Coil Packs?

[wgoos]

i have an RB25DET Series 2 R33 Skyline with a series 1 ignition loom, 1 of my coil packs has karked it so i've decided to replace the lot as there all looking pretty old and worn.

question 1.

should i buy series 1 or series 2 coil packs? is there any difference?

question 2.

will my ignition loom clips plug into series 1 & series 2 coil packs??

question 3.

what are the best coil packs on the market? Splitfire, Yellow Jacket?? etc..

im not sure why my series 2 RB25DET is running a series 1 loom, it was done by the old owner, im sure there is a good explanation for it tho, if anyone thinks its not a good idea please let me know, id hate to damage something.

so you have an ignitor pack at the back of the rocker cover? in that case you will want s1 coil packs. or you could ditch the ignitor pack and get s2 coils (may require a touch of modification to sort the wiring out).

yeah i have an igniter pack at the back of the rocker cover, i was just asking because i wasnt sure if series 1 coil packs would run well with a series 2 engine, would it run more natural with a series 2 wire setup? or should it be the same either way?

[mad082]

be the same either way. all that is different is that the series 2 coils have an inbuilt ignitor and the s1 have an external ignitor.

Anyone had experiences with Yellow Jacket?

[mad082]

mate of mine has. he's not had any problems with them. from the moment he put them in the car even idled better than with the stockers, and they weren't failing yet.

OEM coil packs are roughly $1,200 for a set of 6 according to another forum, yellow jackets have a good reputation on SAU forums, im thinking about getting a set when tax comes in, good reputation, less then $400, not to bad if you ask me.
