Hi guys,

I'm just wondering what the spark plug gap for a stock RB25DET should be? I've been getting misfiring on the last few nights and have been thinking it's the coils (they look alright but not perfect) but the spark plugs are pretty worn and are gapped at close to 1.5mm (i only got this car a week ago - so it wasn't me). from what i've been reading it should be 1.1mm. Is this right? I'm hoping a new set of plugs gapped at the proper amount should fix my problem.

edit: just found a lot of info on google that i couldn't find before (looking for 2hrs):

Cylinder arrangement - DOHC 6 cylinder in-line

Bore x Stroke mm (in) - 86.0 x 71.7 (3.386 x 2.823)

Displacement - cm3 (cu in) - 2,498 (152.43)

Firing order - 1-5-3-6-2-4

Idling speed M/T rpm - 650

Ignition timing (BTDC) M/T degrees - 15

Spark plugs [NGK] - Hot PFR5G-11, Standard PFR6G-11, Cold PFR7G-11

Spark plug gap mm (in) - 1.0 to 1.1 (0.039 to 0.043)

Camshaft operation - Timing belt VVTC

Power kW (hp) / rpm - 184 (250) / 6400

Torque Nm / rpm - 294 / 4800

Compression - 9.0 to 1

Induction - Turbocharged

hope this helps others like me :):D

Have a read through this thread it should help you out.

thanks heaps. i wish searching was easier on here :D

oh and one more question

everyone in that thread is saying the NGK part number is BCPR6ES-11 while their website says PFR5G-11

i assume the difference is platinum vs copper?

yes, coppers are the BCPR6ES-11

personally if i were you given the age of these cars, run it at 0.8gap to save any hassles.. run fine like that..

NGK etc are recommending the iridium or platinums in there books now too (for parts shops etc) so never mind them :D

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that

      S1 rb25/s14 starting problem

      I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.

      By Duncan · Posted

      Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required

      Harness is for a s1 Rb25det, and it is engine and lower harness.  the old harness had broken off plugs and was in very rough condition/exposed wires and splices etc. it is not able to be put back on the car, I could visually inspect to see if they had rewired any pins on the ecu plug. The fuel pump definitly isn’t turning off it’s an external pump and very loud you can hear it. Will look at the other harness tonight, am also going to pull the fuel rail and watch the injectors spray, will update here with what I find. Pretty sure at this point it has to be something to do with injectors because car will fire up on starting fluid and cas is clicking the Injectors. Fuel pressure is steady 43psi
