hey guys,

Just a final update. I flew back from Japan yesterday, after going to a few tracks and many in depth discussions, I found anyone running a skyline (r33 and 32) were gapping there plugs between 6 and 7, some up to 8 depending on application but no bigger.

I pulled my plugs last night and regapped them down to 0.76mm.

Put them back and took it for a run. Car runs perfect. No missing accross the full rev range at all. And my missfiring has gone at idle as well, perfect idle. Drove it to work today and was perfect. So in the end, i've gapped from 1.1 down to .9 which was better but still problems. After dropping to 0.76, it was perfect.

I will be getting splitfires shortly, but at least i know i what the problem was orginally.

Cheers for all your help guys.

No worries mate!!........

As per yourself I'll continue to run <>.75mm, regardless of any further advice to the contrary, as this has solved many issues for me since i started utilising this method, on MY car.

I will also save my money, and not get Splitfires, as my current performance would not improve, with that particular mod.

I'm saving for some new 'synchro's'........lol!...now that's really gunna improve a lot of things !!!! (except for the bank balance).

Well done...and regards,

Superspit.

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
