I'd love to get them but I'm broke atm lol well I don't know if he will want to replace them now since I threatened him with accc he hasn't replied since lol

I've made a complaint with accc and also maybe a dispute on PayPal and on the end of the comments I copied and pasted the accc complaint number lol.i bet this jerk will get away with it. I bet all the perfect please saying yellow jackets are good are running closer to stock boost. They'll be nice for a rude awakening when they want more power and notice they also gained alot of misfire with they upped boost lol

I think I'll just get accc involved. It's such a waste of time getting a new set if they're weak pieces of shit anyway that can't even handle 18psi. No spark blow out at high boost my arse that's false advertisement. So much for satisfaction guaranteed. More like hassle and wasting time and money guaranteed, he can stick the set of coils up his arse

I told him about accc and strongly insisted on a refund and all he replied was, I can only offer an exchange under warranty. This complied with consumer law in Australia. So I guess I'm stuck. Maybe I'll just get a new set of 6 and try sell them and buy splitfires. Such a stuff around. Guys a jerk

had a quick read through that.and to me it would fall under a major problem so i think i should be able to get a refund. he just replied again and said he wont refund them and i mentioned that in his ad they mention no spark blow out at high boost and satisfaction garunteed and throttle response ( which has gone down now after gapping plugs lower)

I'll take it for a drive soon. But as far I know it's above 14k all the time according to the power fc Hand controller. I bought the coil packs November 6th. So that 45 days with PayPal is out the window I guess. Got another reply and he said he will only replace the faulty coils

I responded again saying I much rather a refund and explained the reasons why and that I had spent alot getting it tuned and will have to again etc.see what he says this time. If he doesn't agree I'll look into the PayPal dispute thinh

It was paid using PayPal so that sounds promising. I responded to the guy saying u would prefer a, refund and he just replied I can replace the faulty coils. Cheeky prick lol. I gapped the plugs down to 0.6mm and the misfire improved alot. But it feels like it's lacking a bit down low now. Car only was misfiring under heavy load on 18psi otherwise it was fine. So not sure how I would test the coils. What a pain. I'll have to keep insisting

update on the ebay dude:If it is a faulty coil then it would only be 1. It wouldn't be all 6 at the same time. This alone is an extremely rare occurrence as a lot of care goes into these coils during the manufacturing process. We will need isolate the single faulty coil though so it can be replaced under warranty. Thanks. whats my reply going to be ? should i go for replacements or keep insisting on a refund. to me replacing them is more hassle and seems a waste of time if they're going to keep failing

yeah im just gapping them down for a temporary fix, didnt realise you lose low throttle response though car is already poor on petrol lol lucky to get 300km out of a full a tank . coilpack loom look looks like new from my untrained eyes. coilpacks look very clean i took two of them off earlier, i didnt use dielectric grease though i'll lhave to look into that

before reading replies i figured out how to put the gap back up haha i found my round medallion tool and used that. i checked 2 spark plugs and the gap was 0.75mm ..they were supposed to be 0.9mm. unless im measuring it wrong but i span the medallion around carefully till it stopped moving and its where it landed. i'll do the rest tomorrow so i can see what im doing lol

quick question ,what if you over tap the spark plug and the gaps to small. what do you use to widen the gap without damaging it ?

alright alright lol i'll get a feeler gauge tomorrow. i guess its something i do need to learn for myself

i think my best bet is to email trent and ask for some help if he's got time.im sure all of that stuff would of been checked while tuning ? if i had other coils to try i would do it right now and im 99% positive there would be no misfire. tomorrow i'll be taking out the plugs and ill take it to someone to gap them properly for me and see what happens

i got a reply from the guy on ebay that sold me that coilpacks: The coils are brand new too though. You need to confirm there are no other underlying issues with the car, such as: - Ensure that the coils are mounted and plugged in properly and the rubber boots are seated correctly and the springs are making good contact with the spark plugs. (This is the most common cause for a misfiring coil pack). - Check that the coil wiring loom isn’t old and brittle or faulty. - Check the CAS (Crank Angle Sensor) as it may be faulty. - Check the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) as it may be faulty. - Check the AFM (Air Flow Meter) / MAF (Mass Air Flow) meter as it may be faulty. - Even the ECU settings may affect how the coils operate. Please ensure the ECU you are using does not need to be retuned or reset to accommodate the new coil packs. now i know the coil packs are definitely on properly,wiring loom is good, but not sure on the other things but i would assume that would of been checked over while tuning. So what do i say in reply ?

i'll have a look into using LS coils. havent read anything on it to be honest. is it cheaper then going splitfires ? lol

I did attempt to gap an old spark plug using one of those Rosen medallion type gap tools but it juat wasn't going right for me lol I'll look for a feeler gauge but probably be easier for me to get someone else to do it haha. Yeah I'm thinking coils too from the bad things I'm hearing about them. They sounded promising at the time and I was reading mostly good things but I guess I must of just been looking for the good things being said wish I waited and bought splitfire. I don't know of they'll refund me of not. Fingers crossed!

yeah i'll get them regapped and go from there. but if i can be making more power then why not chase it.unless its going to cost a fortune then i'll leave it as it is. may be a number but in my mind 260 and over would make me happy lol i'll take out the plugs tomorrow and get someone to gap them for me.

whoa 40kws more then me, now i'm even more devastated lol would the difference in power be due to the bad coils/plugs? big difference !! i was expecting closer to 260 and was pretty disappointed with what i got. trent recommended NGK bcpr7eix gapped down to 0.55mm so ill give those a go and see if it improves. i wont bother getting a touch up tune till i can get splitfires put in. Really hope i can get closer to 260rwkws!

here's the dyno sheets. really hoping i can get more power with a touch up with splitfires

i'll have someone do the sparkies for me since im retarded at doing little things like that. and if that doesnt work i guess i know its 100% the coilpacks. so you guys recon i could gain a bit more power with splitfires if that might of been the limiting factor. apart from the misfiring the car drives fantastic now after the tune and cold star issues have gone and gained a decent amount of power on the dyno. can someone tell me why it wouldnt be misfiring while on dyno but misfiring while driven on the road ? first time i had any car tuned so new to all of this

thanks for the quick replies plugs that are in now are ngk Bcpr7ES 0.9mm i didnt regap them as i never done it before and it didnt want to stuff it up lol. They were changed same time as coil packs. i've emailed the place i bought the coilpacks from and asked for a refund so ill see what happens. ill be pissed if they dont refund me will i need a touch up tune when if i change coilpacks ?

hey, so just had my r33 gts-t tuned for the first time. these are the mods: 3inch custom turbo back exhaust HKS GT-RS turbo Nismo 550cc injectors yellow jacket coil packs ngk Bcpr7ES 0.9mm spark z32 AFM Nismo fuel pump Blitz return flow intercooler Apexi power fc Apexi pod filter Drift catch can Greddy sm integrate gauges (boost, oil temp, oil pressure, water temp, fuel pressure) Greddy EBC Car made 237kw at the wheels on 18 psi and just under 200 kw on low boost setting (12 psi) it was all good on the dyno but on the road using high boost it was misfiring horribly when booting it. Trent,who tuned the car mentioned that when he took it for a drive that it did misfire but then it went away and wasn't doing it. maybe its my driving but it was horrible when i took it for a spin. He said it might need better gapped spark plugs to help the coil packs and mentioned that yellow jackets are known for misfiring, which upsets me since i bought them less then months ago. Car drives great on low boost atleast but thats no fun at all lol Anyone else have similar experiences with yellow jackets ? could 0.8mm gapped spark plugs make it any better or is it worth begging for a refund for the yellow jackets and going splitfires ? Does 237kw seem a bit low for 18psi ? what could be causing it to be a bit down on power ? was expecting over 250kws to be honest from what i had seen on the forums i'll see if my scanner works and post up dyno sheets

i kind of like working actually lol i've been doing odd jobs every now and then where i can get a lift to it lol would love to have some extra cash that i can waste on my new car suppose i should spend some one my fiance too...

i've got one lined up mate lol they're letting me know in a few weeks. fingers crossed !! every job i went for said i needed my own transport. so i got it not that this matters on a car forum ?
