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.

So what are they meant to measure? I had a quick look at the link provided but nothing stood out, it was only a quick look. :rofl:

With regards to the BKR7E group buy, I'll see what I can sort out but it will have to be after wednesday when I start looking. ;)

0.9 according to 3lit3 32's post (#71 in this thread), I got the OEM items from Bigsully84 (Kudos Motorsport http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/ ) 6 for $650, car runs stronger and smoother now, I considered taping them up, but that is a short term fix and i would of bought new ones anway, I also got some clear side indicators as well ( Im a sucker for something I want) $75. I went with the clear over the smoky look.

Iv just taken my plugs out and found they are "PFR6A-11" which at the start of thred says they are good for RB25NEO and Rb20/26 but not RB25DET??

Im having a miss firing prob under 12psi(no prob ta 10) so tryin to re-gap them, but founf that according that my conversion(online- mm inot inches, only tool for this i have) is gaped at .6!

is this any good for RB25? would a to small gap cause this prob??? Iv already had a go at silicone my coils(S1 33) ad have safc 2 installed... any thought gents??

I don't think there would be a problem the neo is similar to the R33 RB25...

On a side note I run

NGK BCPR6ES in RB25's gaped at 0.8 mm

However, I am currently running iridiums due to laziness, these are gapped to the 1.1 standard and I am running 10psi with no problems...coils are stock and are in good condition obviously...

yeah i cleaned them till they could be cleaned no more, didnt miss as much but still one big one at bout 5k, and i checked my coils so i dont think its them... thinkin maybe the safc isnt tuned for 12psi and maybe goin r&r???

ohwell, off to the shop for their opion i guess

*opens wallet and moth flies out* :

would using the wrong heat range damage anything? ....i am so confused after reading all this stuff :D

i have been running PFR5G-11 plugs, but now i;'m having problems after putting on an intercooler and upping the boost to around 11psi...... missfiring under load about 5000rpm.

so i was going to give the NGK BKR7E copper plugs a go ;)

or ab i better off using BCPR6ES? i thought the copper would be worth a go first cause they are cheaper...

ohhhh, all these spark plug threads are so confusing :(

The reason of misfire is because you got -11 plugs. Ie 1.1mm gaps which is way too large. I would close the gap with a feeler gauge down to 0.8mm and reinstall. Your misfire should be gone :D Failing that, then try some new plugs. BKR7E. Iridiums are a waste of money IMO.

The more your ignition is retarded the high the cylinder pressures, which means it is harder for the spark plug to ionise the gap. When your pushing the standard ECU to 12psi as some people would say you are in the R & R mapping. What is actually happening is that you have reached a higher load cell within the timing and fuel maps that is overly rich and overly retard which makes it a shite load harder for the plug to fire. Turn the boost down!!!

There are so many reasons for miss fires and most of them is due to poor maintenance.

I ended up getting BCPR6ES plugs .... i could not get BKR7E, only BKR6E was in stock....but aparently they are different, the thread lengths are different. NGK recomends a replacement plug for the PFR5G-11, BCPR5ES. so instead i got the "6" heat range (BCPR6ES) gapped 0.8. i will give these ones a go anyway. if they fail still, i will try something else, but as i'm reading through all these suggestions in the tread, it seems anything is worth a shot, cause everyone is saying different things :D

i found 7's are better in my car

honestly does everyone think iridiums are overated and lose power and gain pinging ???

Nope. In my line I'm current running a 6 rated Iridium IX NGKs....my FTO runs IRIWAY7s as the highest u can go in the NGK range in IRRIDUM IX series is 6s. The 6s are gapped to 0.8 anf the IRIWAY7s are 0.6. I have found both to perform really well. However I might need some 7s now due to some good mods on my R33.

u can get 6 x Iridium IXs from Kudos for 99 delivered...good price. I got my IRIWAYs of Kudos also as these are not a common range stocked in australia.

Was thinking too.... as this seems to be such a confusing subject, could someone who knows what they are talking about please make a sticky post of what to use? they first post in this thread doesn't seem to make sence. (i.e PFR5G-11 is a platnum plug) That info could just give someone the wrong idea...

the 6 heatrange will be fine. 0.8mm is also ok. nothing will be damaged. >_<

can I just say $650 for used stock coils!!! damn. If anyone needs another set you can have my stock coil for $400.

    • 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.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.
