Hey all, can anybody tell me a company that can provide me with new coils for my 1998 N/A r34, its one of the twin cam 2.5 liter ones...ive got the typical primary ignition fault 21 code and at least one of the factory coils are on their way out, would really like upgraded ones instead of the factory replacements...thanks!

Splitfire, Superspark or JustJap JJR.

I would highly recommend the Splitfires.

I haven't had experience with Superspark or JJR coilpacks, however, my tuner advised against them and to put my dollars into splitfires. Worth noting also that my tuner wasn't selling me the coilpacks either.

Check out the sponsors for pricing. The Japanese Yen isn't in our favour like it once was so expect to pay over $600 for a set.

I think I recall seeing a new coilpack on the market too, it's a yellow colour... once again I have no idea about these ones either.

I have half a set of OEM ~110,000km Coilpacks... 3 of them died in one night like dominoes mainly cause of the GReddy eDamage before I done the zener diode fix lol I just keep them as spares now.

The Splitfires are much stronger and are the most recommended coilpack for Skylines. R34's are known for coilpack failure once they reach a certain age, and are known to keep dying one by one after that. So do yourself a favour, do it once do it right, go the splitfires :D

If you really get stuck, R33 Series 2 coilpacks will work but the bolt holes don't line up, but if you can easily get hold of one they can be "made to fit" for a temporary fix till you can get hold of new ones... just ask my tuner :( Drove around like that for a while after the first coilpack fried, then thought meh I'll wait it out, and then lost the 3 in one night, car struggled to get onto the tilt-tray! Probably a god thing that I fixed the eDamage before getting splitfires though

Yeah sweet, thanks for the advice, looks like my exhaust upgrade will have wait a bit longer now! might as well replace all 6 and be done with it

depends where you buy from then nate.

eg: superspark doesn't provide it?

i know jjr direct ignition comes with 12 month warranty (which you cant beat for $399 + postage [on ebay for $399 with free delivery on special])

some local dealers of splitfire provide warranty also.

      Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.

      Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.

      Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
