7's are really to cold for a street driven car, id be suprised if they came out "clean"

Generally there is no formula for heat ranges, rather you have to read the plug and make an educated decission about whats going to work.

For a mild street driven car 6's are the way to go. I usually run 6's if I drive it around and change to 7's when I know its going to get flogged.

NGK coppers, the BCP6ES as people have mentioned.

Alternatively a swap of plugs, from the daily driven 6's to 7's for a track day is a better solution again.

Platinums and irridiums are a big waste of money. Don't bother with them.

NGK coppers wont last more than 5000 kms, platniums are ment to last around 30,000+kms depends on what mods

But coppers make a better spark. Platniums / iridiums etc. are ok for stock or na cars but i'd stick to coppers for anything forced induction or making decent power.

platinum plugs for stock passenger cars and nerdy drivers.

For many years I've used copper plugs for the basic reason that plugs are a tuning consumable and a tuning indicator. When you start into performance tuning even at very mild levels irridium and platinum plugs become a waste of money. Not only that but being coated in a substance that promotes a very clean surface means they are pretty useless at acting as a tuning indicator.

hey how long do your copper plugs last before you need to replace them.

or you notice loss in power.

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
