cant say i have had much luck with superspark's. my first set started missing about a week into use. then got another set on warrenty and there also starting to miss after a few months of use. had to re gape the plugs to make it not splutter under boost.

Well even though both are good, the owner of Superspark has a reputation for honouring his warranty; whereas Splitfire is reluctant to do so.

Looms need to still be in good condition in case some questions arise.

i don't care about how much they are, i just want something that will just work, and keep working, ive had so many problems with coilpacks im up to my 3ed set so i just want something good.

Insufficient info...

Are your looms flexible as they should be?

Does your car use an ignitor?

Over how may kms and under what sort of load is your car going through?

how flexible does the loom have to be? i don't think mines flexible at all

i have an ignitor

she has done 114541 ks

and my car just goes through everyday driving for now.

What coilpacks are in your car now? If you are simply replacing 15 year old Nissan coilpacks with second hand 15 year old Nissan coilpacks then obviously you will still have problems.

Brand new Nissan coilpacks are the best you can get however quite dear. Hence why every one goes Splitfire coilpacks. Everything else made in Taiwan or China is obviously not going to be as good quality. Hence the price being so much cheaper.

If you are still having missfire problems even on brand new coilpacks then the issue lies elsewhere.

sorry to dig up an old post, going through missfire problems saw this post liked the cheapfix.

Question, would you bother to go one step further and remove spark plugs tape over thread/seat surface and EURTHANE SEAL COAT the spark tubes and surrounding end to end of the head.

    • 12+ months passed so they have no obligation to do a warranty claim. It leaked from the rear circuit. Front circuit was fine, but I tried many times to bench-bleed and in-car bleed (wasted 1L of Penrite racing brake fluid) to no avail. Threw my old BM50 or whatever the standard R32 GT-R BMC is, brakes went back to normal. So from my very limited anecdotal experience, I cannot recommend HFM, even though a lot of their products looks good. Just my experience (I have a genuine Nissan BM57 in a box waiting to be installed now).
    • How dare you sell your unreliable Skyline and buy a reliable, Toyota/Yamaha car with a strong gearbox, torsen LSD and Toyota reliability. At least you won't need to worry about oil pumps, big catch can, oil restrictors, blowing off power steering belts, sheering off 3rd gear, failing ABS relays/pumps, etc.
    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
