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.

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
