hey guys i have an 98 r34 gtt with

3" x force exaust

boost at 10psi

pod

just jap stealth intercooler

whats the best place to get new spark plugs? and wats the code of them? i asume copper 0.8mm gapped plugs (because i am aiming at over 200rwkw) right?

ive read the big sticky thread about missfiring which seems to get confusing i recon, and am wondering could this also fix my missfire problems?

thanx in advance ppl :)

First thing you need to do is :

1 check if the engine warning / checklite coming ON (flashing in the dashboard) ?

2 if yes, dont do anything such as replace coils or even waste time looking at them until you confirm if its a Code 21 - there are many posts describing how to check for Code 21 takes about 1 minute - a misfire may be caused by many other factors

Then start the process of elimination based on what Code you got.

In many recent posts about misfires there is so much useless speculation and misinformation - the sensible thing to do is rely on the ECU Codes (they are there to tell you what the problem is) - seems many Skyline owners never bother to do that or even d/l or read the Service Manual - lol

The Manual has all the info you will need to run any tests.

hey mate, i dont have any warning lights coming up except hicas but i no why thats there. and i have an owners manual (that i got with the car) was looking through it before. So im not sure really... had a look in the owners manual about plugs it says use platnium ones but doesnt say a code. and i kinda want copper ones anyway i think gapped at 0.8m.. can any1 tell me the code of these and where i could get them? are they the same as r32 and r33's?

    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
    • BTW, the reason I came in here to "update" this list was that the Garrett G Series II range have been released and I've updated the list with their flow details if you're curious to check how they fit with previous Garretts and other brands The G-Series II G35 990 looks like a banger...
    • Hi all, I thought I'd put one of these references in here before but it seems I haven't - not sure how many people are actually using this place still but I feel like there are guys lurking about who might find this reference useful or interesting.  A lot of the time people don't catch key details or even fully understand how compressor maps work - or don't even look at them and just go from heresay about deciding how different turbos may compare, but I've been putting together this table over the years as a quick reference to get a gauge of how certain compressors compare to cut down the time that can be wasted looking around aimlessly. * This relates purely to compressor flow, so won't necessarily reflect the outright capabilities of these turbos as the power potential also comes down to the turbine side.  If you understand this, you should be able to use this 😃 * The inducer and exducer size listed are the mm of just the compressor wheel * The values under the "psi" headings are "lb/min airflow" and reflect the maximum airflow that compressor supports before it's efficiency dips under 65%, or it reaches it's maximum speed - whichever comes first. Any questions, or requests for other turbos which the compressor map is available for then let me know 🙂
    • And what you pay for a pack of 8 bolts and nuts at Bunnings, will land me 200 of the same nuts and bolts from a fastener shop.   M12 * 1.25 IS a standard. It's not like ordering M12x1.25 and hoping the thread pitch is right. Unlike ordering an ounce, will get you 4 different amounts depending on which ounce someone takes it to be. Your issue is a supply issue.
