What are my options?? - Coil packs

[nmcmahon83]

Hi All...

My coil packs seem to be getting worse, and I'm afraid I do not have the technical ability to silicon them up.

Splitfires seem to be the expensive option and I was just wondering if there is anything in between which will give me back my peak power...

Nengun seem to have the cheapest price for the Splitfires, but can someone give me the FINAL landed costs for these?

Cheers.

I got mine landed for just under $600 but they have gone up since then, however i did notice some brand new ones on ebay for $700

Yes they have gone up, I payed $710 plus postage of $60 (along with other parts) arrived one week later after payment.

I bought S2 coils for my S1 so I didnt have to use the igniter, coil loom had to be rewired.

Where did you get them from?

I have been quoted $850.00 trade price plus freight from lynx.

I reckon you could learn to mix two pack glue and apply for a lot less than the price of splitfires... Can you see them tracking in the dark? If not I would start by gapping your plugs. Even if your car has Jap heat range plugs will give drama's

We have on car with Splitfires one with OEM. For mine and anything less than a fire breather OEM.

Please please tell me was this a hard job? Please please tell me where I can get the opposite done in Sydney, I bought these damned Spitfire series 1 packs afer I found out my car is a series 1.5 (this means i need the series 2 coils), dont ask why I didnt research...Long story, Help!

If you need something cheap, I saw these today on ebay:

Don't waste your time and money with buying 2nd hand stock nissan coils or gluing them up.

I had/have buggered coils so I bought 2 other 2nd hand 1's ($30ea) and it felt ok for a month or so. Then I araldited them all up ($10 and took me a week to do it coz it takes a solid 24hrs for each coil to dry) and they were good again for a month. Now they are up shit creek again so I bit the bullet and ordered some Splitfires from Nengun (about 3wks ago).

Still waiting for them to arrive (damn xmas/new years holidays) but it has cost me $615 delivered and atleast I know that when I fit them they will all be working 100%.

Edit: Be wary of Ebay (I know I know everybody says that) however I nearly lost $700 on there a few months back when I won an auction and the guy didnt have the item and didnt want to post them to me. Took me a month of heartache to get my money back.

Targa Tom is spot on.

Pull the black cover off, turn the lights off in your garage, the eyecrometer will tell you everything you need to know. I had the dreaded coil pack issues, turned out to be moisture. Spray them liberally with silicon spray every time you do the plugs. Leave the cover off to prevent them overheating. No troubles in the last 18 months.

Standard coils are good for big HP. Only a firebreather needs aftermarket coils.
