My coils packs are on the way out and looking to buy some. Just wondering what people think, should i get spit fires or original OEM coil packs.

Also has anyone used a brand called yellow jackets. I believe they sell the cheapest aftermarket coil packs at the moment i think.

http://www.performance-wise.com/page2.htm

Please give me your opinion on these coil packs if you have used them.

Or'

Any other brand coil packs and where to get them cheap. I dont use the car on the race track i drive it as a daily so only a hammer here and there.

Also I am still a student so i am i trying to budget my part time job with maintenance on the car its, hard.

Don't mean to be rude to anyone just don't give me the comment PLEASE

"A cheap show off with nice car"

Had someone say that to me in my face before and I punch him out.

So sorry if i am being rude or offend anyone.

ive got the yellow jackets. been in my car for quite a few months now. no problem at all. running 13-14 psi with a 1mm gap. they worked fine on the 1.1mm gap before my last plug change too.

a lot of people are using these, and i've only heard good feedback on them.

+1 for splitfires

Yellow jackets are probably good but really depends

havent been out long enough to know they last, but then again they havent been out long enough to prove they arent better then others

you can get proven results with splitfires, or get the yellow jackets and be unsure how long they will last.

Also got splitfires not too long ago, no dramas at all. If your after some cheap replacements ive still got my stock set, nothing wrong with them. I changed them thinking mine were stuffed but it was my ECU.

I bought a fresh set of Yellow Jackets about a month ago for my RB25DET Neo and they're going great. Very quick delivery too. For long term performance ask me again in a year's time :)

I reckon a new set of pretty much any coils should be fine. Whatever you do don't buy any second hand OEMs, the only place they should go in is the bin...

A che... lol j/k!

Uhm, i've only heard good things about the yellow jackets and with split fires...well i think everyone knows they're one of the best.

I myself am running the JJR ones but i do know a few people on this 'ere forum have had issues with JJR ones before but justjap have pretty good customer service and will look after you. I only got jjr ones because i got them REALLY cheap. For me, they are performing great - certainly much better than the old set which was a nice set of FETs but getting really old and breaking down.

stock coil packs are the best you can get, as long as you can get them new

the only reason they are mainly no good is because they are to old and have worn out due to heat in the engine bay

absoloutly nothing wrong with good condition stock coils. But there expensive as hell to buy brand new

I had nothing but trouble with various series 2 coilpacks and blowout so I upgraded to LS2 coilpacks. Much better ignition for about the same price.

Yeah the whole coil pack setup is definitely a weak link of the RB design. In the past 6 months I've been tearing out coil packs (and my hair) from my NEO like there's no tomorrow. In 4+ years with the LS1 I never even knew it had coil packs :blink:

  • 2 weeks later...

Been using a set of Yellow Jackets on both my RB20 set up and RB25 set up for about a year now...

They have been good at 2bar and 300rwkw with a 0.7mm gap on the RB20

They started to break down at 0.8mm with 1.6bar running in the RB25, now gapped at 0.6mm and are fine for 385rwkw

Apparently the Nissan ones are very cheap shipped from the USA but if you can't find them Yellow Jackets so far so good :)

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
