Hey all, sorry to have to ask but in all my searching I couldn't find a definite answer for the R34 GTT and i'm not sure if they use the same as the other RB25 engines. Does anyone know If I can buy pre-gapped plugs that are .8mm to suit the NEO RB25DET? If so what is the part # for these, I went into a few places today and they couldn't help me. Otherwise i'm going to have to re-gap the Iridiums I have in it because they are seriously mis-firing above .6 bar.

I'll also be looking at the coils and possibly treating them with araldite when I have the plugs out. Which reminds me, does anyone know of a guide for removing R34 GTT plugs? Found one for the RB25DE engine but I think it may be a different setup.

Thanks.

6 x BKR6EIX for $99 delivered.

Dont get the BKR6EIX-11, they are 1.1mm gapped ones.

Be careful when you start getting parts off to get to the plugs, dont break the boost sensor that is near the firewall in the middle of the engine bay.

Never fear; if you break the sensor - I have a spare :huh:

Nah you'll be right; provided the car is stock (air box I mean)

1) Get rid of the air box assembly

2) Remove NEO6 Engine Cover

3) Remove Hoses + Clamps

4) Loosen up and remove the BOV Pipe

5) (optional) Remove throttle body

6) Remove Coil Cover

7) Remove Coil Packs

8) Remove Spark Plugs

You do not need to remove the strut brace; there is more than enough room under it to work with.

The throttle body does not neccessarily need to be removed; you can work around it (might spend some time doing so though).

NB: There is one allen bolt under the throttle body that will be very hard to get out if you don't take the throttle body off (it's under the TCS motor). I got around it with a pair of grips onto the allen key piece instead of using a ratchet.

IMPORTANT: use a magnetic tray or something for your bolts and make sure you double check if anything falls into the spark plug wells. I know of one person who blew his motor because he didn't check it (poor guy)

Good luck!

If you have a problem at .6bar, then it's not a spark gap problem. Gapping the plug only masks the real problem.

before you decide on a plan of action.

Yeah I kinda figure there's an underlying issue (coilpacks?) but the way I see it gapping the plugs to .8 is just a temporary fix until I get around to getting some splitfires. Maybe I should just leave them alone and buy the splitfires straight up. Or have a look at the coilpacks and see if I can araldite them.

I've got all my coils out at the moment, they all look to be in good condition. Does anyone know what copper NGK plugs I need for an RB25DET NEO? The repco/autopro guys don't seem to have any idea because it isn't in there book. I have Iridiums in it at the moment (BKR6EIX) but I want to get some cheap coppers to regap to 0.8mm. Are they the same plugs as for the R33 RB25?

The standard plugs from factory are NGK PFR5G-11 for GTT R34.

Platinum plugs with a heat rating of "5" under the NGK scale and a gap of 1.0-1.1mm.

These engines run a hotter plug then the non NEO RB25 as its a more efficient engine and meets tougher emission level standards.

If you aren't making over 250rwkw, then you shouldn't even need to consider reducing the gaps. If the coils have failed repair or replace or else your never going to have the vehicle running correctly, and doing bodge jobs such as plug gaps is no the answer, longterm.

Just incase someone finds this thread whilst trying to diagnose the same problem, gapping the plugs didn't fix the problem but getting splitfires did. Car runs like a monster now :)

Thanks for the update! I have a similar problem. Did you try epoxying the coils before replacing them as per this thread?

Narh mate, I did try taping them all with good quality insulative tape but It didn't make a difference. I couldn't see any discernable cracks or anything that a lot of people described... It'd be a good money saver if it works, but in the end i'd say splitfires are the best bet.

I really need to get a multimeter and test out my coilpacks, 5 of them are probably okay.

Here's a few threads I looked at for info on the problem. There were a few more things I could've done to try and fix it myself but I guess I got lazy.

Hey,

i too am looking for the right plug for a 34GT-T and after doing a search n some reading incl. the thread by R33S2 with over 153 replies that took me half an afternoon to get thru, im probably more confuse now than before i started looking. :(

Planning on running da 34GT-T on 12psi, maybe even a tad more since i usually only give it short squirts. Planning on sticking to NGK coppers, in the V-power if i can get em, from wot ive read, i believe i should be using 0.8mm for that sorta boost, not sure which heat range. Anyone know wot the model no. for the plug i need and where i can get a set from? I need a set pretty soon.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
