fair cop, the only worry i would have with cutting a bar up would be the strength it would lose, but in saying that, i have seen some interesting things done, like putting a bar across to give the strength back

been trying to talk the misses into justifying a set of splitfire coil packs, but she keeps asking "what is the benefits to them, i don't want to spend $600 + on something thats not going to do much", so i'm just wanting to get some info to tell her and let me spend the money, i have heard that they are a good idea to get but thats about it.

only necessary if your old ones are cactus man, and ive heard good things about the cheaper variations anyways.

Either way new coilpacks are gonna be better than your 15-20 yr old ones :) more cleaner spark, and technically more power....but very minimal. if anything it will fix slight stutters or hesitations...or whatever small issue your R33 has :whistling:thinking about a set for mine too. as its starting to break down after 4k rpm in cold night air (sometimes)

Yellow Jacket coil packs are just as good and cheaper too, spend your money wisely what sort of power are you chasing and how do you want the car to perform? We can help with suggestions a lot more if we know what te end goal is.

for example I have:

1998 R34GTT

yellow jacket coilpacks

power fc

full 3" exhaust

return flow FMIC

hks mushroom pod intake

.8mm gapped plugs

Dyno tuned to make 210 rwkw's

chasing: 230 rwkw's

Plans to get there:

replace FMIC with a hybrid one and retune (4.5 psi drop in cooler atm)

Are you still running the standard turbo?

AND what are you doing with your old cooler :ph34r:

The only criticism I have with the yellow jacks is the coil moves around the centre mounting bracket. Have seen it now on a few, but still can't beat the price.

Good to hear you have another cooler on the way Clint. Has to be better then the other by miles lol.

Yeah standard turbo and injectors I recon it can pull another 20kw's before i need to upgrade the fuel system and turbo.

it's a return feed style on it's got $400 on it as soon as it comes out so whoever throws cash at me first gets to enjoy it.

Have fun at lakeside boys !! /sadface

So much god damn fun only managed to pull 175 down the straight (wet weather and i ran out of room)

yeah they wiggle a bit but have yet to see one fail,

New cooler will be going in next weekend I hope and then back to Pete for a tune asap, I went with a hybrid as they have a good track record with low pressure drop coolers.

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
