Hi,

I would like to know two specifics.

1 - what is the correct gap for sparkplugs

2 - what is the correct NGK iridium part number to use BKR5EIX-11 or BKR5EIX

Car is

R33 Series 2 Manual

Standard Motor

Standard Turbo

Only mods are

K + N Panel filter in std air box

VMP Custom electronic Boost controller 5/8 psi selectable

(yep, the car is pretty tame)

I Realise the two questions are similar. I just want to double check the exact parts required.

Thanks

Just ask at nissan or bursons when you go to buy them just tell em its for the rb25det theyll do the rest

ps-make sure you put anti-seize on the plug threads when putting them in or youll loose the thread in the head when you take em out next!!!!!! :)

Taken from www.ngk.com.au

Your Vehicle:

08/93 - 1998 NISSAN SKYLINE ECR33 (TURBO) 2500 RB25DET

Spark Plug Part No.

Recommended Plug PFR5G-11

Iridium Option BKR5EIX-11

So correct Iridium plug is a BKR5EIX-11, gap of 1.1mm

Burson's are about as smart as a BOX OF HAMMERS

The point of my question was to find out from people who had had expeience with this.

Anyone else?

:)

Obviously I have had experience with this and they dont need to be as SMART AS A BOX OF HAMMERS to look up a part number and pull em of the shelf for you and if your gonna regap old plugs on a skyline your just a tightarse in my opinion these cars defianatly arnt for those with shallow pockets as youll soon learn if you try to cut corners and save a few bucks youl end up with shit car :laughing-smiley-014: those who ask for advice and then shun what they get learn the hard way

:P

I repeat - BURSONS ARE ABOUT AS SMART AS A BOX OF HAMMERS. THEY ARE MORONS AND KNOW LITTLE ABOUT IMPORT CARS.

Is that clear enough for you?

I agree with you completely about people saving a few bucks and cutting corners. It usually ends in tears and the car turns to shit.

I can assure you I do not regap old plugs and am nowhere close to ever being a tight ass. I have never cut corners on any car I have ever owned. And this car WILL be no exception.

The reason for my original question was to confirm part number and the spark plug gap required. I know that you cannot regap ( or at least it is not recommended to regap them) so that was not my intent.

I have read many posts on which spark plug gaps cars should run. I was not shunning advice from anyone. I wanted to hear from people that have had actual experience in this with iridium plugs.

You should also understand that my comments about being smart ( or lack of) are not directed at you, they are directed at BURSONS. Notice I didnt say anything bad against Nissan either.

Cheers

It really depends on a few things,

You can either stick with the platinum/iridium plugs in the stock 5 heat range if you don't plan on doing much more to the car and want to maintain a reasonable lifespan out of your plugs.

If it was me, with a relatively mild car i'd be installing a 6 heat range plug in platinum/iridium with factory plug gap as it has little to no effect on how the car runs and will be better as you start to mod.

If you are willing to swap plugs at 10k intervals then a 6 range copper is the go, either a bcpr6es-11 or bkr6es-11 will do the trick. You can also gap the coppers down if you get a fmic and wind in more boost where as the iridiums don't like to be regapped.

Remember to check the gaps even on pregapped plugs (e.g. "bcpr6es-11": the "11" notes its gaped to 1.1mm) as they can be off in my experience. A feeler gauge will cost you next to nothing.

    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
    • Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
    • Hi All, putting the engine back together and everything is perfect except have this plug left over.. any ideas what it is for and where it goes? Is on cold side under the intake plenum *note not a stock plug, as everything has been modified Cheers
