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.

    • Have you flushed the initial fluid yet? It should look like a rainbow unicorn shat glitter into it. 2nd or 3rd fluid change is when you party.
    • all brand new unit from Tomei, fluid, bearings, etc. Tomei said they call it a 1.5 lsd because its 100 percent lock up under acceleration and 50 percent under deacceleration.  as I mentioned I used their fluid, install and their break-in procedure, (alot of figure 8's) but even when driving straight, or even slowly backing out of garage for first time, (at 2 mph) then driving to and from figure 8 parking lot, each tire in the rear would sporadically grab, skip, bounce, shutter and skip, shutter back a force I could feel causing clutch to slip then grab, at any speed. shaking entire car. I removed unit, since I put stock back in and all is fine, via process of elimination, its something with the lsd unit itself. I wasn't going to beat up the entire car more or change anything else for no reason as I had a feeling something in the lsd itself was wrong as everything was fine before this alone was installed and I rechecked over everything else after first time backing out I suspected an issue. I'll probably sadly already need new tires now just from trying to drive it 5 miles and performing the figure 8 break in. but if someone has any ideas I'm all ears 
    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
