many thanks for your help in advance... not putting up a thread about it cos there is no point.

Also check your cooler pipes......

Irridium plugs are around the $120 mark!!

getting there sbout 45 mins on it tonight

alot of time is wasted looking @ tuts reading then trying then undo'ing when it fails re-reading redoing re-undoing you may notice i chopped up another picture and overlayed it in there and thats where the red on the rear shot has come from

Mark - also check the gap alot of plugs are sold @ 1.1mm and should be .7-.8 for high boost

at 1.1mm they may run ok but up the boost and run crap

no, 120 the set, Simon32 says just get copper there fine you just may need to replace them sooner

iridiums are meant to last longer thats why there dearer oh and there made of iridium i guess

i heard irridium dont last long? and 120 each... yowza!

thanks steve yeah ill gap them and check them out. got hks sparkplugs in the vl.. might just swap depending on condition

Reuben your Air box is that basically what the R33 one looks like ?

I believe so! I've got a HKS pod under it. Its only there to appear stock ... so is the rest of the work to the bay. Got to keep it looking stock as a bone :)

I'm also replacing my plugs and ensuring the gap is 0.8mm.

Mmmmm ... coilpacks :D

    • Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
    • Oh yeah, always always always turn over an engine by hand first.
    • So by that logic, an insanely expensive GTR for $200k+ is quite cheap, at 12% of Sydney's median house price compared to over 50% when a GTR was new...
    • Apologies... thought i had outlined it... Cheers for the response, I'll get a nipple sorted out for this.
    • lol thanks for the pics but some arrows might have helped for context. If you mean the bit I've badly traced in red, that is a PITA vacuum signal for the power steering pump, only R34 GTT was "lucky" enough to get it. Yes you will need a nipple of the same size somewhere in the intake between the air filter and the throttle or the power steering idle up will not work correctly
