

come round and ill help u do it! im free all day everyday for the next 2 weeks!! let me know man im west subs!

F***n sweet as,

im in the western burbs too. Should have them in my hands by fri cos i ordered them yesterday, wat part of the west u from? If we do it @my work BWS is pretty much next door for ur payment :D

its a worthwhile upgrade as well

Its only worthwhile if your old coils are playing up.

Spitfires are cheaper than the nissan coilpacks, but are no better. There is lots of info on this in the performance forum. (its not really an upgrade)

too true.

Been talkd about many times and theyre probs as good as eachother, maybe genuines r bit better im not too sure tho but genuines will cost u at least $1000 for a set where as the splitfires will be round $500.

My genuine coilpacks r fine but when they start to sh*t themselves i know im not paying $1000 coilpacks.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
