Hi guys,

just about to get my car service and thinking about getting plugs changed as well

well, the problm is.. after reading alot on the plugs topics.. lots of people here are recommend thing like .8 gap with 5 heat rate ..

but, i'm getting IRIDIUM BCPR5EIX-11 for my car

what you guys reckon about these plugs? will they be ok on my car with mods like.. pod, fmic, 3'haust and so on

and will they make any back fire? (at the moment, I have no problem with it)

Cheers

Get some BCPR6ES plugs man

NGK copper - they come gapped to 0.8mm (you'd double check of course)

Never had a problem with them running up to 15psi, thats whats currently in my car and hopefully it should see in excess of 18psi next week without any issues!

I've heard there is no extra gains to be seen with the IRIDIUM plugs plus the element is supposed to be quiet brittle which causes them to break after a short period of time

Plus there is no way I'd pay that much for spark plugs!

I am running iridiums in my RB20 and was having no problems till I upped the boost to about 12-14 psi

It then started misfiring at high RPM.

Took em out and they were gapped to 1.1mm, so reduced the gap to 0.8mm and have had not a problem since. The car runs great now.

BC and BK is the thred type. they are both the same except the height from the gasket to the top terminal on the BK plug is 2.5mm shorter than on the BC plug. so if you use the BK plug you coils may not make a good contact wih the spark plug.

its all in this chart:

it wont let me upload my chart for some reason. i'll try again later.

anyway its sort of like this one, but the one i have has heaps more detail.

just use the BCPR6ES plugs, they are proven to be good. if you cant get them you can also use BCPR6ES-11 and regap to 0.8mm.

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
