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.

      I don't know, I've never done it that way, but 1. While it is an interference engine, there is still clearance between the valves and the piston at all points in the regular timing cycle 2. There is not a lot of distance before you can't catch the top of the valve stem any more I don't know if 2 is greater or less than 1. But 3. If it doesn't work out you are f**ked, engine is coming out to disassemble so it is a big bet.

      Semi slicks are horrible for road use, just use a high performance road tyre unless you really need the maximum grip. Noisy, unpredictable (amazing, until they are not), expensive due to very high wear and not good in cold and particular wet. And yes, it is a thing to store cars on stands instead of tyres if you know they are going to be parked up long term.....but who ever realises that a short park is going to stretch into years before it is out again!

      I know in Australia you'll definitely get above 30c. Parked in the shade in Summer you'll be above that. 😛 But in cooler climates, you might get that warm driving on the highway for a bit, but you'd never get to full heat temp. I'll try and find some of my historical tyre temps between Aus summer and winter (be aware immin the warmer area of Aus too.)

      I get that taking off the head is best but that's a bit much for "just" valve seals. I was just under the impression that one would be able to rotate to TDC and be able to temporarily drop the valve without losing it and effectively having to remove the head to then recover it. I never knew people actually pushed rope into the cylinder to do valve seals hahaha So just to confirm, just going to TDC will not work? In that case I know when I do valve seals I'll maybe just remove the head and do some other things while I'm there, or just wait until I do an engine build.
