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.

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
