I don't recommend any of them. Make them yourself. Glue some popsticks together then go steal some wiring from your nearest building site. Wind the wire around the popsticks until your arms get sore then connect each end to the terminals on your battery. Stick the popstick into the spark plug holes. Repeat 5 times.

If you don't like the idea of stealing from a building site get some Splitfires.

Hi The coils are starting to fail on my standard R34 GTT,which one are recommended and which ones are to be avoided.

Cheers

There is an alternative - some people have managed to source OEM coilpacks at not much more than Splitfires and the Nissan ones have a track record of being good for at least 10 years - some are still going strong after 15 years.

I got Splitfires from Nengun, and I can say I dont regret getting them one bit. Car runs mint as. My Opinion is Splifires for the win. I have mates which have gone for cheaper options that are available, but I didnt want to take the risk as some of my mates have had good experiences and some of them have had bad experiences with the cheaper options.

      Need AC Compressor for R32

      By silviaz · Posted

      Is rebuilding it even a thing? Where would the shop find parts for it? I looked at some off these local online stores for my r34 and suprisingly they had brand new aftetmarket ones for $600-800 I think. I guess r32 might be a bit tougher.

      Does 98ron contain ethanol?

      I remember the days when E85 was priced in according to the $ per km outcome. Sure E85 was about 35% cheaper, but you also lost about 35% range... now it's fked..

      A little PU bush story

      They do. The pale yellow translucent ones from Japan were .... I dunno. Useless? Whiteline and SuperPro are probably fairly similar. There's bound to be a range of different hardnesses amongst the dozens of options on the market. The simple fact is that the pineapples don't get up inside the bush at all. They just sort of exist in the space between the washer/bracket and the subframe's bush outer tube, and...exert a bit of force between them? Or something like that. I'm sure that with enough provocation, they will simply allow one to move wrt the other.

      I'm not sure they came in different hardnesses? Going from memory only - I had set them up in the balanced setup. I also have poly bushes, so I have both poly bushes and pineapples. This is what my memory tells me at least. I'll have to take a look under there to be sure. The tramp was so bad that I managed to eject/kill a diff bushing, so those I know are stock. The tramp is bad enough that you are 200% sure you are doing severe damage to the car. It's not just chirping or vibration, it feels like you're hitting a speed hump/kerb 10 times a second. The issue has persisted between subframes! (I went from Hicas to non hicas subframe and replaced every bush a few years ago now) so I'm entirely lost. Every arm is factory.

      Can recommend the Frenchys kit, been using it 2 years now with no issue, very happy with it.  Only thing for me was upgrading the thermo fan but I am super fussy on cooling.   Also interested in electric AC, partly for boot mount to have a clean bay and partly would love the idea of cooling off the car before i get in. The battery setup to do that might be tricky / expensive though.  Found this an interesting watch.
