Hey check out ebay au, happen to see a post of NGK G-Power platinum going for $5 buck with free shipping..

NGK G-Power

Another interesting thing to note, for R32 owners etc... the coil pack PLUGS (loom side), have a tendency to DESINTEGRATE... especially if they're 13-15 years old... I've seen this happen before, and today I changed my plugs (after having missing on 2 cylinders... sounded like a WRX :D) to copper BCPR6ES-11's gapped to 0.7mm, and had TWO stuffed coilpack plugs. She runs a charm now.

Even if the inside yellow/brown section of the coilpack plug desintegrates, DONT cut the plug off... you CAN NOT buy these new (as far as i know), and will have to source them off another wreck. They still work fine if the yellow/brown plastic comes out, just push the pins/resitors back in, and connect the plug carefully... no dramas! :)

i iused the BCPR6ES and had major missfire problems under boost which then killed the plugs so it sounded like scooby. i then replaced them with BCPR7ES and all is well. i have an R32 gts-t std boost but HKS air filter, exhaust including downpipe with bov.

Im in england by the way.

Thanks John

With regards to the V-Power.

They are a little difficult to get here in SA but I have found Motortraders stock the BCPR6E.

The BCPR6E are the V-power/groove plug. I believe they dropped the Y.

From memory a set of 6 from Motortraders is around $17.

Don't bother with supercrap they wanted 3x the price.

Dirt Cheap. :D

They are..

I've been running them since they were called BCPR6EY. Around 2-3years ago for some reason they dropped the Y.

So in total including the Y's I have been running them since I bought the car 4.5yrs ago.

I have an old spark plug laying around somewhere, I'll grab a pic of it and post her up.

But as I said the only place that stocks them is Motortraders, specifically Motortraders at Edwardstown. The BCPR6E-11's appear to be a little more abundant.

Here's a quick google result.

and this from an old NGK link.

I gave them a buzz as Im going to throw in a set of 7's in a couple of weeks.

Unfortunately they don't have the BCPR7E/BCPR7E-11 or BKR7E/BKR7E-11 listed, the BCPR6E's are.

Bugger..

EDIT: And a couple pics of the BCPR6E that have done 30,000km's.

They were still running fine in the car but you can see they were on their way out as the electrode is well and truley rounded. :whistling:

No octane boosters and the like only ever BP98.

Sweet. Good stuff they have the BCPR7E then!

And yeah those sparkies look well and truely shagged. Lucky their cheap!

What gap are you running? I've found I can gap V-Powers around 0.1 - 0.15 bigger than NGK Platinums which is a testimony to their efficiency.

Yeah actually come to think of it, I've never been able to get my hands on the 0.8mm version. Always the BKR7E-11. Kinda annoying. The guys in the States debate about gapping the -11s down to 0.8mm (or less) as they say the electrode isnt parallel anymore. Still works good though..

I've noticed this also when I gapped a set down, which is why until now I've avoided gapping down.

Couldnt you guys just order in a whole bunch, group buy it on here or something?

Im going to try and find them tomorrow tho, and do it on the weekend see how it goes and all.

Quick question tho. If my little sprung coilpack contact things are gone, but the coilpack other than that is still good, what would I use as a replacement for the spring?

Well my worst fears are confirmed, 3 of 3 coil packs I pulled out had cracks and tested at the 20k ohms setting 1.5,1.6 and 1.7, I have allready found some new ones at Kudos motorsport, has anyone bought from them and these are OEM units.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
