Just wondering what sort of plugs others are using in their rb30de .

I,ve had a set of NGK iridiums in for around 50000 kms now , and never even pulled them out for a look yet . Am using BKR5EIX-11 . just found out these are the plugs for an r 33 rb25det and not sure now if they are the correct type to use in an rb30de . Any comments welcome .

Don, Ive been using the same Iridium spark plug as you quote in my own RB31de. I use my car for week end Cruising and Night Drag Speed Wars in Auckland. Ive had no problems at all. Im pretty sure that these are RB25de plugs. Have never tried Platinums or coppers in my skyline in 6 years of ownership.

hey suiram man. so you have an rb30de in a r33? have you had a chance to dyno it yet? what specs you running yours at? what motor did your car used to have?

im just in the finial stage of getting my rb30de running in my r33. and to think i was the only one in the country with an na rb30de or well atleast in a r33.... lol

yeah i think i am using the same plugs that your using as well as mine were from a rb25de.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.
