yes take them back and get 7s. in fact, personally I'd take them back and get some copper NGK 7s. BCPER7ES from memory. cost about $18 for a set of 6 instead of $18 each. you should be checking and replacing fairly regularly anyway and doing that with iridiums or platinums gets pretty pricey at $120 a change.

Excellent thats just what i did 3 bucks each in stead of 18 and you can change them every oil change or not and i get the same fuel economy from the cheaper ones two

Are you saying the copper ones ARE BETTER or are you saying the copper ones are just cheaper and will OUTPERFORM iridium IXs. a set of 6 will cost u around 90 bucks that isnt much and it makes a GREAT spark. Iridium outperforms Copper. FACT.

I think what they're saying is that you'll change copper every oil change which would be what? <5k? as apposed to changing every second oil change with iridium <10k?? I was reading on the net about the iridums and they give a whole 2kw difference in performance apparently (dyno proven)... but again if anyone can help me with part #'s for copper for a rb25det that'll be great. So in effect you can buy 5 sets of copper for 1 set of iridium... even if you change em every 2-3k your still in front i guess... anyone would like to shed some light on this?

the platniums should restand heat and abuse more than the coppers.. less prone to heads being blown off. but they still lose efficency within 10k.. so may aswell replace them. using the coppers ull save money and change them at the same intervals...

whats the exact part number for the RB25DET Neo for 0.8mm coppers.?

i got $8 each platnium DENSOs for the R. bit better than coppers for $3

Please read the sticky FI Guide.

There is a link to a very very long thread about spark plugs, types, ranges, whats good/whats not etc etc :wave:

Someone took the time to type it up, do them the justice and have a read of it :huh:

BCPR7ES is what you want. they come gapped to .8mm. the ones that end in -11 come gapped to 1.1mm... just a note, no matter what you buy always check all the gaps before installing them.

so is the 7 the heat range and what the S stand for?

bcpr7eS

is ther a way to read plugs like tyres. eg235/45/17 66V whatever it is?

B-thread diameter hexagon

P-construction (ex. p-projected insulator nose. m-compact type)

2-11-heat range

E-thread reach

S- firing end construction (eg. s-copper core centre electrode(super))

-

9-20-Wide gap (eg. 9-0.9mm-20-2.0mm)

hope this helps

this was just jap who sold them to me. and i asked if they were the right heat range, and he said yes and sold them to me.

then when i showed my mate he said i should take them back.

well from memory he's right. they are the heat range specified in the workshop manual. so it's not really his fault for selling them to you. but what I know that he doesn't is that you are running aftermarket turbos, and lots of boost, and planning track use so with that in mind 1 heat range cooler is advisable. so in short, swap them for some 7s.

    • Yea my thought was tighter engine when hot is more load a poor ground connection can't take. On that note, I had time to check my driveshaft verical alignment tonight, it's +2 and -2 at either end, so thats perfect and how I had set it up last year. What would be the easiest way to check horizontal alignment between my diff and transmission? I can think of a few ways but they're all complicated and I feel like I'm overthinking it. I'm hoping it's that as I can't see any other reason why I have developed driveline vibration since I put the motor back in. 
    • Thank god. I thought I was the only one, nobody seems to mention this (cause nobody really goes this far in Sedan land). The car's track is 10mm wider at the rear, which explains why the rears sit a little further out for the same size wheels. There's not really many options in widebody land for sedans anyway - People will just use whatever came out of the box and then buy wheels/spacers to suit. To get it perfect you'll likely need custom wheels with custom offsets if you really want to get it perfect which is what I plan to do, but I also plan to utilize more of the inboard space for tyres at the rear... which is also something nobody ever seems to do.... OR my maths have failed me after 20,000 attempts and I'm about to make huge mistakes. 
    • What colour is that?  A mate of mine went red/black on his SLR5000 tribute recently also.  And yes, also glad to see this still progressing albeit slowly. 
    • found a company that makes a flat gauge face 3-d printed mounting base kit to eliminate the dished style gauges. if anyone else is looking to do the same https://www.dashfreaks.de/shop/flat-dials-holder-nissan-skyline-r34-gt-gtt/    
    • I installed my link ecu shortly after. But car ran fine with stock ecu and r35 coils, just had the traction control and slip lights on.
