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?

http://www.ebay.com....1#ht_693wt_1271

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.

    • Agreed it actively wants to kill you which I love driving fast cars slow is my stick
    • Awesome! I was thinking S14 since they are longer. I'll give those a shot. Thanks for the input!
    • Far out, that thing looks like some loose fun!  Nothing beats the rawness of a filthy old Nissan with zero aids to keep the wheels pointing in the right direction like modern "fast" cars!    
    • If there is no ridge at the inner edge of the battery tray (ie the battery tray is flat until it rolls off the edge into the open space of the bay), then no, it won't matter if it overhangs. If the battery would be propped up by any ridge, then that wouldn't be ideal. The bottom of the battery case would not be sharing the load. It would be concentrated on one end edge and a line across the bottom where it contacts the ridge. And possibly it wouldn't fit under the locking clamp either. I only upsized my battery to the max because: I sometime have to leave my car undriven for weeks at a time while I am away for work. On the previous battery (replaced a couple of months ago) I had to leave it undriven for months at a time!! I sometimes abuse the battery by running the stereo up loud for many hours while I wash and polish it. This is how I realised that the previous battery was on its last legs, because it got to the point where it was too weak to start after a couple of such. It was 7 years old though, so, fair play. Supercheap had a good special so the X was only ~$250 instead of ~$320, which seemed sufficiently less painful. I had already been using NS70 for the previous 2 batteries for most of the same reasons as above. The X is just the final boss level. I was contemplating going LiFePO4. But it's like $900 to do that properly, and while you save >10 kg of weight, you can likely only expect a couple of years longer life. So meh. Maybe when the price comes down further. Although, in ~7 years when I have to replace this one, I might not be allowed to drive such an anti-social vehicle anyway.  
    • If I get a larger battery and it hangs off the edge of the frame rail, would this be an issue? With FMIC a lot of people downgrade their battery size due to less room for shit, was wondering if it would affect anything but it would still be tight via the clamp.
