Adding to the VicRoads rip off saga...

Just replaced spark plugs in car...it runs 63 times better...10,000km is too long for copper plugs in a modified car methinks. Though that interval was more out of procrastination.

The only reason I let mine stretch to 10,000km sometimes is because of the bloody RB crossover pipe and not wanting to scratch up my pretty valley cover paint if I don't remove it (+20 minutes) to the job.

I remember my old ford laser... Pop off the leads, unscrew plugs, screw new plugs in, cry because you drive a ford... Finished in 5 minutes

That awkward moment when your housemate receives a letter in the mail from the Australian Federal Police.

those guys hardly deal with misdemeanors or misunderstandings. I wonder if it also deals with Immigration issues, or would the Department Of Immigration just deal with it? maybe terrorism or illegal visa. hmmmmmmm *curious*

It's a 30 minute job that should be 10 minutes.

And working with old hoses and screws, I'm ultra careful about the way everything goes back.

I leave the valley cover off, so I can do 5 of 6 plugs without touching the pipe. But Nissan Y U put crossover pipe slightly too far over the 4th cylinder? If I had uni-joint sockets I could do it, but don't really like using those unless I have to.

Can't get started, Chemical Heart... Every time I get started, you pull me apart.

I ran BCPR7ES gapped to .9 and used to change every 20,000, even when changed they worked fine and looked 100%

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
