now i don't mean to sound rude, but you should learn to use the search function. all the questions you have posted can be quite easily answered with a quick search. or you could've asked them all in the 1 thread.

anyone know the part number that i need for RB25DE? just want some cheap ones as im selling car soon and in the morning it stutters at low revs on cold engine, once it warms up it gets a little better..

any info is great,

thanks

The standard Nickel items are fine, NGK part number BCPR5ES-11 (or BKR5ES-11). The 5 is the heat range, 5 is most efficient on a stock engine, 6 is better for one that receives a regular thrashing and has mild mods (intake/exhaust).

Power gain from different spark plugs is negligible. Platinum’s are less conductive than nickel (i.e. worse) iridium’s are slightly more conductive, but your unlikely to notice the gain, perhaps equally better off with V spark nickels or something,

the most gain with spark plugs can be had by correctly indexing them, so they are all facing the intake ports (middle), you can do this by purchasing thin copper washers, to give you that half turn extra adjustment. some people have even managed it by buying a few packs of plugs and mixing and matching between holes (but copper would be best as it will squash as you tighten, so you can keep the correct tension).

I run indexed BCPR7ES (gapped at 0.75mm with splitfires) on my RB25DE+T with water + meth spray.

Probably find the best info here; http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Sp...gs-t104405.html

I've never worked with Nissan V6's, but I’d assume it would be the same story as the straight 6's.

Pretty much run what the turbo boys run but a heat range higher. When you change your spark plugs, you can tell if you’re in the right heat range by the discolouration on the thread, if its past 3 thread lines, you probably want a colder plug (test after fitting your 5's)

I used to have Indexed NGK BKR5EY-11's in my N/A RB25, had perfect burn and the plug wasn’t getting too hot.

I generally think your best with standard nickels (what people call coppers, but they are nickel coated, and all plugs have a copper core) and would get the best performance & cost efficiency replacing them more often, than spending 6 x as much on an iridium and replacing it less often. This obviously changes if you have tom pay someone to change them for you, in which case it might be more efficient getting longer lasting plugs, as the labour would cost the difference.

Hi guys,

anyone know what plugs i should use in my V35 250GT, VQ25DD engine n/a,

thanks Richard

NGK LFR5AIX-11 Iridiums

NGK list this plug as a direct replacement on the VQ25DD and VQ35DE.

    • Isn't there a fitting on the back of the balance tube? That's what the OEM boost gauge uses.
    • Getting a decent signal from all 6 throats is a challenge. I don't know for sure, but I suspect that the stock balance tube is not ideal for it. I have done it on an ALFA 4 cylinder (about 35 years ago, so don't ask for too many details). We drilled 4x holes in the manifold runners, put in some fittings and ran hoses to a decent sized (I think it was about 20mm diameter) pipe that ran the length of the inlet manifold. So, it was quite a decent volume. There is a "tuning" balance to be found between the volume of the common plenum on such a thing and the diameter of the pipes running from it to the runners. You need the volume to be large enough to damp out the sharp spikes in pressure signal you get as each runner gets sucked on by its cylinder, but not so large that it becomes too slow to respond to actual changes in MAP. And you need the hoses to be small enough to transmit the signal quickly, but not so small that they delay the signal. You might have to have more than one go at it, if there isn't any actual success based wisdom to be had here. Hopefully there is. Anyway, I would not do it on only a couple of cylinders. I would also not care about "permanently modifying a part". Just bloody drill holes and make stuff better. There is nothing sacred about any GTR unless it is a genuine museum piece that you shouldn't be modifying at all anyway.
    • He's still joining you, he's just delayed it and won't have the fulleh sick ITBs...
    • The strange thing is this is a URAS front bumper (or clone of it). The bumper actually does not sit flush with the GTT hood - You need the addon to make the hood 'long' enough to reach the bumper. I have no idea why they didn't incorporate this piece into the bumper itself.. instead of sticking it to the hood instead.
    • Another thought on this OLD topic: When you paint your bonnet lip, leave a small unpainted back lip/line along the back of the lip, where it rests on the bumper. That way, the line in the back is much more prominent than the gaps in the front/under the lip - and it breaks the hood-to-bumper connection at the "correct" place, when comparing to a GTR. I'm gonna do this with mine this week, so stay tuned for pics!
