Hi all. Looking to get replacement spark plugs for my ER34 (RB25DET) with minor bolt on mods.

Which will be a better plug to use?

NGK Iriway 7 or NGK Iriway 8?

hi..

whichever is colder.

bye.

So guess NGK Iriway 7 it is then. :)

Hi....again....

also, if you're using standard ignition parts (as opposed to a Splitfire system), ensure your gaps are small too! (.75-.85mm).

Bye...

U will only need to re-gap to 0.7 or 0.8 if ur running higher than std boost. R u running a aftermarket ECU or boost ctrl?

Also becareful when re-gapping Iridiums, the tips r thin n can snap. I personally just run the NGK std plugs gapped to 0.7, only advantage of a Iridium is it'll last longer.

cool...but he did mention 'bolt on mods'....so I'm guessing that involves a boost increase....necessitating the gap closure!!! ;)

The fact that you don't have to worry about replacing them so often as compared to coppers IS the only obvious/realistic reason why we/I use them....thanx for clarifying that.

What I am about to say is what I do, up to you whether you agree or not. Colder deos not mean better. Colder means it's less likely to experience detonation, but going too cold has problems.

On r33s, they use a 5 heat range plug. R34s may use a 6. Either 5 or 6 for a stockish car should not present any problems.

I'm running a aftermarket turbo on my rb25, and making a fair bit of power. I'm still using 6. 7 heatrange fouls in my car driving on the street. 6 doesn't detonate.

IMO, for my car, I would not use an 8. 7 possibly, if I was driving it hard every minute it's driven.

The heat range of a plug of a factor of one in a specified brand is not going to make much difference in a standard reality....nor in a standard configured car.

I will be more detailed and suggest that it will not detonate in a well tuned/serviced/stock engine, or even give you any performance increase/decrease, for normal to good performance type driving.

ok...to avoid the niggles....I will rephrase.....

"the colder of the 2 YOU HAVE SPECIFIED"

Also, if you are going to up the boost in future (God bless ya!!), gap the plugs now, to <>.8mm to avoid the dead spots when accelerating under higher boost!!

Much info to be found around here on this topic and why it happens!!

Your car will still perform well even when boosting standard PSI with the lower spark gaps!

Sorry guys...this ain't rocket surgery!!!...let's not confuse this guy into oblivion!!!....geesh!

anyways....and least you're using a reasonably good quality plug, that's within the heat range required for your car!...enjoy.

    • Did you get any down time over Christmas, or have you had any since to play with this? Or have you given up and are trying to get yourself a second hand V8SC instead?
    • A random thought I had just before I hit "Submit on this post". If brake fluid, in a container in my garage that has never been opened goes bad after 18 months, why can I leave it in my car for 24 months in an "unsealed container"... Secondly, some other digging, and brake fluid manufacturers seem to be saying 5 year shelf life... Me thinks there line on 18 months for an unsealed bottle is pretty much horse shit marketing spin. Kind of like how if you drive a car and don't run a turbo timer your turbo and motor will die horribly...   Where I started on this though... Someone (me) started down a bit of a rabbit hole, I don't quite have the proper equipment to do Equilibrium Reflux boiling per the proper test standards. I did a little digging on YouTube, and this was the first video I found on someone attempting to "just boil it". This video isn't overly scientific, as we don't have a known reference for his test either. Inaccuracy in his equipment could have him reaching the 460 to 470f boiling point range in reality. In the video, using a laser temp gun, he claims his Dot3 that's been open in his florida garage for over a year gets to about 420 to 430 fahrenheit (215 to 221c) Doing some googling, I located an MSDS for that specific oil, and from new, it claims a dry boiling point of 460 to 470f. Unfortunately they don't list a wet boiling point for us to see how far it degraded toward its "wet" point. While watching it I was thinking "I wonder what the flash point is..." turns out its only 480f for that specific brake fluid....   As for testing the oil's resistance, I might not be able to accurately do that unfortunately. Resistance level will be quite a LOT higher than my system can read I suspect based on some research. However, I might be able to do it by measuring the current when I apply a specific voltage. I won't have an actual water % value, but I'll have some values I can compare between the multitude of fluids. I'll run some vague calculations later and see if I should be able to read any reliable amount of current. These calcs will be based on some values I've found for other oils, and see how close I'll need my terminals together. From memory I can get down to 1pA accuracy on the DMM. I don't think my IOT Power Tester has any better resolution.    
    • No, with a twin plate clutch flywheels and clutch pressure plate/friction disks go together. Only clutch where that isn't the case is the Uniclutch but they currently don't make a pull version for the Getrag R34, just some other cars. Personally the flywheel is as light as I'd want it to be. It already drops revs faster than I want to shift normally and I blip the throttle again to rev match on upshifts.
    • Are there any other lighter flywheels that can be used with nismo coppermix twinplate system? Id like to gave the revs pick up faster than oem
    • RB20/25 covers don’t have threaded fasteners stock like RB26 covers. They are blind rivets so I will need to drill out and tap threads. I bought some M4x6mm button heads and will report back once done if I chose correctly length wise.    have also got some loctite
