Fixed!

So I bought a secondhand S2 R33 coilpack from Authentic Godzilla Performance and began the process of one-by-one swapping out my coilpacks.

Turns out coilpack #5 was the issue (of course it wouldn't be 1 or 2 - gah!) so now I've verified that it is actually my coilpacks, I just need to decide on which coilpacks to get to replace the whole lot.

So my options for R33 S2 coilpacks are:

  • Super Spark Coils - $500 delivered
  • Splitfires - $550 delivered
  • Just Jap Racing Coils - $420 delivered (out of stock, no ETA)

So, Splitfires seem to be the proven product out of the list, but they're also the most expensive. I haven't heard much about the Super Spark coils, I'd consider them but I can't find much in the way of reviews/info. JJR's are the cheapest and so far seem to have been a reliable choice, but they haven't been around long and I have no idea when they'll be back in stock again...

Anybody got any opinions on the matter?

You've fixed the problem, there is no rush, you can afford to wait and get JJR ones if you want - all much of a muchness. Some people use standard coils for big power numbers, so performance isn't an issue, a/m coil packs are newer, not faster.

I've got Splitfires, but got them before super spark and JJR came on the market/started advertising.

    • Thats the current state of the reo. Bit ew, but GTR Reo and supporting bars are $2000, and 2nd hand GTT ones are $1000... More engine disassembly. The good news is   Various LS weird sounds are apparently normal Everything coming out is in perfect condition The bad news is: Everything coming out is in perfect condition It looks like whoever assembled this engine ~25,000km ago was telling the truth with what's in it and how they did it. Even things I was unsure of like the timing chain - But it's a brand new double row timing chain, spaced perfectly. They even cut up the stock windage tray to keep it instead of being lazy and to work with the baffle. Cam, Heads, springs, LS7 lifters, Pushrods - All look new and have obviously been working perfectly. In other news, we removed the pineapples that were loaded below the superpro subframe bushes. They look a fair bit munted and have deformed the poly bushes that are 'above' them. I'm telling myself that now that there's space 'under' the bush between the little cup that bolts in... that having a pineapple wedged there was bad and basically made the rear end solid. The pineapple and the superpro bush are ... equally deformed (i.e they have deformed one another from being smashed together). We'll see how it goes with bushes only. I am sure this cope will fail and the answer will be to drop the subframe and put nismo rubber bushes in there instead. $400 worth of gaskets and ARP head bolts to replace perfectly new looking gaskets that absolutely weren't leaking  and were installed perfectly with great care - because god damnit.    
    • Why bother? Keep them under 1bar and be happy, I had it for 10 years and never had an issue. once you go beyond that the budget blows out fast and then keeps on blowing out 
    • I'd still recommend rebuilding the turbos too. That will eat up a lot of the budget especially if you aren't willing to put in the labor to R&R the turbos yourself but it's a huge risk to ignore it at this point.
    • Can't help it, its an illness. 
    • Yep, agree with all of the above added on too. I just love the age old "what boost were you running?" Question without getting any other surrounding data. IE, may have ran 20psi, and lived for 12 years, but it was an 80 year old granma driving it to Bingo once a week and never took it over 2500rpm.
