bilsteins out (too firm for what i use the car for, and to be honest the suspension i had before was pretty much perfect, just a little high)

drove it to the drifting

also its running a bit shit at first with the cold mornings, everything runs as normal once the water is over about 60°C

could be the plugs, they are iridiums but i've probably put 60,000 kms on them already :(

I asked about for you but the people i asked hadn't seen you

If you've still got that 3" cat i'll take it Peter

also, the car looks good from a distance, but there are a few problems when you get up close

so when finally get round to changing my rocker cover gasket im gonna change my spark plugs too, ive been reading around and looking on the ngk website they recommend, pfr5g-11, but ive read a lot of people just go with coppers - bkr6eya and im assuming once again -11

would that model in the coppers be the right ones for me? all i have is turbo back, and front mount.

aslo with the rocker cover gasket the half moon, when using gasket glue do you only put it on the curved edge, not flat?

also wanted to go the drifts... damn work

Yeah sorry I didn't have a chance to catch up with you, I was so busy I didn't even have time to scratch my self! If you're looking for me at a drift event I'm usually at Pit Exit or Race Control ;)

yep thats what i read, just saw they had BKR6EYA and someone else had BCPR6ES

but i think ill just stick to the bkr6eya

BCPR6ES or 7ES's

I've only ever used 6/7's 180-400+ rwkw

ok thanks yeah thats what sorta got me confused between the two, i think i read in there that one 'neck'/bit that sticks into the coilpack is longer....

am i right in putting the gasket glue only on the half moon curved piece? and the rest is fine to leave

thats ok mate

I saw Alan in the commentators booth (rather he saw me)

If you want to bring that 3" cat up to the sprints of whatever is at symmonds this weened i'll gladly take that off your hands, don't think i can do the wheels atm, don't quite have the money for it atm

Don't be fooled into buying anything other than coppers either.

i've always used copper BCP6res NGK plugs in kermit, at approx~25 a set i simply replaced them every 5k when i serviced. they comein 2 types that ive found, if they have 11 on the end they are pre-gapped to 1.1, if they have no numbers, they are generally .8 gap which worked perfectly for my car above 12psi boost (19psi atm)

tried bosche plugs once.. never again.

thanks yeah ive ended up with bcp6res, and i decided on the -11 as im only upto 9psi atm just have to find a day to do everything now

well that was a bit of a pain in the arse to change... not hard just removing everything. i had trouble getting the coilpack cover back on properly, ended up losing one screw and not able to get one more back on... :S

    • H2 (for cars) will never happen. It's not reasonable for any number of reasons. It's also not reasonable for almost all of the industrial uses that the fanbois say that it will be used for, again for a large number of reasons. There are some cases where it will be good. But, even those will be massively hampered by the economics. The only way that H2 can be economic is if we somehow manage to get from where we are to the other side of the economic-valley-of-death in which no-one can operate. You need there to be sufficient renewable generated electricity to be available so that it is effectively free. Once you are there, you can do whatever the hell you want and hang the efficiency. But until you get there, the ever diminishing value of electricity makes it harder and harder to encourage businesses to build the new generation capacity, and they will simply stop investing in generation projects. (I kinda think there needs to be just government money spent on building the required capacity in a non-commercial way, similar to how the first fossil fueled grids were built, as national-government owned utilities. And probably some nuclear in there to start. But this all should have started 10-15 years ago to avoid the chasm of death that we face right now). Synth fuels will be much more likely, but will only occur is there is at least some renewable H2 production, because you need H2 to do it. And you need stacks of free (or at least extraordinarily cheap) energy because assembling molecules back into fuels is exactly the opposite process to burning the fuel, and the reason we burn fuels is because there is so much energy squeezed into each molecule. So you're somewhat subject to the same economic valley of death problem as above anyway. That is unless people are willing to pay the current equivalent of $5 or $6 per litre of petrol-ish liquid fuels. Can you imagine it? The squealing at $2 now is bad enough.
    • This is so cool. Get a dashcam that records audio and hopefully you'll catch it.  Maybe there's a brand or some kind of markings on the back ? Are the pics hand drawn? I love it so much.
    • Hahaha yep, point(s) taken. I just like seeing different things and an EV in an R32 is pretty different. I'm not on the EV band wagon, I'm waiting for synthetic fuels or hydrogen personally. 
    • I mean it's probably likely that people overestimate their skills in dialling in a setup and noticing the changes. I had SK shocks and springs, and added heavier springs and got them revalved by Sydney Shocks to suit based upon what I told them I wanted the car to handle like. I got back a completely different feeling set of shocks, which probably (?) feel great on track but holy hell are they rough on tram tracks and the like. The shock dyno actually looks pretty similar to Shockworks (from what I can surmise from a screenshot of a youtube video - and my dyno printout...) Truth be told I doubt I'd be any faster or slower with either setup, or camber/castor combination. I also had whiteline eccentric castor bushes up front of my R34. I removed them and put in poly non-adjustable ones to soothe my OCD (nobody ever set the castor the same side to side, and it'd be near impossible to do) and be happy the wheel is centered in the well now for clearance reasons. Yes I wanted it to move 1mm 'back' :p I've effectively set my castor back to stock, negating all the benefits of that which is supposedly massive. I've probably also altered toe and camber in a negative (detrimental) way. I can't tell any difference steering the car.
