Splitfires or possibly Yellowjackets but none of the rest has a track record.

Or look at getting some of these (my next coils):

or with the price of freight fom the US these days may be cheaper to buy them from NZ

or direct from their website:

my yellow jackets started breaking down pretty badly after 18 months.

decided to spend the extra and have some okada projects plasma direct coils now, so far so good

Did you get them from the US or Japan (I believe they are made in the US)?

Do they plug straight in or do you have to use leads?

And what was the cost for 6?

Okada projects will be at least $1600. I was looking at them till i seen the price. Now im looking at MSD LS2 coils.

Have you had a look at these Ray? I will be getting some next year:

payed around $1000 for the 6 so quite a bit more expensive than most of the other alternatives,

yes they plug straight in

i beleive they came out of japan, i got them from here http://www.hioctanedirect.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25&zenid=kg6vv9nv4it167qe4h7cnsoce7

Prob wouldnt work out cheaper after the freight. Besides LS2 coils are more readily available.

also had the same dilemma. just bit the bullet and went splitfires.

difference is amazing , but i guess any coils would show that vast difference compared to the 15 year old coilpacks.

in anycase , yellow jackets have been shown to fail some of the time as well , much less then splitfires do.

i would suggest splitfires, dont touch the $250 cheap coils....

I have had yellow jackets for over 2 years in my stock S1 with no drama's so far. At the time they were a bit cheaper than the splitfires so I went for them.

Having said that I have run splitfires in my GTST and GTR in the past.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
