I have tried two types of coil packs, firstly superspark, now with these, i will just go ahead and say they are rubbish, because i bought a set and they failed after a couple of months, then i took it for warranty and they sent a few spare ones, they worked for a while and started missfiring again. i would just stay clear of these ones!, Now the second brand was splitfire, i have had no problem what so ever with these ones, so it prooves the superspark ones are shit quality, you can even see with the mould quality with the two brands. Just pay the extra $200 or whatever and get splitfires, it will save you money and hassle in the long run.....

The yellow jackets from perfornance wise are also good coils, lots of ppl on GTRC using them.I also have yellow jackets and have no complaints.

well then i guess thats another good brand, i was thinking of getting them, but wasnt sure and didnt want to risk it again....

ive got them and holding up with 300 rwkw's worth of drift car...so far so good.

I must have gotten a bad batch or something, thats still pretty bad because i paid $499 at autobarn... they arent really that cheap either, for the extra $150 or so i would rather the splitfires....

all the china coils are from the same factory with different colours and branding but the same coils

in 7 years of selling splitfires ive had 1 s15 coil fail after 1.5 years of use on a heavily modified engine

we sell at least 50 sets per year

my favourite china coil story to recount is the car that came in with a bad misfire and the china coil had melted into a pool in the spark plug valley

classic!

i agree with the supersparks. the dealer purchased these and put them in my car before i bought it and they failed in a few months so i bought splitfires and have had no problems since.

yer exactly the same problem with me, only worked for a few months and then failed...the splitfires even feel more smoother than the supersparks

That is not true. Yellow Jackets Coil Packs are not made in the same factory as the other red ones.

Please get your facts straight before stating so publically. Thanks.

I used to sell Splitfires for around 3 years (approx 80 sets/year) and have had at least 3 sets returned due to faults in that period.

I now sell around 370 sets/year of Yellow Jackets and have had only 5 coils (not sets) fail in that period and we threw them straight under the microscope for testing and the "wrinkles" were identified and ironed out immediately.

      Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
