put them in the bin. there to hot..

get bkr6e or bcpr6es. there alreaddy 0.8mm

the price of a feelerguage will be half as much as a new set of plugs. im sure you could exchange them.

cheers.

Before you direct people to do stupid things, you should get your information correct.

The factory heat range is 5, has he mentioned anything to indicate needing a colder plug?

I'm sure Nissan don't spend millions on research and development for nothing.

imho a 5 heat range is a bit toasty for a turbo engine, and with a modded motor its good to step it up to 6's, which are quite sufficent for a while before you start making serious power.

after that its advised to step to 7's but for a lightly modded motor 6's seem to do the trick.

get bkr6e or bcpr6es. there alreaddy 0.8mm

to regap a plug you just simply put the feeler gauge in the gap, then tap the plug against a hard table or something to bend the electrode in.

If you need to go the other way, open it with the feeler gauge and then tap back into desired size.

I use BCPR7ES's gapped at 8. About $20 for 6. Replace em with oil
