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?

Edited by govich

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

    • Look for broken wire or bad connector at the motor. Might not be it, but is worth starting there, as it is easy.
    • Hi everyone, I’m having an issue with my R32 GT-R. Sometimes, when the car goes over a bump or experiences some vibration, the 4WD warning light comes on the dashboard. When I check the code from the control unit in the trunk, it shows Code 19 – ETS Motor. However, everything seems to be working fine — if I turn off the engine and restart the car, the light goes away and everything functions normally. Has anyone experienced this before? Where should I start troubleshooting this issue? Thanks in advance!
    • I'm back from the dyno - again! I went looking for someone who knew LS's and had a roller dyno, to see how it shaped up compared to everything else and confirm the powerband really is peaking where Mr Mamo says it should. TLDR: The dyno result I got this time definitely had the shape of how it feels on the road and finally 'makes sense'. Also we had a bit more time to play with timing on the dyno, it turns out the common practice in LS is to lower the timing around peak torque and restore it to max after. So given a car was on the dyno and mostly dialled in already, it was time for tweaking. Luis at APS is definitely knowledgable when it came to this and had overlays ready to go and was happy to share. If you map out your cylinder airmass you start seeing graphs that look a LOT like the engine's torque curve. The good thing also is if you map out your timing curve when you're avoiding knock... this curve very much looks like the inverse of the airmass curve. The result? Well it's another 10.7kw/14hp kw from where I drove it in at. Pretty much everywhere, too. As to how much this car actually makes in Hub Dyno numbers, American Dyno numbers, or Mainline dyno numbers, I say I don't know and it's gone up ~25kw since I started tinkering lol. It IS interesting how the shorter ratio gears I have aren't scaled right on this dyno - 6840RPM is 199KMH, not 175KMH. I have also seen other printouts here with cars with less mods at much higher "kmh" for their RPM due Commodores having 3.45's or longer (!) rear diff ratios maxing out 4th gear which is the 1:1 gear on the T56. Does this matter? No, not really. The real answer is go to the strip and see what it traps, but: I guess I should have gone last Sunday...
    • 310mm rotors will be avilable from Australia, Japan, and probably a few other places. Nothing for the front can be put on the back.
    • The filter only filters down to a specific size. Add to that, the filter is AFTER the pump. So it means everything starts breaking your pump even if its being filtered out.
