don't even think about hanshin's!!!...they've been used to replace the mitsubishi one's (mostly on '99) and they doesn't work that good...they always fail quicker than the mitsubishi ones..

I have seen alot of maximas and I30 with over 100,000 some even way more and still have the orginal hanshin coil packs and work fine. I would just get whatever is cheapest, they have some really nice splitfire ones that are a ***** to find. They are supposed to be the best ones avaiable, but they are really hard to track down.

I dont know if you 4th gen guys have come across this yet, but you probably do not have to replace all six coils at once.

I have put together a test that should tell you which coils are the bad ones.

Take a look, I only had to replace 2 and have not looked back since.

i got a code saying to replace 1 coil, I changed it and on the way home i got another code to replace 2 more. I am just going to get 5 more (i only have about 100 miles on the new coil pack)

I was told dealers dont carry Mitsubishi coilpacks, you can get them only if they are left over? Anyone know if thats true?

Thanks for the help everyone
