Splitfire Coilpack Compatibility

[TinMan]

Hi all,

I bought a set of SplitFire coils from an online auction that were advertised only as R34.

To my dismay when they arrived I saw the list of models printed on the back of the box and mine wasn't there.

My car is an R34 RB25DE Neo.

The coils I got were SF-DIS-005.

On the back of the box the Skyline models listed are:

ER33, ECR33 RB25DE

ER33, ECR33 RB25DET

BNR34 RB26DETT

After checking online it looks like the ones I need are SF-DIS-008.

So, I emailed the guy to try and get a refund and he says they should work ok in my car and told me to try them.

I prefer not to pull my car apart for nothing and hope that someone on here can answer the question for me.

Will they work ?

Doesn't the R33 have a separate ignitor, and the R34 not ?

thanks in advance

Splitfire make a different model for a reason. They definitely are not all the same.

You are correct though you need the 008's. I would say you dont want to take second best and to send the correct model!

I think the difference between series 1 and 2 coils in R33s was that the series two has on ignitor seperate where as series one was built in

series 1.5 and 2 r33s have the ignitor in the coils, series 1 has a seperate ignitor.

I have just replaced the coil packs on my RB25De Neo I bought SF-DIS-008 from Access Autowork in Melbourne they were the cheepest & their delivery was fantastic as I am on the Central Coast of NSW [took 2 working days]. I found them on the classified section of this forum. They cost $615 + $15 postage, cheeper than out of Sydney. The SF-DIS-008's are also used in GTT's & Stagea's so dont worry if it says RB25DeT Neo they are the same

Correct about the igniters. I have one R33 coilpack in mine at the moment, temporary bandaid fix till I get splitfires (which are on the way). It's been temporarily mounted as well, think the bolts lined up differently or something, but they work.

s1.533, It's only coilpack number 3 that's been temporarily replaced, I think my tuner fitted it with a washer or something to hold it in, just for me to be able to keep driving. Been going a few weeks liek that now lol

How much does he want for the splitfires? If it's significantly cheaper you could probably give them a go At the end they're splitfires so they're going to be a good brand of coilpack. If it's only a saving of say $50 or less, then if it were me I'd just buy new ones.

performance-wise has some really good coils that suit the S1 RB25DE and I think they will have some more to suit the S2 RB25DE soon aswell.

Theres more info on them here http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Co...80&start=80

Ive had these in my S1 RB25DET for a couple of weeks now and they work a treat. Only cost me $350 posted, brand new and with 6 month warranty.
