baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha, you're kidding right?

Nah man i was serious,

i thought it only ever served another purpose in turbo cars cos they provide spark along with the coil packs to provide boost etc.

i think you need to do a bit of research on how engines work.

Are spark plugs just used for initial startup? Or do they serve another purpose also?

For when you use your head lamps also, so if you do a lot of night driving they're going to need to be replaced more often.

Dont listen to him ^^ Thats not true!

Spark Plugs are used for engine braking, you know when you take your foot off the accelerator the car slows down, thats because the spark plugs shoot flames and sparks at the pistons causing them to slow down, which makes the engine turn slower.

Dont listen to these guys TUFF-350, the spark plugs are only used for start up and for indicators, they can be used for headlights as the are never on all the time. They turn on and off quickly, like the indicators which is why indicators flash.

Im always happy to help my fellow skyliners.

all lies.. spark plugs are just there to fill the holes they put into the head.. they don't really serve a purpose.. kida like wheels.. they only fill the gap they placed in your bodywork..

stfu you jerk

spark plugs are only on rotaries, everyone knows this

I had a chat with my uncle who is working in Nissan as a Mechanic. He reckon try tightening the valve cover, if not the seals have to be change.

As funny as all this plug humour is, just need to know which dealer your uncle works for, so I dont go there. Ever.

Valve cover bolts are not the issue, seals are not replaceable. He really should know that seeing as most newer Nissans run the VQ now. Common design issue with the rocker cover.

hahaha, you slack kents.

here you go man. have a look/read thru this, and then search for more stuff and read that too.

    • Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys
    • Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels
    • Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)  
    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
