Coil Packs

[mattye]

Ok so Just Jap has either "Splitfire Direct Ignition Coil Packs" for $695 or "JJR Direct Ignition Coil Packs" for $399 for sale.

JJR: http://justjap.com/store/product.php?produ...at=0&page=1

Does anyone know the difference?

Has anyone experianced both or have any recomendations? Hard facts guys not just because you've got them.

I am making the assumption that cause they both say they can go on a R34 with the RB25 Neo they will be fine. Is this right?

I have a Series 2 RS FOUR S.

Thanks in Advance Guys n Girls.

I have heard you can use Holden coil packs? maybe worth investigating...

[BigDirtyJase]

Holden coil packs?? That's a first.

well the splitfires will work in the stagea (as there is a image of the Stagea on the box)

I wanna know from guys who are using JJR's if they are any good

yeah it's when you run big power, you use them as external coilpacks - i think from memory you only need to use 3 too as they are twin pulse or something

anyway, back on topic, get splitfires. end of story. don't bother with JJR rubish

you cant go wrong with splitfires, they are a proven brand. dont bother with the JJR ones, you get what you pay for. or you can run commodore/falcon coils, they are 3 coils in one block and each coil handles two cylinders "3/2 coils", do a search on wasted spark you'll find heaps of info. the only benefit is they are cheaper to replace if they burn out/blow up.

it isn't always better running the wasted spark commodore/falcon coils over splitfires. i remember a write up on this testing all different coil pack setups, and the power that the stock 3/2 coils output, while they had higher MJ power per coil than the direct ignition coils, that power is shared between two spark plugs so it worked out less MJ per plug than running a good direct ignition or even 6 single coil setup.

Hi,

I dont mean to hijack this thread but i also am wondering what coil packs are available for the M35....... No one seems to want to help and i feel mine will be due for replacement soon( some surge and miss at high rpm) I was hoping to change them when i do the plugs as they are in a bastard of a place on the VQ..

Cheers

I can't answer your question as to which aftermarket pack is best (Performance-wise also have 'Yellow Jacket' coils available - they could be another option), but the question begs asking - why do you want to replace what you've got?

Do you have a confirmed fault, or have you been drawn into the false belief that the factory coils are no good?

Curious minds want to know...

Dunno mate. I have looked (briefly), but not found anything for M35.

Perhaps a VQ35 set would work? There would have to be some out there for V35 or Z33!

Spitfires end of story ... I had spark issues with my Stagea when jacking up the boost, put in a set of spitfires and it now pulls hard to to redline with no breakdown in spark..

You get what you paid for. I this case it applies.

[mattye]

Ben i am getting a tiny bit of surge...wether is me being over sensitive to the car or an actual miss is another thing.

But also they're 9 year old packs. So its also simply a preventative measure. I'm planning future mods so having packs that i know are deffinatly up to standard will be a weight of my mind. (I'm also going to change the plugs at the same time)

So by the looks of it I'll go for the Splitfire ones. Just did a bunch of overtime this week at work so that will pay for them nicely.

I was kinda thinking that the whole "You get what you paid for" thing would apply in this case but still wanted to put the question out there.

Thanks all. I'll let everyone know if i see a difference when i get them.

A bit of topic. Am I the only one who is perhaps over sensitive to the sounds and vibrations from my car, or are there others in my boat. What I mean is when ur driving and u hear a noise or feel a vibration that u may not have felt or heard before, and worry that its a bad noise or vibration.

yeah i do at first, but then a quick turn of the volume knob on the cd player makes those noises go away if the noises get louder then so does the cd player lol

[mattye]

yeah my mates got Holden LS1 coil packs on his Gti-R, one coil pack per spark plug and only 10cm of spark lead.

honestly i cant tell the difference

[DaveB]

Hmm, neither JJR or Yellow Jacket make coils to suit NEO engines yet. So that means that the only coilpack options available to series 2 owners are OEM Nissan coilpacks (not REALLLY an option, in my case at least, at $1000+) or Splitfires.

...or chop up your $200 coilpack harness and wire in different coils...

can someone suggest any other solutions for S2 owners?

Just watching this topic, don't need coilpacks yet, but at 10 years I wont be surprised when I do so just gettin ready.

Anything that fits the r34 rb25neo will fit C34 rb25neo apart from sump and im pretty sure the block is different down the bottom cause of the all wheel drive.

As for coil packs. Im running splitfires and as far as im concerned they are the way to go. i wouldnt waist my time with any cheaper options, they are proven to work the best and you get what you pay for.

SPLIT FIRES all the way !!!

i had jjr ones in mine but i took them back because straight away after install one of

them "popped" and this shit oozed out of it, and it blew a fuse.
