Funny way to subject a thread i know, but i just headed out to paulies (gtst vspec ) place this morning to look at why the car was missing/popping thinking it was a AFM to change over when we decided to check the plugs first.

now ive had this car down to many places over the past 14months to tray and sort out this problem and everyone had a go at the plugs.

what we discovered was that (even though they all said they had gaped them to 0.8mm) 3-4 of the plugs were not even gapped ie. they were still at 1.1mm!!!

and the last place i took the car to so it could get sorted out even said they had put platnums throughout... but they were all NGK Iridiums :D yeah, go figure that?

Regaped the plugs and went for a drive... all fixed and fast (well i thought so, pauls a hard man to please when he has 368hp and i only have 260hp).

Problem solvered!

SO IN CONCLUSION!

Always!!! check your plugs and trust no-one!

14months of grief solved by two tally-wakers and a socket-set.

JUN, ENDLESS, and NISMO watch out!

good

i never said i wanted to be, if we end up going that way u need a person who's good at getting to know ppl and gets along easy with most ppl.

i'm not that person.

in other words, these places that "tuned" your car really just ripped you off... go figure.

Id be interested to know which companies are charging for platinum plugs but installing iridiums.

and if I were you I'd be making some phone calls about that!
