Hi all!

I'm running out of spark with my RB25DET S2.

I have fresh sparkplugs and the coilpacks seems externally undamaged.

Anyway, now I'm planning on updating the coilpacks.

There's a bunch of different kinds of aftermarket coilpacks, but are there really any difference between them except the price?

Found this relatively cheap coilpack set on ebay: http://www.ebay.co.u...=item1c27d92b13

Does anyone know how this works? Any good?

Many thanks on the replies!

What's the difference between yellow jackets and the red splitfires? Are they the same?

Splitfires are blue

Splitfires are the best

Nearly 4 years with mine and not a single hiccup.

They will all create spark, but some are more reliable then others

To add to this thread, I recently bought a R33 and went to replaced the spark plugs and to my disbelief, I am running 5x Yellow Jackets and 1x OEM coilpack. So off to eBay I went to try and find 1x Yellow Jacket and instead saw these coilpacks "APPARENTLY" made in Japan and only $250 delivered from Japan... I do however find it too good to be true.

They are backed witha 2 year warranty (no idea how dafuq that's going to work LOL)

Cheap

Look like Superspark Coilpacks

I'm a tad game on trying them, considering the Yellow Jacket distributor wants $100 delivered for just 1x coilpack.. what a rip off!

Seriously - just go Splitfires.

There are so many folk on here that buy everything else but splitfires to save money and have issues with at least 1 of 6.

Some have had them replaced free of charge and again at least 1 failure out of 6.

I've seen 2 reports of these Fuji coilpacks (red) misfiring on N/A skylines, 1 coilpack failing within the first couple of weeks.. i'd hate to see how badly they perform with more added stress (turbo skyline).

I bought genuine oem coils off ebay for my s2 recently for $250 delivered :)

I still can't wrap my head around brand new OEM coils for $250.. when they're like $100+ for each coil from most traders

They were over $1000 a set from Nissan!

I bought an ebay set and they look genuine and seem to work ok. I heard they came from a bankrupted Nissan dealer in the US though why they would have huge stocks of them I don't know. I hope they are not fake but are working so far at 20psi and 280kw. See what happens with a bit more power.

On another note a Stagea owner says his Yellowjackets broke down after 18 months!

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
