Hi,

Looking to replace the coils in my Stagea, I've got some yellow jacket coils from a spec2 R33 GTST which I tried to fit in my S1 Stagea but it didn't run right and overheated the trans? I don't know how the coils related to the transmission overheating but that only happened when the yellow jackets were fitted.

I was looking on Nengun and it shows the coils for a Stagea being different from R33 spec2 coils, shows them as being the same as R32/R33 GTR coils. Can someone confirm this is correct as the listing on Nengun also shows the engine code for the Stagea as RB25DE.

Thanks

That Hitachi chart looks wrong. Yes DE and DET are the same but should be the same as R34GTR not R33 GTR

Ref their Splitfire chart instead. You need SF DIS 005

http://www.nengun.com/splitfire/super-direct-di-ignition-system

or you can get then in Australia from:

BTW the Yellow Jackets for S2 R33GTST should have fitted your S1 Stagea (although they could have been faulty)

ref YJ RB2526-S2

Hallo bud, as above, the spec 2 r33 gtst coils should have fitted. (You do have s1 rs4?)

Where did you get the yellow jackets from?

They're not necessarily the cheapest but autoextreme can sort you out some decent ones.

Just whatever you do - don't get benchmark ones! I know of more sets that have failed than work lol.

Yea it's a S1 RS4

I can't remember who I bought them from, a UK based tuner probably - would have been about 4 years ago.

Will give autoextreme a look, thanks.

I've never heard of that brand lol. I've been on skylineowners for a while so tend to read up on stuff there, it's just people on here know a lot more about the Stagea.

just get standard coils from kudos motorsport. they are the same price as splitfires.

I'm in the UK so import taxes would make them more expensive.

I put a different set of yellow jackets from my mates R33 in which ran fine but I think the plugs maybe part of the issue.. It'll accelerate fine for the most part but will have a rapid misfire under boost/hard acceleration. I'm going to double check everything else that I've messed about with too (loosening of pipes to get at coils and the 2 stage high boost mod).

If you are using copper plugs they should be something like NGK BCPR6ES but whatever gap them down to 0.8mm. To properly check for boost leaks make up a plug and pressure test to about 20 psi. If its dying under hard acceleration it could be R&R (look it up if you are not familiar with the term Rich and Retard) caused by too much boost.

      The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.

      When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.

      Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.

      This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.

      Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
