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

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
