hey all, just deciding on what to purchase as i need new coilpacks, there is someone on these forums selling some 2nd hand splitfires with 15k kms on them for around the same price as a set of new yellow jackets, i cant decide what would be best, brand neweys that arnt as good as splitfires or 2nd handys that are better than YJs but there 2nd hand...

what you guys think?

i personally went the brand new yellow jackets for my 32 GTR

havent installed them yet,

my mechanic said that he hasn't had any problems with them yet. they do the job.

my stockers arent having problems just yet, but its an 89, and i dont know how long they've been in there for? could be original ones for all i know?

it depends on your budget, if you wanna spend the extra $200 on coilpacks and probably not notice the difference then go ahead, but i'd rather save it for something else.

agreed, yellow jacket haven't been round as long as splitfires so they haven't been tested quite as thoroughly, but it seems everyone who uses them is stoked with their performance, and if you get a dudd just send it back...

go the yellow jackets, cheap, new, has plenty of support, and warranty!!

Nengun have Splitfires on special at the moment for $497AU shipped.. just incase you hadnt looked yet.

I just ordered two sets :laugh:

I was going to get yellow jackets myself. But after buying them through the New Zealand distributor it was only going to cost an extra $90.

And i guess the wait.. being Nengun. But i have been pleasantly surprised by them before!

running yellowjackets for 6 months now, 360 rwkw rb25 which see's a LOT of track action, plug gaps are 0.9mm and not a single misfire. also running E85 fuel mix.

pretty much speaks for itself... just get new items instead of some 2nd handies

      Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.

      Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.

      That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!

      Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)

      Was that deliberate?
