Can Someone Confirm Exact Parts Required

[frx026]

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!!!!!!

Thanks

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?

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

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.
