I have read a lot of things about the Splitfire coilpacks and they seem to be the go for replacement as mine are starting to die under boost. But i heard people only buying the splitfires because the OEM ones were too expensive.

But it seems the OEM ones are 90$ each which ends up cheaper than the splitfires, would you guys recommend them over the splitfires ? Say for higher than stock power running 20psi boost, or is the splitfires better for non stock skyline.

Also i read that these clamps were good but i cannot remember where i read it from, worth the 50$ for 10 ?

I got some brand new OEM coils for about $500 a set and am running them at 20psi soon to go to 25 psi. Someone said there are some fake OEM around but mine seem fine (bought them off an Aussie on Ebay).

Have you verified theres a problem with the coilpacks? If its an assumption, start with plugs first because there a lot cheaper and you already have good coilpacks. What gap are u running? More boost means smaller gap.

These are from Kudos so i trust they wont stock fake ones!

I change my plugs every 5000kms and use copper plugs gapped at 0.8mm. Quiete often when i gun it and it revs in the highs like 4500+ the car will just die for a second.

And my coilpacks seem original with my 100k+ kms and they have been siliconed in the past.

    • The downside of this is when you try to track the car, as soon as you hit ABS you get introduced to a unbled system. I want to avoid this. I do not want to bleed/flush/jack up the car twice just to bleed the f**kin car.
    • But again, the engineers said your cast aluminium would be fine based on the load that would be stretching that section. Same load stretching the bolts in a flex (not the twist), with a much smaller cross sectional area than the original part you've broken. It's why you'd need to be using higher strength bolts, but that's just making up for the strength you lose with less area...
    • I am truly amazed someone on this planet was able to cycle the pump using a scan tool. I've always ghetto cycled them on Nissan 90s shit boxes by slamming the brakes and pulling the handbrake to agitate the rear wheels enough to cause a speed difference
    • I didn't actually try it at the time but a Launch X431 with the appropriate software licenses/upsell will have the ABS bleed function. The Consult II you can still find some old sets of equipment but they're really, really expensive:   
    • Well I'll start by saying I'm not an engineer. I am going to go with the KiwiCNC ones.  They are made of 7050 alloy have good fillets and radius.  The material alone is in the order of double the strength and fatigue resistance - Those bolts, once torqued correctly place most of the load at the flat face of the mating surface - the 'stretch' you're talking about through torqueing them up would be far more than the extra stretch 'load' placed on them from a steering input or bump. (in my opinion) so I doubt they would flinch.    - but again "not an engineer".      oh and I don't think stitch welding 7050 is a good idea, likely just weaken the material (from what I read)
