Splitfires or possibly Yellowjackets but none of the rest has a track record.

Or look at getting some of these (my next coils):

or with the price of freight fom the US these days may be cheaper to buy them from NZ

or direct from their website:

my yellow jackets started breaking down pretty badly after 18 months.

decided to spend the extra and have some okada projects plasma direct coils now, so far so good

Did you get them from the US or Japan (I believe they are made in the US)?

Do they plug straight in or do you have to use leads?

And what was the cost for 6?

Okada projects will be at least $1600. I was looking at them till i seen the price. Now im looking at MSD LS2 coils.

Have you had a look at these Ray? I will be getting some next year:

or available from NZ (maybe cheaper freight than from US these days) c/w mounting bracket (still need to make loom and get leads):

payed around $1000 for the 6 so quite a bit more expensive than most of the other alternatives,

yes they plug straight in

i beleive they came out of japan, i got them from here http://www.hioctanedirect.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=25&zenid=kg6vv9nv4it167qe4h7cnsoce7

Prob wouldnt work out cheaper after the freight. Besides LS2 coils are more readily available.

also had the same dilemma. just bit the bullet and went splitfires.

difference is amazing , but i guess any coils would show that vast difference compared to the 15 year old coilpacks.

in anycase , yellow jackets have been shown to fail some of the time as well , much less then splitfires do.

i would suggest splitfires, dont touch the $250 cheap coils....

      I am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp

      Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆

      A little PU bush story

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
