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.

    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
