Spark Plugs

[Flash89]

hey guys where abouts is the best place to get spark plugs for a rb20, i tried supercheap and repco but they only have listing with those 20bux each plugs

[Kaido_RR]

Auto-one

not sure if its the same for rb20 but for rb26 the codes are

BCPR7ES, BCPR6ES

BCP6ES and BCP7ES.

Bcpr6es

[bubba]

BCP6ES

Run them in my RB20, RB25/30 and RB25 Neo, basically we run them in all our RB's.

For $20ea I reckon they're trying to sell you Iridiums or something.

BCPR6ES

the problem is all the catalogues list platinum plugs for skylines, hence the $20 per plug. so you need to know exactly what you want when you go in there because joe dickhead behind the counter is just gonna take his book as gospel and ignore anything you say.

as said, for a stockish 20 bcp6es or bcpr6es. can also use bkr6e is they dont have the others, or even any of those with 7 instead of 6, but they wont last as long.

You cant use BKR6E, that is a Toyota spark plug and is 4 mm shorter than nissan.

i've used bkr7e for years without any trouble, so have many others. apart from the heat range whats different about bkr6e?

The spark plug is around 4mm shorter in the body and wont seat into the coil like the right spark plug would.

so what spark plug is best suited for rb25det (r33 series 2)

go to coventries and say u work for some company and get a trade discount, they don't seem to ask for proof if u sound confident

the last time i bought 6x plugs for my gtst is was around $16 including GST for 6!

BCP6ES-11 and gap down to 0.8 if you have issues. If your ignition system is good, gap them at 1.1

[luvpsi]

never had to gap spark plugs before how do do it

[bubba]

With some feeler gauges..

[Flash89]

got BCP6ES from repco, there are 2 different types there is the ones that have the -11 which is 1.1 gap other with nothing next to the number is 0.8 gap

well there ya go, never knew that.

dont get -11s, unless you have a very good ignition system you'll have trouble with blowing out spark under full load

[bubba]

I never trust plugs to be gapped very accurately from factory, I usually just get the -11's and gap them down myself.

[JonnoHR31]

yer always a good idea to check them but if they're alright then .8s save you the trouble of tapping the plug against something. i'm just lazy...
