Coil Packs

[dont_ask]

My coils packs are on the way out and looking to buy some. Just wondering what people think, should i get spit fires or original OEM coil packs.

Also has anyone used a brand called yellow jackets. I believe they sell the cheapest aftermarket coil packs at the moment i think.

Please give me your opinion on these coil packs if you have used them.

Or'

Any other brand coil packs and where to get them cheap. I dont use the car on the race track i drive it as a daily so only a hammer here and there.

Also I am still a student so i am i trying to budget my part time job with maintenance on the car its, hard.

Don't mean to be rude to anyone just don't give me the comment PLEASE

"A cheap show off with nice car"

Had someone say that to me in my face before and I punch him out.

So sorry if i am being rude or offend anyone.

got splitfires here and never looked back, plug in and away you go

ive got the yellow jackets. been in my car for quite a few months now. no problem at all. running 13-14 psi with a 1mm gap. they worked fine on the 1.1mm gap before my last plug change too.

a lot of people are using these, and i've only heard good feedback on them.

Got my splitfires from Nengun today. $478 delivered to my door a pretty good price considering ones over here are over $550. Havent heard anything bad from them too!

[HEKT1K]

Yep, i bought Splitfires when the exchange rate was favourable too. Haven't looked back

+1 for splitfires

Yellow jackets are probably good but really depends

havent been out long enough to know they last, but then again they havent been out long enough to prove they arent better then others

you can get proven results with splitfires, or get the yellow jackets and be unsure how long they will last.

Also got splitfires not too long ago, no dramas at all. If your after some cheap replacements ive still got my stock set, nothing wrong with them. I changed them thinking mine were stuffed but it was my ECU.

I bought a fresh set of Yellow Jackets about a month ago for my RB25DET Neo and they're going great. Very quick delivery too. For long term performance ask me again in a year's time

I reckon a new set of pretty much any coils should be fine. Whatever you do don't buy any second hand OEMs, the only place they should go in is the bin...

i've had 4 neo ones fail.

A che... lol j/k!

Uhm, i've only heard good things about the yellow jackets and with split fires...well i think everyone knows they're one of the best.

I myself am running the JJR ones but i do know a few people on this 'ere forum have had issues with JJR ones before but justjap have pretty good customer service and will look after you. I only got jjr ones because i got them REALLY cheap. For me, they are performing great - certainly much better than the old set which was a nice set of FETs but getting really old and breaking down.

I had nothing but trouble with various series 2 coilpacks and blowout so I upgraded to LS2 coilpacks. Much better ignition for about the same price.

stock coil packs are the best you can get, as long as you can get them new

the only reason they are mainly no good is because they are to old and have worn out due to heat in the engine bay

absoloutly nothing wrong with good condition stock coils. But there expensive as hell to buy brand new

[joeyjoejoejuniorshabadoo]

buy new OEM coils from the USA - apparently cheaper than splitfires now

or splitfires....

the 2 major proven brands

fwiw i've been running ~300rwkw for 3 years now on splitfires

[dont_ask]

Thanks for the opinion guys i believe i should just hold off till my next pay check for spit fires. Sounds like that is the way to go!

[Piggaz]

Stock if you can get them cheap.... IE NOT from Nissan AUS

Yeah the whole coil pack setup is definitely a weak link of the RB design. In the past 6 months I've been tearing out coil packs (and my hair) from my NEO like there's no tomorrow. In 4+ years with the LS1 I never even knew it had coil packs

R34 gtt coils started playing up. Replaced with new yellow jacks. Very happy =)

[SimonR32]

Been using a set of Yellow Jackets on both my RB20 set up and RB25 set up for about a year now...

They have been good at 2bar and 300rwkw with a 0.7mm gap on the RB20

They started to break down at 0.8mm with 1.6bar running in the RB25, now gapped at 0.6mm and are fine for 385rwkw

Apparently the Nissan ones are very cheap shipped from the USA but if you can't find them Yellow Jackets so far so good
