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.

      Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.

      I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things

      I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt

      So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.

      Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
