Hi guys,

I'm planning to replace the spark plugs soon, but not sure about the part number. I have read a number of posts but most of them are about v35s with different engine types. Mine is VQ30DD direct injection and it seems like the direct injection engines use different sparkplugs.

Can anyone tell me the part number of the spark plugs that i need?

Your help is highly appreciated.

You won't be changing the mechanical fuel pump when you find out the price of it... Do they still run an electric one in the tank? I assume so, but I wouldn't want to bugger the mechanical one with too much flow or pressure...

Here is a previous thread on DD plugs.

I had a look at it, but it seems like there wasn't an agreement on what spark plugs for VQ30DD engines.

I think i will need to remove one of the spark plugs and see what's already in there.

If anyone with VQ30DD engine has done spark plug replacement, please come forward.

Cheers

The actual fuel pump is placed in a plastic container. So when you remove the whole assembly, you need to remove the plastic cover and replace the fuel pump. I will just change that one which is about $70.

I found those spark plugs at this website;

US$ 80 for 4 of them.

sound like a reasonable price.

What do you guys think?

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
