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.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
