Sorry to hijack but I just got myself a set of plugs I wanted bcpr6es but could only get bcpr6es-11 now I'm running stock turbo with 10psi and aftermarket ecu soon to be 12psi should I regap to .8 or just leave 1.1

Andrew put coppers and changed the gap on my sparkies on my n/a 34 .. the car always makes a popping sound and shakes rather violently at idle now .. feels very weird, I called him up and he said he changed the gap so it would misfire at idle rather than higher up in the rpms, but it never did misfire higher before :S

but it may be the second hand OEM coilpacks we put in to replace mine ..

I have no clue, gotta take it back to andrew sometime soon :(

They will work on both R33 GTS-T and R32 GT-R? Same plugs?

work fine on all twin cam RBs

Jonno34, you basically want to run the largest gap you can without getting any misfire under load, every engine is different so it takes a little trial and error. might be worth learning how to do it yourself as im sure its not too cheap paying a workshop $100+/hr

Cheers mate, ill search around and try to learn how to do it soon!

so the misfire at idle was due to the spark plug gap? i was worried it was the coilpacks and I got myself a faulty set :( their expensive things and id really hate to have to buy another set ...

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      By Milkmun · Posted

      Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.

      @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣

      Modern oils are amazing. Add tyres to that as well.

      Probably a smart choice to buy one vs build, purely for the motivation part as you said! Imagine the metal dust everywhere from grinding all the steel to build one. Ha ha ha!   Also, post a photo of your garage.   Mine is below, this is where I've been cleaning and have already half filled a caged 6*4 trailer. And this is after my cleaning expedition mentioned previously... The middle normally has a car in it, but I'm dumping things in the middle as I sort through them. And poor skyline was dusty and has had the lightest few drops of rain and now it looks atrocious and needs to be dragged back out and washed thoroughly! And yes to the right is technically another bay, you really can only see 2 bays out of 3 in this picture.

      It's more like on average the things I see a lot of things going wrong. Yes, usually the people who reach out are the ones who are having problems but on average it feels like mechanics and tuners here aren't really competent. I swing between thinking my standards are just way too high and wondering whether people really are just this dumb. I just had the strangest 10+ reply argument on a Facebook group over someone insisting that the factory R34 GTT boost control solenoid reduces boost pressure to 5 psi when it's on and raises boost pressure to 7 psi when it's off despite showing the exact plumbing in the factory service manual and the solenoid behavior detailed in the FSM.
