Well Paul, I'm a bit dirty on Yellow Jackets at the moment because I just had a set fitted to my modified, series 2 Stagea RSFour S and then went to Wakefield to do a supersprint last Sunday week. The car went like a dream on the way down but I didn't even complete one lap before one of the new coilpacks died and the car was on 5 cylinders.

I limped home, having wasted $195 entry fee and the petrol to get there. The next day I went back to the workshop (O2 Autosport at South Nowra) who confirmed the coilpack problem and ordered a replacement under warranty. As of last Friday the replacement still hadn't arrived.

So yes, I would test your new series of coil pack but how about compensating me for the loss I incurred because of your faulty one?

At least getting a replacement to O2 Autosport would be nice...

Hope I hear something back from you,

Paul Merry

Hi Paul,

The testing stage has been completed and these have been in circulation for around 6 months now but thanks very much for your offer.

I have been in constant contact with Geoff from 02 Autosports regarding the Faulty coil. I sent a replacement to them the same day they contacted me and it should have arrived by Wednesday or Thursday of last week. I recommend they check at their local post office as it is probably sitting their, awaiting collection.

I myself am also still waiting for 02 to send me the faulty coil pack, which they have not done so as yet, nor have they confirmed that they will be doing so either. I have asked them a couple of times but they havent confirmed that they will send it back to me at all.

This is the first instance I have had with the NEO coil packs and Id like to get this faulty one back so we can figure out what went wrong.

Ive also sold around 70 sets since we released them late last year with 0 return rate due to failure.

Thats over 400 individual coil packs and yours is the first to have any issues.

Im sorry that this has happened and I am doing what I can to rectify this situation and so far, I have more than honored the warranty by sending the replacement (even without ever seeing the faulty one) but I also need 02's co-operation here.

I trust you understand and Im sure this issue will be sorted out shortly.

Regards,

Paul.

i'd just like to point out that mine are still going strong. and they probably see more of a hard time then most would! RB25 neo, E85, GTX3076, 1.4 bar, 350ish rwkw and not a single missfire ever. used in my competition drift car and have done many track days on them.

Thats Awesome. I always like hearing good feedback about the coils. Im glad they are looking after you. :cheers:

    • I got back to Japan in January and was keen to get back on track as quickly as possible. Europe is god-awful for track accessibility (by comparison), so I picked up a first-gen GT86 in December just to have something I could jump into right away. The Skyline came over in a container this time and landed in early January. It was a bit battered after Europe, though—I refused to do anything beyond essential upkeep while it was over there. The clutch master cylinder gave out, and so did the power steering. I didn’t even bother changing the oil; it was the same stuff that went in just before I left Japan the first time. Naughty. Power steering parts would’ve cost double with shipping and taxes, so knowing I’d be heading back to Japan, I just postponed it and powered through the arm workout. It took a solid three months to get the car back on the road. Registration was a nightmare this time around. There were a bunch of BS fees to navigate, and sourcing parts was a headache. I needed stock seats for shaken, mistakenly blew 34k JPY on some ENR34 seats—which, of course, didn’t fit—then ended up having the car’s technical sheet amended to register it as a two-seater with the Brides. Then there’s the GT86. Amazing car. Does everything I want it to do. Parts are cheap, easy to find, and I don’t care what anyone says—it’s super rewarding to drive. I’ve done a few basic mods: diff ratio, coilovers, discs, pads, seat, etc. It already had a new exhaust manifold and the 180kph limiter removed, so I assume it’s running some kind of map. I’ve just been thrashing it at the track non-stop—mostly Fuji Speedway now, since I need something with higher speed after all that autobahn time. The wheels on the R34 always pissed me off—too big, and it was a nightmare getting tires to fit properly under the arches. So I threw in the towel and bought something that fits better. Looks way cleaner too (at least to me)—less hotboy, less attention-seeking. Still an R34, though. Now for future plans. There are a few things still outstanding with the car. First up, the rear subframe needs an overhaul—that’s priority one. Next, I need to figure out an engine rebuild plan. No timeline yet, but I want to keep it economical—not cutting corners, just not throwing tens of thousands at a mechanic I can barely communicate with. And finally, paint. Plus a bit of tidying up here and there.  
    • Nope, needed to clearance under the bar a little with a heat gun, a 1/2" extension as the "clearancer", and big hammer, I was aware of this from the onset, they fit a 2.0 with this intake no problems, but, the 2.5 is around 15mm taller than a 2.0, so "clearancing" was required  It "just" touched when test fitting, now, I have about 10mm of clearance  You cannot see where it was done, and so far, there's no contact when giving it the beans Happy days
    • It's been a while since I've updated this thread. The last year (and some) has been very hectic. In the second-half of 2024 I took the R34 on a trip through Germany, Italy, France and Switzerland - it was f*cking great. I got a little annoyed with the attention the car was getting around Europe and really didn't drive it that much. I could barely work on the car since I was living in an inner-city apartment (with underground parking). During the trip, the car lost power steering in France - split hose - and I ended up driving around 4,000kms with no power steering.  There were a few Nurburgring trips here and there, but in total the R34 amassed just shy of 7,000kms on European roads. Long story short, I broke up with the reason I was transferred to Europe for and requested to be moved back to Japan. The E90, loved it. It was a sunk cost of around EUR 10,000 and I sold it to a friend for EUR 1,500 just to get rid of it quickly. Trust me, moving countries f*cking sucks and I could not be bothered to be as methodical as I was the first time around.
    • I assume clearances were all a-okay?
