Will be placing Splitfire DI coilpacks in my R34 GTT on Monday (04/04/05). Just looking for info on re-gapping my spark plugs to suit. With the addition of the Splitfires I’d like to take full advantage of any available power/torque gains. As far as I know, a new gap of 0.9 should be okay, i.e. not to wide to provoke misfire yet wide enough to get a bigger spark and see some kw gains.

At the moment my plug gap is somewhere between 0.6 or 0.7. My plugs are NGK double platinum and in pretty good condition last checked. I’m running stock boost (8 – 9 psi) with mods as listed below:

- 3” turbo back exhaust

- Apexi Pod filter

- HKS SSQ BOV

If anyone has any experience here let me know if I’m on the right track.

mine gapping is around .8

i dont have any splitfires, but i might have to change too a set soon.

My stock ones are dying i think and the splitfires are just cheaper.

no mention of gap changing when i was discussing with my car workshop. :rofl:

Cheers for the advice, I'll take it to the workshop tomorrow. Should post results of installation late Monday. Keen to see how Splitfires stack up.

Digging this up, my bad -

But I just received my Splitfires last night for my GTT and noticed the instructions said some ignition knocking could occur?

Anyone experienced this or have any pro tips for installation? I was reccomended to gap my plugs back to standard, currently 0.

How did you go mate?

Yup. Had Splitfires on an RB20 running 14 psi on std turbo. Std plug gap. Have Splitfires on 25Neo running 12 psi on std turbo. Std plug gap. You wouldn't expect to have to gap plugs down under such limited increases in demand on the ignition system when running coils that are at least as good as the stockers.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
