Changing Spark Plugs. How Hard Is It?

[kgangulw]

Hi,

have a R33 GTST. I want to change the spark plugs on mine, and wondering how involved it is. I have changed plugs on my previous cars, so I know a little bit on cars for that matter. But on skylines it seems a bit more restrictive to access.

Does it require the air intake pipe being removed? if so it looks like a big job, which a mechanic can do. anyway i'd like to know your views. don't want to get my hands dirty if it's too complex as i don't want to ruin the car . Thanks a lot.

If thats too hard for you then I suggest you get someone (mechanic or whoever else can) to do it for ya.

mate, you'll manage... I did it myself and if I can do it, you can do it!

one thing I do recommend though is taking a picture before you start so you have a reference of how it all goes back together!!!

Whilst you have them out, just check their condition, checking for any abnormalities..ie cracks.

and don't drop them ay.
