Hey Guys

So I bought a set of splitfires to fix my jerking at WOT and misfiring problems on my RB25DET S2(R33 skyline)

May as well throw in a set of plugs while im at it...

Car has 3inch exhaust straight through with high flow cat. Nothing else.

Planning to raise the boost after I install a cooler and eventually shoot for 220rwkw(my daily driver)

What spark plug and gap would you guys reccommend (heard 0.8 is the best) ?

Ps: My apologies if this topic has been beaten to death , search function sucks. Thanks in advance for any help.

if you give it the beans on a regular basis, go the 7's, if you do a lot of driving around town, sitting in traffic and don't give it the beans very often, go with 6's. the 7's are a colder plug than the 6's, so they are a bit more prone to fouling.

my mechanic suggested platinum's instead of coppers. the BCPR7ES are copper i believe. any platinum suggestions?

any what gap should i run , engine is mostly stock as above

mechanic said the ones I currently have (IRIDIUM IX BKR5EIX-11) are not the right ones I need. Is this true(only done 3000km with them and the last to 100k)

only reason i want to change plugs is because im putting in splitfires anyway and wasnt sure if the IRIDIUM IX BKR5EIX-11 contributed to by backfiring problems

Actually, there is surprisingly little information about sparkplugs on this forum, I have found more useful threads on our UK counter parts. Most threads on this forum end with: "search there are plenty of threads asking this question" :). Mind you, this thread isn't on the right sub-forum so yeah off to a bad start.

    • The R32 suffers from an instrument binnacle that is uncomfortably close to the design of a VN Commodore's. But beyond that, the layout of the rest of everything, and the materials (ie the vinyl coverings on dash, armrest, etc) are acceptable, and the patterns on the fabrics are not as blergh as those in the R33. And R33 seats are....quite unattractive. I know it's only small details there, but I reckon the R33 got worse than the 32. But the big blergh is the overall shape of the dash on the R33. It's just has that whole Maxima/Pulsar sort of look to it. Nothing special at all. Generic Nissan sedan. Whereas, at least the R32 dash/binnacle was different. Less a wide expanse of boringly curved plastic. More a "cockpit" sort of look, even if nowhere near to the degree that the A90 Supras got. R34 seats look good on their own, until you realise that they are indistinguishable from the shape and fabric on 70 other Japanese cars. And the foam bolsters on them suffer even worse than the earlier cars. Other than that I don't really have an opinion the rest of the R34 interior. I took the bits of the R34 I wanted (brakes and engine) and added them to the best external appearance Skyline in the modern era (the 32). So nyerr!
    • Can I be your first customer? I would like hard lines done for the fuel system, 8AN up and 8AN back and the underside wire wheeled and coated (brush or sprayed) with that black tar shit.
    • Speak for yourself, I love the R33 interior. 32 is blergh. I like the 34 interior too. Then you start getting much newer in most cars and they all turn back to blergh. 馃槢
    • 500-600hp into a RB is already 'sinking endless amounts of money' into an engine. Especially a 30 year old engine. Unfortunately this is the RB Game. Considering stock power (or at least stock components) will do ~360whp on 98 by simply turning up the boost on the stock gear on a RB26, that would be where I'd say the cutoff point for "sinking endless amounts of money into the engine" Cause to even do this reliably you'd probably need to replace all the bits anyway cause they're old, starting your sinking journey anyway. I reckon the least painful way is rebuilding the engine to make 50hp over stock lol. The 'plan your ownership around a rebuild' was a common saying 15 years ago.
