I still can't wrap my head around brand new OEM coils for $250.. when they're like $100+ for each coil from most traders

100% genuine, genuine part numbers and packaging. From the states, same story as bob.

I couldnt believe the price also, hes a good person to deal with, very helpful and check his feedback

I'm a tad hesistant on buying them, but you guys are saying they work

Well so was i for the price, but he says they come from a dealer in the states closed down or something like that.

For me the thing that done it was, his communication and have a look at his feedback, nearly 1000 @ 100% positive, nothing wrong with that!

Bob, so did you buy it from the same link too?

I'm really tempted to buy them now to replace my homo mismatched Yellow Jackets

Just checked - and no was another Aussie ebayer and i paid $400 and he is not selling now so maybe he was a reseller - was over a year ago and they are still working fine!

They were over $1000 a set from Nissan!

I bought an ebay set and they look genuine and seem to work ok. I heard they came from a bankrupted Nissan dealer in the US though why they would have huge stocks of them I don't know. I hope they are not fake but are working so far at 20psi and 280kw. See what happens with a bit more power.

On another note a Stagea owner says his Yellowjackets broke down after 18 months!

Yay revive old post because I used the search function :P 

im considering the Fuji spark coils because I can actually afford them. But I have no clue what they're like and can only find old reviews from like 5 years ago. 

Or should I get yellow jacket?

its kinda pushing it for yellow jackets and then split fires which I'd love are just out of the picture currently

not sure if I should risk it or not

I suggest you research wisely on what I have highlighted.

yeah search function will reveal most opinions on said highlighted product
i see more and more people selling used splitfirfes on fb pages, i would trust them over the cheaper options.

Right... what exactly do you mean by that? Or is there anything in particular you are referring to?

I took a look on Facebook and couldn't find any posts unfortunately

I have yellowjackets and they work fine [emoji14]
But my engine is standard, standard boost.
If you're going to push it, Splitfire or new OEM.


I've just got a standard 25RS Four Stagea, RB25DE NEO. So it's not exactly a high performing car haha.

I won't need expensive coils I take it

Try using Google for searching. Facebook isn't the place for info on this type of thing. I'll spell it out for you. Spitfire and oem is the way to go for standard style coilpacks. All the other brightly coloured ones have sketchy reputations. These days people convert to ls1/2 coils and Toyota yaris, Audi r8 amongst others. Just remember you get what you pay for. If you need more info than that, GOOGLE[emoji6]

Yellow jacket are probably only about $100 cheaper. When I used google the first 10 results were all SAU. I'll do some research on LS coils

Cheers.
Ls coils are not direct fit. Oem or split fire is my recommendation. Whichever you can get cheaper or easier.

Figured that, not too sure whether I should just replace the shot one or go and buy a whole set. As I don't know if I want to replace one then have another one go down the road lol

I'm leaning towards splitfire but don't really have the money for a full set
I'd suggest selling the car cause you obviously can't afford the repair bills on it


Okay so I probably worded it wrong, I don't have money set aside for coils. Doesn't mean I don't have the money for them, I do, lol.

If that's the case and money is scarce, gap the plugs down to 0.6mm and see if that fixes it for now and keep a look out on eBay Gumtree forums for some used coils to mix and match to make a full set. I bought an oem set off ebay a year ago for $10 as spares, they also came with a loom. I tested them just to see if they where any good and they where. Good luck.

    • Nah. For something like boost control I wouldn't start my design with PID. I'd go with something that originates in the fuzzy logic world and use an emergency function or similar concept. PID can and does work, but at its fundamental level it is not suited to quick action. I'd be reasonably sure that the Profecs et al all transitioned to a fuzzy algorithm back in the 90s. Keep in mind also that where and when I have previously talked about using a Profec, I'm usually talking about only doing an open loop system anyway. All this talk of PID and other algorithms only comes into play when you're talking closed loop boost control, and in the context of what the OP needs and wants, we're probably actually in the realm of open loop anyway. Closed loop boost control has always bothered me, because if you sense the process value (ie the boost measurement that you want to control) in the plenum (after the throttle), then boost control to achieve a target is only desirable at WOT. When you are not WOT, you do not want the the boost to be as high as it can be (ie 100% of target). That's why you do not have the throttle at WO. You're attempting to not go as fast as you can. If the process variable is measured upstream of the throttle (ie in an RB26 plenum, or the cold side pipework in others) then yeah, sure, run the boost controller closed loop to hit a target boost there, and then the throttle does what it is supposed to do. Just for utter clarity.... an old Profec B Spec II (or whatever it is called, and I've got one, and I never look at it, so I can't remember!) and similar might have a MAP sensor, and it might show you the actual boost in the plenum (when the MAP sensor is connected to the plenum) but it does not use that value to decide what it is doing to control the boost, except to control the gating effect (where it stops holding the gate closed on the boost ramp). It's not closed loop at all. Once the gate is released, it's just the solenoid flailing away at whatever duty cycle was configured when it was set up. I'm sure that there are many people who do not understand the above points and wonder wtf is going on.  
    • This has clearly gone off on quite a tangent but the suggestion was "go standalone because you probably aren't going to stop at just exhaust + a mild tune and manual boost controller", not "buy a standalone purely for a boost controller". If the scope does in fact stop creeping at an EBC then sure, buy an EVC7 or Profec or whatever else people like to run and stop there. And I have yet to see any kind of aftermarket boost control that is more complicated than a PID controller with some accounting for edge cases. Control system theory is an incredibly vast field yet somehow we always end up back at some variant of a PID controller, maybe with some work done to linearize things. I have done quite a lot, but I don't care to indulge in those pissing matches, hence posting primary sources. I deal with people quite frequently that scream and shout about how their opinion matters more because they've shipped more x or y, it doesn't change the reality of the data they're trying to disagree with. Arguing that the source material is wrong is an entirely separate point and while my experience obviously doesn't matter here I've rarely seen factory service manuals be incorrect about something. It's not some random poorly documented internal software tool that is constantly being patched to barely work. It's also not that hard to just read the Japanese and double check translations either. Especially in automotive parts most of it is loanwords anyways.
    • If you are keeping the current calipers you need to keep the current disc as the spacing of the caliper determines the disc diameter. Have you trial fitted the GTS brakes fit on a GTSt hub or is this forward planning? There could be differences in caliper mount spacing, backing plate and even hub shape that could cause an issue.
    • Hi there I have a r33 gts with 4 stud small brakes, I'm going to convert to 5 stud but keep the small brakes, what size rotor would I need?
    • First up, I wouldn't use PID straight up for boost control. There's also other control techniques that can be implemented. And as I said, and you keep missing the point. It's not the ONE thing, it's the wrapping it up together with everything else in the one system that starts to unravel the problem. It's why there are people who can work in a certain field as a generalist, IE a IT person, and then there are specialists. IE, an SQL database specialist. Sure the IT person can build and run a database, and it'll work, however theyll likely never be as good as a specialist.   So, as said, it's not as simple as you're thinking. And yes, there's a limit to the number of everything's in MCUs, and they run out far to freaking fast when you're designing a complex system, which means you have to make compromises. Add to that, you'll have a limited team working on it, so fixing / tweaking some features means some features are a higher priority than others. Add to that, someone might fix a problem around a certain unrelated feature, and that change due to other complexities in the system design, can now cause a new, unforseen bug in something else.   The whole thing is, as said, sometimes split systems can work as good, and if not better. Plus when there's no need to spend $4k on an all in one solution, to meet the needs of a $200 system, maybe don't just spout off things others have said / you've read. There's a lot of misinformation on the internet, including in translated service manuals, and data sheets. Going and doing, so that you know, is better than stating something you read. Stating something that has been read, is about as useful as an engineering graduate, as all they know is what they've read. And trust me, nearly every engineering graduate is useless in the real world. And add to that, if you don't know this stuff, and just have an opinion, maybe accept what people with experience are telling you as information, and don't keep reciting the exact same thing over and over in response.
