There you guys, I put it out there - http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/463398-yellow-jackets-coil-packs-in-high-boost-aplications-need-feedback/?p=7692673

Be interesting to here from the good people of SAU. Feel free to post and please keep it mature.

Don't underestimate the YJ's

They are great quality coil packs at a fraction of the price of all other coils mentioned above.

And will perform as good if not better.

You wont be disappointed.

Unfortunately ATM your coils don't have a great reputation. I had considered them in the past for my sr20 but I came across too many negative experiences. You say you have improved them but where is the proof. If you want to seriously convince us guys then you should take a look at some of the development that another sau trader does on his own products. I won't name him but he buys his own test cars and pays for dyno time to test his products. Therefore there is no doubt about what he is selling as he has put his money where his mouth is and proven the performance. That's how you convince people to buy your stuff and create a good reputation for it.

If your serious about improving the image of yj 's then you'll find a way to prove your product and silence us trolls as you put it.

No. There is no need as the coils have been tested, reworked and vastly improved. Every time there has been a problem I have addressed it and am doing my best to make these a decent product.

I did not come into this thread dissing or putting down any of the other brands, calling them "junk" or "overpriced" etc...... I merely offered the OP an affordable option which is my right to do so as a trader on SAU.

Stop living in the past fellas. Lets maintain some maturity here and look to the future.

NO ONE MENTIONED YOUR BRAND. YOU JUMPED TO THAT CONCLUSION ON YOUR OWN.

If you want to have the brand lose it's reputation you need to stop selling the junk, like the intake pipes that don't fit, the coils that melt etc.

Take some peoples opinion in and stop being so closed minded because of the products you stock.

3 years ago, i took photos and dimensions on how to make your intake pipes fit. Instead of taking this on board, you told me i would have to send the pipe back to china to get a refund... It's a product you stock, which i bought off you. It is your responsibility as a supplier to take these matters on board.

4 years ago i had your coilpacks which melted, you said because i didn't have a receipt anymore, i cannot get a refund. The coils were only ~1-2yrs old at the time, i know this because of the release date which was 5-6 years ago. At the time you had a 2 year warranty on them.

Your way of 'addressing' the problem is palming it off to the manufacturer. I really hope your business ethic has changed in the last 3 years.

It would be great to see yellow jackets competing with splitfires and genuine nissan items, they would be an affordable substitute that i believe most would head towards. But they need to be proven first.

Sending a few sets out to people who are pushing their cars, like john and jaq is a great way to see first hand results on how your revised item is holding up.

If he wanted his cum back, he would have wiped it off your chin..

yeah real mature....

But really mate. No one said anything about the brand you stock, and you jumped on everyone.

What? there was no mention of..... "ignore other posts directing you to junk that will inevitably let you down."????

I stopped selling that intake kit 3 years ago. I have no idea why you think I am still selling it?

Sending back to china where the factory that produce them can sus it out it not a bad request. Especially at no expense to you as the shipping would have been covered.

What do you think happens when splitfires shit them selves? If you are lucky and it happens within the limited 6 month warranty then the distributor will tell you to deal with splitfire and splitfire will tell you to send them back to japan at your expense.

If they find something wrong wont them then they may send you another set. If they say they cannot then you have to pay to get them back yourself. Many companies do this and Im sure you are aware of that.

I would never ask any one fort a receipt. If you purchased the coils from me then I will have your records on file as I keep all sales records.

If you actually purchased the coils from me (which you probably didnt) then I would have honoured the warranty. I always do.

Now, my question to you is, did you purchase the coils from me or someone else?

I'm not sure who Jon and Jaq are sorry? I also need to know that if I send the samples out that they will be treated with respect and not used as guinea cops just to hang more shit on me and my brand.

That comment from adm could have been directed at any brand.

The coils came with the car and were one of the trial sets that were purchased from you when you first started testing the water, so yes they came from you. I gave you the serial code on each one etc

Where in NSW are you located? I'm sure if you headed to WSID or SMSP or Wakefield etc, someone may be willing to give them a go and they can truly be tested under stress. Then you could take them home with you and you wouldn't be out of pocket.

I am being honest when i say that i hope your business ethic has changed, and i can see it has. Admitting there was a problem in which the coils needed updating and addressing is a great sign, along with not selling the dodgy products which don't fit.

Shouldn't you be trying to sell the wiring specialties rb ls coil pack harness?

At least you won't get any negative feedback.

this is a key example of poor customer service and one that really shits me. If you're a retailer selling a product in bulk, as opposed to an individual selling a single new or used item they have, and then wash your hands of it if there's a problem, well that's just shit now isn't it. In this age of faceless businesses operating online, being prepared to take accountability as the point of sale would be key to instilling confidence in your customer. Yes you may not be the manufacturer but if you're promoting something as being suitable for a certain application and it's not, then you need to apply more diligence to ensuring you're accurately marketing a product, and deal with the repercussions directly with the customer, as it's your business they won't be returning to.

(I have no idea on your personal business or the transactions referred to above, I have just been burnt before by companies and been out of pocket paying for a rubbish product...it's shit.)

The kit was sold as sent from a warehouse overseas, therefor it was requested that the kit be sent back to the same warehouse at my expense.

I never tried washing my hands of the problem and did my best to try and find a resolution for this and 3-4 years later, it is still haunting me.

I used to sell the kits under the premise that they were a "direct fit" which turned out to be far from true. Hence why I stopped selling them.

No comment?

Like I said in my previous post above:

"I need to know that if I send the samples out that they will be treated with respect and not used as guinea cops just to hang more shit on me and my brand."

I'd need someone neutral for this that has no bias against the YJs. Who is gonna do that when all nearly all of the tuning shops and people say the same thing "nothing but Chinese shit" .... "OEM or Splitfire"........

I'm still not totally convinced that I need to do this either as I know from my own experience (being in charge of the YJ brand) and customer feedback that the new improved coils are performing extremely well.

In all honesty, I am only being doubted by a tiny handful of the same select few people on this and other forums who like to regularly voice there opinions against my brand (and they have every right to do so of course).

At the end of the day, it comes down to these select few people, who are talking about past experiences which is realistically so long ago know that it isn't really relevant any more.

Saying that a product was shite 5 years ago so it must still be shite now is simply ridiculous and very close minded and wouldn't gel with most level headed people.

Warranty claims on the YJs have decreased dramatically to next to nothing since the improvements were made. This is on a high volume of product distribution too. Not just a few sets here and there.

Sales have not dropped either, they are always growing and my Brand is better, stronger and more worthy now than ever and is here to stay.

I have invested too much time and money into this and failure is not an option.

Fair enough. You don't have a personal vehicle or a friend who has a car that you can put them on for a test dyno run? Surely you can come up with something since you've been selling them so long and made so many $ off them. As far as the intake pipes, it would have been wise from your end to verify if they fit the cars you advertised them for before you started selling them.

Furthermore, no reference was made to your brand in this thread until you yourself brought it up. As you have the right to sell, we have the right to critique your products. We wouldn't call something shit if it wasn't. If it was just a few people on here as you say, then word would have spread amongst the high number of users that the product is actually good and we would be shut down.

I will not openly bag your brand but when the question is asked I will still recommend what is the best bet for standard position coils for Nissans and in my eyes that is OEM and then splitfire. I'm out.

I sell hundreds of different products. Am I supposed to fit every single 1 before I sell them? Who does that?

I took the word of the manufacturer and they stuffed me around. This is HISTORY and the dude that has a problem with it needs to let it go.

I DO NOT sell them and HAVE NOT sold them for years now and this has 0 relevance to this topic.

Reference was made when YOU said "ignore other posts directing you to junk that will inevitably let you down".. I'm not an idiot mate. I know what the you were carrying on about.

Like I said, there is a select few people that like to comment on every single coil thread that is posted. Most normal people don't seek out the coil threads and say the same thing over and over an over.

When a person gets on the thread and says that they have been successfully running YJs in high boost applications, you all ignore the post and just continue to bitch and whinge.

Also, so when you say you will not openly bag the brand, then why do you post things like this:

We should start a yellow jackets thread similar to the Edward lees one, so it becomes the first thing that comes up on Google when yellow jackets is searched.

No matter what I say though, you guys will continue to hang shit on me and my brand so I'm just wasting my efforts.

    • Did this end up working? Did you take some pictures?
    • And finally, the front lower mount. It was doubly weird. Firstly, the lower mount is held in with a bracket that has 3 bolts (it also acts as the steering lock stop), and then a nut on the shock lower mount itself. So, remove the 3x 14mm head bolts , then the 17mm nut that holds the shock in. From there, you can't actually remove the shock from the lower mount bolt (took me a while to work that out....) Sadly I don't have a pic of the other side, but the swaybar mounts to the same bolt that holds the shock in. You need to push that swaybar mount/bolt back so the shock can be pulled out past the lower control arm.  In this pic you can see the bolt partly pushed back, but it had to go further than that to release the shock. Once the shock is out, putting the new one in is "reverse of disassembly". Put the top of the shock through at least one hole and put a nut on loosely to hold it in place. Put the lower end in place and push the swaybar mount / shock bolt back in place, then loosely attach the other 2 top nuts. Bolt the bracket back in place with the 14mm head bolts and finally put the nut onto the lower bolt. Done....you have new suspension on your v37!
    • And now to the front.  No pics of the 3 nuts holding the front struts on, they are easy to spot. Undo 2 and leave the closest one on loosely. Underneath we have to deal with the wiring again, but this time its worse because the plug is behind the guard liner. You'll have to decide how much of the guard liner to remove, I undid the lower liner's top, inside and lower clips, but didn't pull it full off the guard. Same issue undoing the plug as at the rear, you need to firmly push the release clip from below while equally firmly gripping the plug body and pulling it out of  the socket. I used my fancy electrical disconnect pliers to get in there There is also one clip for the wiring, unlike at the rear I could not get behind it so just had to lever it up and out.....not in great condition to re-use in future.
    • Onto the rear lower shock mount. It's worth starting with a decent degrease to remove 10+ years of road grime, and perhaps also spray a penetrating oil on the shock lower nut. Don't forget to include the shock wiring and plug in the clean.... Deal with the wiring first; you need to release 2 clips where the wiring goes into the bracket (use long nose pliers behind the bracket to compress the clip so you can reuse it), and the rubber mount slides out, then release the plug.  I found it very hard to unplug, from underneath you can compress the tab with a screwdriver or similar, and gently but firmly pull the plug out of the socket (regular pliers may help but don't put too much pressure on the plastic. The lower mount is straightforward, 17mm nut and you can pull the shock out. As I wasn't putting a standard shock back in, I gave the car side wiring socket a generous gob of dialectric grease to keep crap out in the future. Putting the new shock in is straightforward, feed it into at least 1 of the bolt holes at the top and reach around to put a nut on it to hold it up. Then put on the other 2 top nuts loosely and put the shock onto the lower mounting bolt (you may need to lift the hub a little if the new shock is shorter). Tighten the lower nut and 3 upper nuts and you are done. In my case the BC Racing shocks came assembled for the fronts, but the rears needed to re-use the factory strut tops. For that you need spring compressors to take the pressure off the top nut (they are compressed enough when the spring can move between the top and bottom spring seats. Then a 17mm ring spanner to undo the nut while using an 8mm open spanner to stop the shaft turning (or, if you are really lucky you might get it off with a rattle gun).
    • You will now be able to lift the parcel shelf trim enough to get to the shock cover bolts; if you need to full remove the parcel shelf trim for some reason you also remove the escutcheons around the rear seat release and you will have to unplug the high stop light wiring from the boot. Next up is removal of the bracket; 6 nuts and a bolt Good news, you've finally got to the strut top! Remove the dust cover and the 3 shock mount nuts (perhaps leave 1 on lightly for now....) Same on the other side, but easier now you've done it all before
