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!

lmao!!!!! that sounds about right, where is splitfire made in japan or usa or something right???

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.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
