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 wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
