Hi Guys,

We are about to launch Yellow Jackets Coil packs for the V35 and V36 models and we have just about finished testing them for production.

Traditionally, before I release them to the market, I like to get a few random SAU'ers on board to give my coils some "real-life" testing and I will need testers for each type.

Please post or PM me if you'd be interested. There's a free set of coils in it for any one who can help out. :)

:cheers:

I don't mind chucking some on my car for you. ATM its a turbo'd VQ35de.

If you really want to give them hell, we can get a few M35 Stagea owners out there to try them- running upto 25psi, and higher under bonnet temps cause of the turbo too. VQ25det are the same coils afaik.

I have a stock 2005 350gt 6MT that is my daily, and does around 200km of city driving a week. If that suits your test requirements, I am happy to test.

Same body but different part number, they probably run a higher coil output voltage as I have never found the limits of the stock VQ25det coils.

I could in a few weeks. The issue is, they won't represent how these will work in most peoples VQ engines as I run much colder plugs, 5 times the cylinder pressure and e85.

Btw Alex, the VQ25dd awd gearbox I was having rebuilt has different (weaker) internals, I have to get mine rebuilt as it won't handle the power. More clutches = more boost. :)

Its called extreme product testing :P

Talk about never ending gearbox story.... I didn't even know you had a DD gearbox. Auto for drags, manual for track = WIN!

Ideally, I want to give these coils a hard time to see what they can handle.

Well if you are happy to throw a set this way I can test them at 30psi in a few weeks. :)

My car doesnt see a hell of a lot of action during the week but is driven hard almost every weekend to make up for it. Would be happy to give them a try if you like. How long would the test run for?

Here's another V36 owner who is happy to give them a go. I have a tendency to thrash the car often (which is why I insist on servicing the car myself every 5000km) so I hope I can be considered one of the extreme testers, for a naturally aspirated vehicle.

Thanks guys. I'll send some PMs out shortly.

Im kind of new to the V series skylines. Can any one confirm for me what other cars/engines are interchangeable with the V35 coil packs and also the V36 coil packs?

Thanks in advance.

V36 (2008-) and Z34 (370Z) use the same VQ37VHR engine although I believe the V36 sedans didn't get this engine until the 2009 model. Otherwise, up until then the V36 sedans got the V35 engine.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?

      See if you can thermal epoxy a heatsink or two onto it?

      The other problem was one of those "oh shit we are going to die moments". Basically the high spec Q50s have a full electric steering rack, and the povo ones had a regular hydraulic rack with an electric pump.  So couple of laps into session 5 as I came into turn 2 (big run off now, happily), the dash turned into a christmas tree and the steering became super heavy and I went well off. I assumed it was a tyre failure so limped to the pits, but everything was OK. But....the master warning light was still on so I checked the DTCs and saw – C13E6 “Heat Protection”. Yes, that bloody steering rack computer sitting where the oil cooler should be has its own sensors and error logic, and decided I was using the steering wheel too much. I really appreciated the helpful information in the manual (my bold) POSSIBLE CAUSE • Continuing the overloading steering (Sports driving in the circuit etc,) “DATA MONITOR” >> “C/M TEMPERATURE”. The rise of steering force motor internal temperature caused the protection function to operate. This is not a system malfunction. INSPECTION END So, basically the electric motor in the steering rack got to 150c, and it decided to shut down without warning for my safety. Didn't feel safe. Short term I'll see if I can duct some air to that motor (the engine bay is sealed pretty tight). Long term, depending on how often this happens, I'll look into swapping the povo spec electric/hydraulic rack in. While the rack should be fine the power supply to the pump will be a pain and might be best to deal with it when I add a PDM.

      And finally, 2 problems I really need to sort.  Firstly as Matt said the auto trans is not happy as it gets hot - I couldn't log the temps but the gauge showed 90o. On the first day I took it out back in Feb, because the coolant was getting hot I never got to any auto trans issues; but on this day by late session 3 and then really clearly in 4 and 5 as it got hotter it just would not shift up. You can hear the issue really clearly at 12:55 and 16:20 on the vid. So the good news is, literally this week Ecutek finally released tuning for the jatco 7 speed. I'll have a chat to Racebox and see what they can do electrically to keep it cooler and to get the gears, if anything. That will likely take some R&D and can only really happen on track as it never gets even warm with road use. I've also picked up some eye wateringly expensive Redline D6 ATF to try, it had the highest viscosity I could find at 100o so we will see if that helps (just waiting for some oil pan gaskets so I can change it properly). If neither of those work I need to remove the coolant/trans interwarmer and the radiator cooler and go to an external cooler....somewhere.....(goodbye washer reservoir?), and if that fails give up on this mad idea and wait for Nissan to release the manual 400R
