If you can run the 1.1mm gap without it missing then do it. The bigger gap the better. People only reduce the gap when they are running large boost or have old, weak coils that can't provide a strong enough spark

That's true, only reduce gap if you have to.

NGK BKR6EYA. = 0.8mm

I was running these on 10psi with stock ECU. No Problems.

Installed an SAFC 2 and my Tuner gapped them down to 0.7mm due to old Stock Coils. No Problems.

NGK BKR6EYA-11 = 1.1mm

I will go back up to 1.1mm soon as I just bought some Brand New Stock Coils.

This will be interesting...

That's what I thought.. I will try the 1.1mm gap an see how I go. It only has 140k on the engine so coils might be fine.

Is 1.1mm and 0.8mm the only 2 gaps I can run or should I try lower the gap in 0.1mm increments like as in if 1.1mm doesn't work maybe try 1mm then 0.9 then 0.8 or is that pointless? I'm new to the whole boost scene so excuse my lack of knowledge haha appreciate everyone's help :)

If they are the original coils at 140kms then they will probably be getting a bit weak.

And yes, you can just drop the gap by 0.1mm increments until it doesn't miss

If you want cheap BCPR6ES, get them off eBay

Just buy more than 12 at a time and it works out pretty sweet, $2.90 each delivered

I just ordered 24 lol, works out to be $2.81 each.. :)

Well the 1.1mm gap works fine. Revs sooo much smoother now. Coils must be good :D Old plugs had a little miss before it revved. Doesnt miss at all during idle or rev. Have no driven it yet to test them under load but all seems fine. Thanks everyone for your help

I've checked alot of places and I can't seem to find BCPR6ES spark plugs with 0.8mm gap I can only find 1.1mm and super cheap say (after rego checko) they are not a right fit for the rb25. After alot of searching and doing my head in I found BCPR6ES with a 0.9mm gap from justjap so that's what I went with... ?‍♂️ Stock rb25

Hmmm. You just set the gap to whatever you want with a very cheap tool.

I use those plugs with 1.1 gap and have zero issues. Drop gap if your coils are shit, otherwise leave at 1.1

So why so hard finding info ? Gapping copper/nickel and platinum plugs is trivial. Iridiums are the only ones you've really got to be careful with. In NGK if it has no - prefix at the end it is like this-

# heat range.

Copper/nickel plugs, the bcpr#es is pregapped to 0.9mm / 36 thou, there is no 0.8mm gap in bcpr#es coppers.

Platinum plugs BCPR#EP and Iridium plugs BCPR#EIX, are pregapped to 0.8mm / 32 thou.

A -11 at the end indicates an 1.1mm / 44 thou gap as an option, available in all of these plugs.

Also 5 is stock NGK heat range for RB25, 6 for RB26.

Probably why Repco / Supercrap say it's the wrong plug too.

    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
