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

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.

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.

      Skyline v36 350GT sedan hunting on idle

      By Robot · Posted

      Hi,  Just joined the forum so I could share my "fix" of this problem. Might be of use to someone. Had the same hunting at idle issue on my V36 with VQ35HR engine after swapping the engine because the original one got overheated.  While changing the engine I made the mistake of cleaning the throttle bodies and tried all the tricks i could find to do a throttle relearn with no luck. Gave in and took it to a shop and they couldn't sort it. Then took it to my local Nissan dealership and they couldn't get it to idle properly. They said I'd need to replace the throttle bodies and the ecu probably costing more than the car is worth. So I had the idea of replacing the carbon I cleaned out with a thin layer of super glue and it's back to normal idle now. Bit rough but saved the car from the wreckers 🤣

      After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.
