Hi All...

My coil packs seem to be getting worse, and I'm afraid I do not have the technical ability to silicon them up.

Splitfires seem to be the expensive option and I was just wondering if there is anything in between which will give me back my peak power...

Nengun seem to have the cheapest price for the Splitfires, but can someone give me the FINAL landed costs for these?

Cheers.

I reckon you could learn to mix two pack glue and apply for a lot less than the price of splitfires... Can you see them tracking in the dark? If not I would start by gapping your plugs. Even if your car has Jap heat range plugs will give drama's

We have on car with Splitfires one with OEM. For mine and anything less than a fire breather OEM.

TT

Yes they have gone up, I payed $710 plus postage of $60 (along with other parts) arrived one week later after payment.

I bought S2 coils for my S1 so I didnt have to use the igniter, coil loom had to be rewired.

Please please tell me was this a hard job? Please please tell me where I can get the opposite done in Sydney, I bought these damned Spitfire series 1 packs afer I found out my car is a series 1.5 (this means i need the series 2 coils), dont ask why I didnt research...Long story, Help!

Don't waste your time and money with buying 2nd hand stock nissan coils or gluing them up.

I had/have buggered coils so I bought 2 other 2nd hand 1's ($30ea) and it felt ok for a month or so. Then I araldited them all up ($10 and took me a week to do it coz it takes a solid 24hrs for each coil to dry) and they were good again for a month. Now they are up shit creek again so I bit the bullet and ordered some Splitfires from Nengun (about 3wks ago).

Still waiting for them to arrive (damn xmas/new years holidays) but it has cost me $615 delivered and atleast I know that when I fit them they will all be working 100%.

Edit: Be wary of Ebay (I know I know everybody says that) however I nearly lost $700 on there a few months back when I won an auction and the guy didnt have the item and didnt want to post them to me. Took me a month of heartache to get my money back.

Targa Tom is spot on.

Pull the black cover off, turn the lights off in your garage, the eyecrometer will tell you everything you need to know. I had the dreaded coil pack issues, turned out to be moisture. Spray them liberally with silicon spray every time you do the plugs. Leave the cover off to prevent them overheating. No troubles in the last 18 months.

Standard coils are good for big HP. Only a firebreather needs aftermarket coils.

    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
