I did use the search function but all I found is built thread with people saying they have a DLI installed lol..

I bought a HKS DLI with the idea to buy a brand new set of coilpack to replace my 20yr old oem coilpacks. I know OEM coilpacks can be good up to 800whp. ( If I break the 500whp I will call it a day lol). I also know that brand new coilpacks can give you an extra 3-6whp.

1) Can coilpacks, after times ( in my case 20 yr old lol), becomes less efficient? Would a HKS twin power boost the spark and make them act like brand new coils?

2) Can I really see a gain if I get brand new OEM coils + the HKS DLI ? Or I'm better with only a new set?

If both situation get the same result, I rather buy a set of coilpack then keep old coilpacks and add an extra metal box in my motor.

Is it wise to change the coilpack loom while I'm there too?

Personally, I'd buy a new set of OEM coils and install the HKS DLI if I have any spark issues (ensure your gaps and heat range are correct) but 500whp is pretty stable for new OEM coils. If you have it though, you could always install it I guess.

As for your ignition harness, if it's crispy or you have some connectors that are starting to break, I have one with less than 1,000km on it, bought last year. Shipping from someone close ;)

I had my stock coil packs start to break down over 20psi (370ish rwkw)....while using the Twin spark. Went and bought a new set of stock coils and all good.

Personally in your case I would buy a new set of coils.... and if you still have issues then chuck a twin spark at it.

This exactly.

You've purchased stuff backwards.

Replace the coils first, if issues persist then use the DLI

instead of paying well over $1k for an OEM coil pack, get a set of spitfires.

I run Spitfire coils and a HKS TwinSpark. No spark issues. @ 620hp atw.

we tested brand new oem vs splitfires and found we could run more boost with the oem ones.. even SR20 ones.

New oem ones are now cheaper than splitfires....

ATM the coil packs average $55usd each brand new...

that,s the thing.. At my local dealer, they sell 6 coilpacks for 300$ tax included LOLLLLL 2x cheaper than spitfire or 150$ less than yellowjacket.

and my friend needed money quick and sold me his twin power for least than half the MSRP. I couldn't say no. Worst case, I will simply sell it back.

Very good point... OEM are great but when they are 10-20 years old they need replacing!

I was unaware you could get them that cheap now days, last time I looked they were about $200 each :(

locally you can't get them that cheap, Nissan Aus i don't believe have altered pricing.

For some odd reason, Nissan US have some items much cheaper in some instances.

Yeah all my parts now come from the US, generally 5 day from order to door.

Sux i know not to support local business but if its half price in another country including freight then im sorry... your not competitive.

Just get onto a supplier, some stuff is cheaper - some stuff just isn't.

NFI what governs pricing, but its likely as a GTR was sold here (32) they are putting it up.

They weren't locally delivered there so perhaps not so much profiteering going on.

I mean just for a CAS, there is a $400 "Nissan" markup over what Mitsu charge them for it

I upgraded to LS2 Truck Coil Packs. No more ignition problems and they outperform the others.

just makes for an untidy engine bay and introduces plug leads into the equation which is another point of failure. Put new oem coilpacks in and ignore them for another 10 years :P

      So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch

      It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.

      As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.

      Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
