Hey all, can anybody tell me a company that can provide me with new coils for my 1998 N/A r34, its one of the twin cam 2.5 liter ones...ive got the typical primary ignition fault 21 code and at least one of the factory coils are on their way out, would really like upgraded ones instead of the factory replacements...thanks!

Splitfire, Superspark or JustJap JJR.

I would highly recommend the Splitfires.

I haven't had experience with Superspark or JJR coilpacks, however, my tuner advised against them and to put my dollars into splitfires. Worth noting also that my tuner wasn't selling me the coilpacks either.

Check out the sponsors for pricing. The Japanese Yen isn't in our favour like it once was so expect to pay over $600 for a set.

I think I recall seeing a new coilpack on the market too, it's a yellow colour... once again I have no idea about these ones either.

I have half a set of OEM ~110,000km Coilpacks... 3 of them died in one night like dominoes mainly cause of the GReddy eDamage before I done the zener diode fix lol I just keep them as spares now.

The Splitfires are much stronger and are the most recommended coilpack for Skylines. R34's are known for coilpack failure once they reach a certain age, and are known to keep dying one by one after that. So do yourself a favour, do it once do it right, go the splitfires :D

If you really get stuck, R33 Series 2 coilpacks will work but the bolt holes don't line up, but if you can easily get hold of one they can be "made to fit" for a temporary fix till you can get hold of new ones... just ask my tuner :( Drove around like that for a while after the first coilpack fried, then thought meh I'll wait it out, and then lost the 3 in one night, car struggled to get onto the tilt-tray! Probably a god thing that I fixed the eDamage before getting splitfires though

thanks for the help , expensive little buggers arent they! would you be interrested in selling your OEM ones, miss r34? but sumhow i feel like im just putting a bandaid on a bigger problem by not replacing the factory ones! i found sum superspark ones for sale individually on trade me....does anyone know if it would be bad to run one or two new ones mixed with the factory ones?!

Yeah sweet, thanks for the advice, looks like my exhaust upgrade will have wait a bit longer now! might as well replace all 6 and be done with it

hey thanks but ive been having a think about it and i think ill just upgrade the whole set to spitfire or super spark, ive been looking for ways to increase power anyways and might soon exceed the limits of the factory ones !

depends where you buy from then nate.

eg: superspark doesn't provide it?

i know jjr direct ignition comes with 12 month warranty (which you cant beat for $399 + postage [on ebay for $399 with free delivery on special])

some local dealers of splitfire provide warranty also.

    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
