Before I get hammered for not using the search button - I have searched for the past 30 mins trying to find the answer.

I am doing some mods to my 33 gts-t series 2 aiming for around 300rwkw. I just assumed that I would need to upgrade my coil packs to Splitfires but my mate reckons its just series 1's that have the problem when chasing more power and the series 2 coilpacks are fine for 300rwkw. Is this true ?

your mate needs a f**king slap.

oem coil packs are the best. period.

you may need to change them if they are old and breaking down. people go for split fires because they are good and reliable and cheaper than oem.

What Plattsy said.

Basically, if you start modding it and they begin to break down then yeah you should replace. OEM work fine, I'd only buy Splitfire if they are a good price.

Any coil pack will break down when they get older and older. Some cars might make 300+ before the coils give issues, others even stock will start to die.

My factory coils broke down at 100k with only 200kw but it was just an age thing NOT power related.....

Been running splitfires for 4 years now and am now running 390ish kw and NO problem at all :)

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
