Changing Sparkplugs? Help!

[Hidden.]

So today I decided I'd service my car, and having never changed the spark plugs, I thought I'd be able to figure it out no problem, then I realised... I had another thing coming...

I drive a 33 GTST and... Are the Spark Plugs under the freaking casing for the cylinders? Like... Do I have to remove that top part in order to get to them, or did I miss something?

you have to remove the coil pack cover. the black bit with the nissan 2500. there is 8 allen key bolts holding it on. removing the crossover pipe makes it alot easier to do. then you have to remove the coil packs and the plugs are under them.

Ouch... Is this something that a person with no mechanical experience should be getting into without the possibility of messing up their car or...?

Yes you need to remove the cover covering the spark plugs to get to the sparkplugs.

You could also test your psychic abilities on it, but in the end you will have to remove the cover.

don't bother removing the crossover pipe, you might need to loosen it a bit but it should slide out ok as is.

Back your self a bit, it's an easy beginers job and you'll be happy when you've achieved a finished job.

(saves $$ also)

Two things i did to make it easier on future changes was to leave out the one all key bolt just under the cross over pipe that is a bitch to get to with the cross over pipe on, also at the back of the cover there is a bit that goes down 90 degrees, as you try to slide the cover out it always gets hooked on the coil packs and the wiring, i cut that off so now it just slides out with ease, dont even need to loosen off the cross over pipe.
