I had jjr coilpacks on my s14 motor, they lasted about a week before 2 died... having said that, I got a refund straight away, no questions asked.

yeh i rang them, they said exchange or replacement only lol

As I said on the first page, any one who goes to an aftermarket coil pack is being made a fool of. Stick with the stock ones - anything else you do is as constructive as burning money :(

so you would rather have 20 year old coils breaking down on high boost in an R32 than a fresh set of aftermarket items?

If your having coil pack dramas I would much rather have a fresh set than screwing around re insulating your coils every couple of weeks...

Who said anything about every couple of weeks? If you do it right it shouldn't be a problem. No one I know who has re-insulated them has had any issues and I know people (Cubes on this forum being one of them) who are making good power on the reinsulated stock coils which were done years ago now.

Imho its much more effort to go and order a set of coils, pay ~$1000NZ for them and then change them over than to spend ~$10 on some crap to put on the stock coils - remove them from the block (they don't never need to be removed from the bracket) and give them some love. I guess people feel they have more dignity if they spend 100x as much to get the same effect :)

its actually 39.99x more expensive :P

then I guess you gotta take into account your in kiwi land... so the dollar is trading at 1.2........... argh f*k it

Let us know if the $10 fix lasts long enough to not warrant going aftermarket :D

Not going to read this many pages.. but it was proven stock or splitfires are the only two ignition coilpacks which work as good as stock or better (1% better for split fire)

ebay ones produced 40% less power on the dyno.. that bad!

yeap exactly, i put hi temp silicon around the stock ones and they didnt work.

installed with no dramas, so far so good :yes:

time will tell on the dyno when it gets more boost.

cheers

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
