I've read about all the people using copper spark plugs on the rb25 engines, and am tossing up whether to do the same with the gtr engine. If so what are the part numbers on the plugs??

At the moment there are platinum plugs which look pretty rooted. Car is running 1bar and exhaust mods.

copper platinum, WHATEVER they are, it makes no difference to performance! Do a search and you will find sh1tloads of threads on this topic! Only thing is coppers dont last as long! But anyhow, I know I'd rather use coppers, coz if u are going to pull plugs out every 10 - 20000K to clean them (as you do with the platimuns), then you might as well change them! If your not using coppers, then your wasting your money!

yep, used to have coppers in my engine. but recently went back to iridiums.

10,000 change for coppers is a bit high, i found they started to go to shit after about 3500->4500 klms.

part numbers are:

NGK-R BKR7E, BKR8E, or BKR9E

cost is usually just under $4ea, repco etc should be able to order them from ngk melbourne for you.

    • No not yet.  Hopefully this weekend if I can pluck up the confidence!  I had to sit in the car at one point yesterday to unbolt the rear struts.  As mentioned in an earlier post when I was putting it together there is still a bit of rotation possible so when I sat in the car, it rotated a little bit.  I near shit myself thinking the whole thing was coming down!  I do 99% of my own shit in the shed but I think I might call on some assistance the first time I spin it!
    • Strong first post. On a Skyline-centric forum. Have you considered actually going out into the world, visiting the actual dealership, and asking the parts guy over the counter? Or at least just call them up on the phone?
    • Should shit that in as for the driver ability probably not
    • Trying to find the plastic under cover for an 04' Forester X. The main under cover that covers most of the front of the vehicle under the engine. This has turned out to be a crazy experience. Normally I can find parts for vehicles, if I have the correct info, no problem. But not this! The Forester is a non-turbo btw. In a Forester parts catalog, for model years 03'-06', it shows part# 56410SA070 as being the correct part. So I go to the local Subaru dealership's website to order it. I type in the part#, hit search and there it is, the under cover. "DOES THIS PART FIT YOUR VEHICLE?" I type in my VIN# and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle. See Similar Parts For Your Vehicle." I click on that and part# 56410SA000 comes up. Looks absolutely nothing like the previous part. Not even close. So I go to a different Subaru dealer website and put in that 2nd part# (56410SA000) and "This Part Has Been Replaced By" 56410SA070, which is the first part I looked up. I thought OK, makes sense. They replaced the strange looking part, with the one I looked up first, so I add it to the cart. "Does This Part Fit Your Vehicle?" I type in my VIN#, and sure enough, "This Part Does Not Fit Your Vehicle." I've basically been doing this with various parts suppliers and dealerships, for the past 4 hours! Does anyone know what the hell is going on?? Thanks in advance!
