everyone happy with your Split Fire Di ??? - GT-R Register - Official Nissan Skyline and GTR Owners Club forum

GLOBAL AUTO JP · 16th September 2008, 03:28 PM

I always see many owners use these on their GT-R but don't hear their problems often like I have.

For about 2-3years, most of GT-R that comes with Split Fire Di have or starts to have ignition problem with them.

From my experience they are never friendly with F-Con V-Pro and always cause problems when mapping.
Having problem with all GT-R: R32, R33, R34 but I think R34 is worst.

All recent ignition problems with GT-R were all by them so that's first thing we check now days.

I guess they are good stuff when new but I feel STD ones are a lot better and reliable.

Personally never had any problems with Split Fires even if the car is running HKS Fcon, I think the standard coil packs are good enough for the job that’s why not a lot of people change them

tweenierob · 16th September 2008, 08:00 PM

IT all depends on what settings are in the Fcon Pro, they are good cheap replacements for worn std ones.

No problems at all.. been using the same set on 2 different GTRs now.

GLOBAL AUTO JP · 17th September 2008, 01:01 AM

Wow! some interesting replies.
What I know for sure is some top tweeeek V-Pro tuners in Japan, never map any car with them.

jaycabs · 17th September 2008, 01:32 AM

never caused a problem on mine as well . run spot on with them

skylion · 17th September 2008, 07:50 AM

TweenieRob recommended I put them on my car, and was piece of piss to fit and so far no problems.

driftboy · 17th September 2008, 08:10 AM

Run them on mine (Motec) & several friends GTR's & GTS's with out any issues at all, all cars running different managment (Motec, F-Con IS, F-Con V-Pro, Power FC & Mines) & several between 600-900Hp...

I would have thought if there were serious issues with them that there would have been a few threads/polls on the forum about them already, sure you know what were like on here...Everyone loves a good moan...LOL...

tarmac terror · 17th September 2008, 10:10 AM

Had mine on for ages now with PFC and no probs so far...

Had mine in for nearly 4 years now and the car has never missed a beat.

GLOBAL AUTO JP · 24th September 2008, 01:40 AM

there must be some radio active or something that causes to damage them just in our yard.

ru' · 24th September 2008, 04:12 AM

Which ones do you use instead?

I use mine with a Power FC. I think they're fine, but since they were replacing old stock coilpacks, new OEM coilpacks would have yielded a positive difference as well.

Nonetheless, I've never had a misfire problem since using them. I finished off my "ultimate" ignition system with an HKS DLI ignition amp, and NGK surface-gap racing plugs.

I am very disappointed to splitfire di. I got poor spark when going to over 1,35bar of boost. I have NKG iridium sparkplugs with 0.65 tip. (667hp & apexi pfc)
