There's absolutely no point in doing it.  The LS coils used to be the only way to get a big fat upgrade.  But they are a bit of a pain in the arse to use with narrow dwell limits, problems with fake copies, etc.  The new hotness is modern (truly modern, not the nearly modern that the LS coils are) pencil coils, like they use on just about everything these days.  The usual choices for RBs are Toyota (Yaris, Celica, etc), Audi R8, and even Nissan's own VR38 original coils.  They are all cheap, very powerful, reliable, etc etc.  The Toyota ones are Denso, which would be one of the best manufacturers of these things.  I think both the others are too.

I had the similar convo with the guy in the comments of his post. 

The point in doing this is for the company to make money, because if they work then yes LS coils do provide a better spark than standard coilpacks. But people making LS coil kits for RB's are either

A - relying on skyline owners to usually be tight with their money and are offering an inferior product (to a true smart coil) at a price point more tempting to most people.

B - just behind the times if they think that LS coils are the best option out there in 2018

I suppose the advantage of the truck coils is you can can fit the coil cover back over the top.  Most of the pencil coils are too long.

Herman's design (Platinum Racing Products) fit under the OEM covers as you're supplied with new insulators. 

Haven't fully fitted mine yet because the harness made was cocked up lol. He reversed one coil but didn't leave enough slack on the harness lololol.. All good, replacement harness out this week. 

The Godzilla Motorsport / Billet Coil Kits R35 kit fits under the coil cover too - same kit as fitted to (was fitted to?) KING32 and the MotiveDVD R32 GT-R. 

BCK have their own custom R35 coil available now - tested to extremely high boost, RPM, and power levels.

My kit pictured below:

    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
