Just curious if anyone else has had a bad batch of yellowjackets?

Other mates use them no dramas, but on my car I have had 2x died already. I replaced one with a brand single yellowjacket a few months ago, and now another one has just died.

I don't want to replace this one, and have another die on me.. and by the time I know it I would have gone through all 6 lol.

I've e-mailed performance-wise he might be able to help

The number of failed yellow jackets I have seen in entry level Motorsport events is amazing. Neumerouse power levels and configurations. I'm getting sick off pulling my stock coils out and swapping to prove a point to the people that say " I only just brought them they couldn't be stuffed"

My advice is to just fit brand new oem items as they are a similar price to yellow jackets anyway.

I've done the same kilometres on my car with Yellow Jackets without issue.

Had mine in my old car (Stagea) for around 3-4 years and they did around 80K kms with no issues at all.

I put some in my R34 GTR (same type of coils) about 6 months ago and have done around 15K. so far so good.

Id rather purchase a genuine product from a reputable trader that offers a good long local warranty than some fly by night ebay scammer selling fake OEMs.

Anyone on here had to make a warranty claim on these coils with performance wise? How was the experience?

You are obviously speaking from experience with the ebay oem coils?

deadset simple, Paul was willing to help. Mine were out of warranty and I had no receipt, but he was more than happy to give me a new one at a heavily discounted price

Just went to out my yellow jackets on today and I thought I could just remove old OEM ones and put these ones in sweet as.. But no..

The plug at the top is different to what's on my loom.. And it won't push in.. :( gay

Do I need an adaptor or something?

Sounds like you have ordered the wrong type for your car maybe?

Whats your car and which YJs did you order?

Well they were with the car I didn't purchase them myself. I was told they were for an rb20det. They look exactly like an OEM rb20det coilpack (apart from the colour obviously)

The only difference is my rb20 plugs that go into the top of the coilpack have holes like this _ _ _ but the yellow jacket plug on the coilpack is | | |

I'm talking about the metal bits inside the plug.

I'm not aware what you get in the pack, box was unopened and brand new.

x6 yellow jacket coilpacks

x6 random little black clips

You have the wrong coil packs to suit your car. The ones you have are for the early model RB20 from R31s etc...

Whats the part number on the blue YJ box? Is it YJ-RB20313233?

The coils you need are YJ-RB202526-S1

Wow... Yeah wrong ones.. Only reason I went to change is because I have the 5000rpm missfire problem and I can't see any cracks on my old OEM ones and have no idea how to tape them.

I took today off cause I can't get to work.. Looks like I'm off for a week until I get this crap sorted :(

ive been using yellow jackets on my rb25 running 370hp, been drifting with the car and normal driving ect ect even on very hot days, they run great so far.. my brother also has some on his sr20 running over 300 hp and no issues.. i am really happy with the yellow jackets for sure :)

    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
    • Well this shows me the fuel pump relay is inside the base of the drivers A Pillar, and goes into the main power wire, and it connects to the ignition. The alarm is.... in the base of the drivers A Pillar. The issue is that I'm not getting 12v to the pump at ignition which tells me that relay isn't being triggered. AVS told me the immobiliser should be open until the ignition is active. So once ignition is active, the immobiliser relay should be telling that fuel pump relay to close which completes the circuit. But I'm not getting voltage at the relay in the rear triggered by the ECU, which leaves me back at the same assumption that that relay was never connected into the immobiliser. This is what I'm trying to verify, that my assumption is the most likely scenario and I'll go back to the alarm tech yet again that he needs to fix his work.      Here is the alarms wiring diagram, so my assumption is IM3A, IM3B, or both, aren't connected or improper. But this is all sealed up, with black wiring, and loomed
