yes take them back and get 7s. in fact, personally I'd take them back and get some copper NGK 7s. BCPER7ES from memory. cost about $18 for a set of 6 instead of $18 each. you should be checking and replacing fairly regularly anyway and doing that with iridiums or platinums gets pretty pricey at $120 a change.

Sorry to jack the thread... but i'm actually looking at buying normal plugs but i duno the exact part number, i purchased the iridum type but everyone is right you need to change em regularly and $120 each time is a bit pricey... i'd just like confirmation if this is the correct part number BCPR7ES or BCPR7ES-11? and them gap em to .8? Thanks everyone..

Excellent thats just what i did 3 bucks each in stead of 18 and you can change them every oil change or not and i get the same fuel economy from the cheaper ones two

Are you saying the copper ones ARE BETTER or are you saying the copper ones are just cheaper and will OUTPERFORM iridium IXs. a set of 6 will cost u around 90 bucks that isnt much and it makes a GREAT spark. Iridium outperforms Copper. FACT.

I think what they're saying is that you'll change copper every oil change which would be what? <5k? as apposed to changing every second oil change with iridium <10k?? I was reading on the net about the iridums and they give a whole 2kw difference in performance apparently (dyno proven)... but again if anyone can help me with part #'s for copper for a rb25det that'll be great. So in effect you can buy 5 sets of copper for 1 set of iridium... even if you change em every 2-3k your still in front i guess... anyone would like to shed some light on this?

the platniums should restand heat and abuse more than the coppers.. less prone to heads being blown off. but they still lose efficency within 10k.. so may aswell replace them. using the coppers ull save money and change them at the same intervals...

whats the exact part number for the RB25DET Neo for 0.8mm coppers.?

i got $8 each platnium DENSOs for the R. bit better than coppers for $3

Please read the sticky FI Guide.

There is a link to a very very long thread about spark plugs, types, ranges, whats good/whats not etc etc :wave:

Someone took the time to type it up, do them the justice and have a read of it :huh:

BCPR7ES is what you want. they come gapped to .8mm. the ones that end in -11 come gapped to 1.1mm... just a note, no matter what you buy always check all the gaps before installing them.

so is the 7 the heat range and what the S stand for?

bcpr7eS

is ther a way to read plugs like tyres. eg235/45/17 66V whatever it is?

B-thread diameter hexagon

P-construction (ex. p-projected insulator nose. m-compact type)

2-11-heat range

E-thread reach

S- firing end construction (eg. s-copper core centre electrode(super))

-

9-20-Wide gap (eg. 9-0.9mm-20-2.0mm)

hope this helps

this was just jap who sold them to me. and i asked if they were the right heat range, and he said yes and sold them to me.

then when i showed my mate he said i should take them back.

well from memory he's right. they are the heat range specified in the workshop manual. so it's not really his fault for selling them to you. but what I know that he doesn't is that you are running aftermarket turbos, and lots of boost, and planning track use so with that in mind 1 heat range cooler is advisable. so in short, swap them for some 7s.

    • So, I've had my V36 for about a month now and have already copped an "excessive exhaust noise" notification from QLD TMR, reported by someone in my local area. It's a twin as per the original, and can have a bit of a throaty note to it when idling cold 😄 and if I do get up it a bit, it can be noisy, but it did pass a roadworthy inspection before sale, so.... ... but in the interest of being a good neighbour, I do want to quieten it down a bit. Is anyone here running a quiet aftermarket cat-back on their V36 or 370Z? And the big, bold question: does an aftermarket cat-back really make much of a performance difference on these cars?
    • The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.
    • Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.
    • Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks  
    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
