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

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

Can i try to start?

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

but now having used true high performance Greddy and HKS plugs I can tell you there is a big difference.

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

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

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.

So when do we find out, my attempt too all my power!

Linton helped me whack the Spilt Fires in on the weekend.

So far, So good. The car has returned to being "smooth as a babys bum" to drive. Comes onto boost and holding 1.2 Bar fine without any missing etc.

TOUCH WOOD!!!
