Nothing wrong with Nissan coils... R32/R33. Hell i used stock RB25 coils for 370rwkw @ 24psi. I needed a HKS box to go further, that was my only issue.

Splitfires/Nissan - all the same shit anyhow really. Only difference is the price.

I highly doubt the HKS car would be changing coil packs each run though.

Seen many a car here make 380-400rwkw on nissan/splitfires without a HKS DLI!

Once you get into the 400rwkw+ region however the little HKS 'black box' is another key ingredient required... I bet the HKS drag car has a HKS black box :D

Only thing is does the black box decrease the life of the coils? That is something that there seems to be zero information about.

c'mon! don't tease a bloke. I need facts dammit. or at least some well worded lies?! give me somethng.

Can i try to start? :D

The plugs were originally 1.1, and gapped down by hand... in the process the head was damaged on one/two of the plugs!

HKS quite possibly change their coilpacks as often as they do plugs.. which is after 7 seconds.. i have no doubt that the standard coilpacks are capable, when new.. but i think id rather cough up $600 for splitfires than $1500 for a new set of stockies.

i recently back to back tested stocko's vs splitfires, stockso were f**k knows how many genuine km's old out of an r32gtr engine package, punishing both sets of coils on the dyno stock where better, not buy all that much but considering the condition of the stocko's and the splitfires(barely10-15000km's old) i'll never use anything but stock coils again.

splitfires are good on a budget replacement, but dont expect as much out of them as you'll get out of standards

and yes that HKS ignition amplifire is about the only upgrade out there that works successfully for these things

the plugs were fine.. and so end another episode of "name that failure", thanks for playing.

which one of the 3 types of racing plugs from trust do you prefer?

the greddy irridiums are a good budget-ish plug at around $15 each. and the proper greddy racing plugs are excellent but a bit pricey at $25+ each.

the ones i use in the silvia are these ones 13000078 (T7340T-8) and in the GTR the $$$ racing ones are 13000108 (R7419-T8)

I used to think they were just a wank and was happy enough with the $3 coppers, that is until I actually tried them. :)

yep, healthy stock coils and HKS magic gold box is the way to go if you want fat spark. if your stockies fail and you don't want to spend $1500 on new ones then splitfires are not bad but definitely not an upgrade over stock that's for sure.

    • Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...
    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • 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?
