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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
