Meh they say OEM is the best but obviously most expensive. Spitfires would be fine. they generally consider spitfires as an aftermarket upgrade. as for plugs your 4 dollar plugs will be fine just make sure you change them every second service

ok to clarify things: Both NGK, The BCPR7EY is a "copper" plug, roughly about $4 ea, The IRITOP7 is a racing iridium suitable for extreme turbo use and are about >$30 ea! *general iridiums -IX are not really suitable for high boost, but the IRI- series is and was its sole purpose for development (They are the same as the Nismo & HKS racing plugs)!

FYI: RB25 use BKR7EY and IRIWAY7. *difference being that one uses the ISO standard & the other JIS, meaning about 1.5mm difference in body length, both compatible with each other in most applications.

These plugs are 0.8mm gap std! * (where as, a 1.1mm gap plug carries a suffix of -11, a 1.3mm is -13 etc etc.)

At 19psi using '7' would be spot on, especially for street, but if your doing serious racing or vmax challenges then id recommend '8'.

Coils, Splitfire are good, but personally I'm looking into Okada Projects as they seem to be awesome on paper & I would be able to open the gap up to 1.1mm or more by the sounds of it (better emissions, economy etc)!

      @soviet_merlin Thanks mate!  Nothing too major but will hold me up for a while. I've got lymphomas to get taken off the back of my neck and the middle of my spine which always conjures scary thoughts!  It sounds worse than it is. Yeah great, conjuring more rabbit hole deepening , just what I need! 🤣

      I'd argue the F50 kit I got is very good value. For ~2k I got the calipers (refurbed condition), adapters, pads, brake lines, rotors, and top hats. I think you'd be pretty hard to get Evo/GTR/350z brembos + the additional hardware for similar money. Used market for a pair of front calipers alone I've seen tend to run anywhere from $1500-2000 depending on condition.    That said, something like a GTR or 350z brembo is a lot easier to adapt to the Silvia.

      Is there a significant price difference between the Evo/gtr/350z brembos vs the F50? Looks amazing.

      I was actually being a tightarse at the time LOL... My OCD is tickling me into running a 2nd 8AN Teflon hose all the way down and removing the 2x OEM hardlines. My other side of my brain is telling me to run 2x hardlines front to back (also acts as a fuel cooler, so win win).

      As I mentioned in an earlier post, I had some trouble with the Silvia's brakes dragging back in 2023. I managed to sort it out then, but the same problem came back to bite me late last year. Just take a look at the picture – I had a feeling the handbrake was acting up again, and I was right. Anyway, I'd been wanting to upgrade to bigger brakes for a while. Not that the Silvia's brakes were bad, but it was more of a "want" than a "need", you know? It was funny, though – at the time, I couldn't find any Evo Brembos, 350Z Brembos, or GTR Brembos for a decent price (of course, tons of them popped up online after I already bought my kit!). I ended up going with an F50 Brembo kit, which came with adapters, brake lines, 330mm rotors, and top hats. The F50 Brembo caliper was used in a few other cars too, like the FPV. I also decided this was the perfect opportunity to ditch the Silvia's ridiculous rear brakes and that awful handbrake (some of you were definitely right about that!). I picked up some R33 calipers and all the necessary bits – rear drums, backing plates, and new hardware to refurbish the calipers. Of course, it wouldn't be a project without a few hiccups. Turns out the brake master cylinder was playing up and basically (to put it simply) keeping the brakes engaged. I had it overhauled, and after some adjustments, everything was working again. The whole process took a while, as you can imagine. To top it off, the front right wheel bearings were shot and needed replacing too. This is a rare occasion where I'm posting an update while it's all still fresh! These pictures were taken just this afternoon.
