coilpacks

my worry is, why wouldnt he fix it himself? some lecky tape around the coilpacks is a quick fix... why would you sell a car with issues?

Cause he didn't know what the issue was?

Not everyone knows what causes a misfire in Skylines.

Just a quick reference, splitfire is the only correct fitting replacement, all the others only use 1 bolt and sit slightly angled as the bolt holes are wrong.

Bulshit. I installed YJ on my RB25neo a few weeks ago- perfect fit, sits straight and uses 2 bolts per coil.

hey guys!

bought the car, im in LOVE. i was about to order splitfires tomorrow, but i stumbled across a brand called superspark? the boys at autobarn sell them and they recommended them as a direct replacment for the coilpacks?? 1 guys uses them in hes rb25det and he loves them, they are 495 a set...

has anyone heard of these??

maybe they finally pulled their finger out and got some made properly. it was 4 years ago that i went through all this garbage with my car.

<br />just bought some yellow jackets! cant wait for them to arrive!<br /><br /><br /><br />does anyone know how to change them over?? i cant seem to find where to start lol??<br />

Do you know how to expose the place between the cam covers where the coils live? Cross over pipe off, cover off, undo coil retaining bolts and disconnect the wiring plugs (bloody carefuly because they go brittle in the heat). It's easy. You need 8 an 10mm sockets and spanners, pliers for some of the hose clamps, etc etc. Only takes an hour or so.

Been using them for about a year now perfect fit with no problems also double check your ignition timing too advanced can cause a similar problem when air is cool and dense

I have also been using yellow jacket coils for a year no problems at all. Just make sure you more then an hours time and also change some of the hoses on the cross pipe they are most Likely getting old as well.

There's a guide here:

If you're changing the coilpacks, consider changing or re-gaping the spark plugs (depending on your future mods etc).

Took me more than an hour haha.. the intake pipe going into the throttle body will get in the way of one of the coils as it crosses directly over it.

You can either remove a few pipe clamps/bolts and move it out of the way or completely remove it to access the coilpack.

It's not too hard to get at the coils.

Mine arrived today but I had them delivered to work...and I work from home on Wednesdays....

I got one of the guys I work with to bring them home as he only lives 10 minutes away so I get em at about 630. They should be in by 8.

Also a tip, leave the valley cover off. That way you don't have to stuff around with it every time you want to change your plugs.

Yeeeeehaaaaa!

My problem is fixed and for the first time since I have owned the car (nearly 10 months) it's running flawlessly. I pump it up to 11psi and floor it and it just pulls.

Here's hoping you get the same results.

its akways a good ideah to mate to do your plugs to ngk BCPR6ES

also while its all out do a compression test

I put a set of Iridiums I had kicking about in at the same time.

Compression test can go root a boot. I'll do that if I ever have any concerns that it might be down. The car doesn't get driven hard enough or often enough for me to want to do a preventative comp test.

Just a quick reference, splitfire is the only correct fitting replacement, all the others only use 1 bolt and sit slightly angled as the bolt holes are wrong.

Just a quick reference, you're very, very wrong.

YJs went in perfectly. No angle, bolts lined up perfectly. Fitting was a breeze.

hey guys,

installed 5/6 coil packs tonight, i was working on installing them and the 6th one had a different bracket for the screws to go into, 5 were the same direct fit, where as the 6th one was completely different therefore i could not put it in :( so ive contacted yellow jackets and am awaiting a reply...

on the good side....MY MISSFIRING PROBLEM IS FIXED!!! i changed the 5/6 and used a old one to test the packs and no more misssfiring! so happy!

thank you to everyone who helped aswell :)

i just hope i get to fit the last one soon :(

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
