I deleted the neo plug in first post, as I could not find it on the nkg website, I've asked before but does anyone know what they are using in the Neo?, the $650 is for NEW stock coils in factory box.

It is confusing yes and with so many things that affect the firing properly I have learnt from this that the best way to track a problem is to check,

1. your coils for cracks and with a multimeter.

2. the plugs for useability and the right gap/heat for the boost you are running.

3. the fuel is the right Ron rating

4. the tuner did a good job of getting it right.

You can cover 123 easily enough but 4 is harder, it is more to do with the timing that is dialed in for the problem phase but would be a rare one I think. And to think all I wanted to know is what plug to use lol.

$650 brand new coilpacks I would have thought to be a damn spanking good price.

Either way, with a group buy I dont think its worth it. I went down to my local autobarn (which really arent too bad...) So yeah, went down there. Said I want 12 of these. They said come back in 2 days we'll have them. Low and behold they did. $3.50 each or something. So if group buy fails, you know your going to do 'x' changes a year, just stock up.

Have a look over at NGK's web site and check out their part number break down.

The BKR7E plug without a dash something are pregapped at 0.8mm. 0.8mm will be fine.

Throw a -11 on the end and they are 1.1mm.

Also the S on the end will indicate they are a std non v-power plug.

EDIT: They are around $4-$4.50 each.

i removed V powers from mine n replaced them with bcpr7es which worked great for 2 days them felt yrs old, im gonna gap them to .8 this weekend n see.. got rb25 run bout 10-12psi usualy exhaust the usual did i make right decision n should i gap em down? what do you recomend? thanks

Not sure.. I found the standards at 0.8mm would feel a tad flat in the top end vs the v-powers at 0.8mm.

I'm not sure if it was this thread but I remember some one mentioned they had to gap the standards slightly smaller than the v-powers to prevent break down.

If you have BCPR7ES then they are already at 0.8mm. If you have BCPR7ES-11 then they are 1.1mm.

For 10-12psi you most definitely want 0.8mm.

:P

Opinions on ideal gap size?

as large as your ignition system will support. a small spark doesn't set fire to the mixture as efficiently as a big spark. Therefore you should stick with 1.1mm where possible.

however, if your spark gets blown out by running higher boost then you will have to either gap it down or improve your ignition system. guess which method's cheaper!! :D

1.1mm is no good... He will need 0.8mm. Every body who runs boost needs 0.8mm :P

either that or buy new coils :D

Edit - should note that I just gapped my plugs in the 31 down to 0.8 - not worth a full set of coils when gapping is that much cheaper!! :P

You'll find even new coils won't make any difference to a good set of coils that are not arcing out.

When I say boost I do mean more than standard. RB20's get away with running a little bigger gap for the boost run.

Depends if the origional coils were nackered or not.

If so then yes the spitfires are better. :P

basically.. If your cars running fine, 12psi or over and running 0.8mm gap, throwing a set of spitfires in isn't going to allow you to run a bigger gap. The spitfire coils are nothing more than stock coils painted blue, they don't offer better performance or anything just a new coil that isn't arcing out on its bracket. :D

when i oredered them in i asked for BCPR7ES and on the box they came in there was no -11 at the end so if there already at .8 what should i do? just upgrade to the V-powers? the bit i dont get is why they worked absolutly awesome for 2 days then went ghey... for those 2 days it felt like new car !!

    • 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.
