Hmm, neither JJR or Yellow Jacket make coils to suit NEO engines yet. So that means that the only coilpack options available to series 2 owners are OEM Nissan coilpacks (not REALLLY an option, in my case at least, at $1000+) or Splitfires.

...or chop up your $200 coilpack harness and wire in different coils...

can someone suggest any other solutions for S2 owners?

just shell out for the splitfires, they aren't really that expensive for a proven good product when you consider it (half the cost of new OEM). your only other option is to run a butchered setup like you said, either in the form of a wasted spark 3/2 coils setup (falcon/commodore) or 6 single coils in a sequential setup which could end up costing the same as getting the splitfires.

Pepople have gone off the wasted spark option over here for various reasons. The other option is to isolate the dud coil or coils and get some second hand stockers. People often replace the lot when some are fine. Someone on this forum had a set of S2 coils a while back (can't remember who, sorry). I guess i'm lucky - still on original coils at 225awkw at 16 psi and up to 7200rev/min.

    • Based off what you’ve said here, I think I’ve figured out a good bit of what I’ve done wrong -  So on the line going from the PCV valve to carbon canister, there’s a T joint that is pretty much right next to that lower port - I hadn’t noticed that the hose in the diagram was curved to attach onto the carb, so I was putting that line for the lower port onto the PCV line / carbon canister line instead. I’m going to have a flick through the manual again tomorrow and should hopefully find a diagram that’ll show me where that T joint should be connected to. Timing also 100% needs to be sorted out as well, should be able to tackle that tomorrow as well. Definitely feel like I should be on the right track now though. 
    • The screw is for idle (pilot circuit) mixture adjustment. Else, I'm confused ~ the diagram shows 2 carby ports, and the intake manifold port, but you're suggesting the "2nd port on the back of the carb that isn’t mentioned in the diagrams" ...yet, both carby ports are shown...que?... ...in any event, that port should be connected, but if not (like it is now), it's unlikely to cause a backfire out the carby (it would introduce false air and give you a fast/lean idle) ...sounds more like timing issues/spark plug wire routing responsible for the backfiring.    
    • That's fair, I can see both points. I get enthusiastic when I see the FS section has a new post and want to see what interesting thing someone is selling. Then I get deflated it's a bump of a 10 year old post. Ha ha
