Well to my supprise I found 6 near new HKS Plugs in the new donk I got for my GTR. Does anyone have them and are they any good. They are currently spending the night in a sonic bath and will be going in tomorrow.

Yepp, I've got them in my GTS-t. I haven't have any miss fires or anything like that (touch wood).

Last time I looked at them they were a little dirty from the typical R33's overfueling while on boost.

Are you getting yours cleaned? Is it possible to clean plugs when they get fouled?

BTW: they sell for about $25 each :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

Guy's I don't mean to sound rude,,,,but you don't actually think HKS make plugs do you??????. They would be Nippon-Denso or NGK's.....

Oz GTR97V an Ultra-Sonic bath with Platium Tips,,,,,Interesting....What fluid did you use????. I would be most interested in how your plugs run after such a bath. Please keep me posted.

Oz: hows the festiva :)

I need some plugs so I to am interested in this one. I tried 3 places for iridiums last week and everyone was out of stock.

I thought I might explore the HKS plug route.....

Excuse my ignorance but whats this about a sonic bath>?

BY BY,,,,,an Utrasonic-Bath is a device that produce millions of really,really,really small bubbles in a small stainless container. It's used to clean jewellery,,,ect and more importantly Injectors......Every Injector cleaning company uses one to clean the Injector before Flow testing it. I'm just wondering what it might do to the Ceramics of a Spark Plug.

ndr,

The fluid was the same as what was used to clean my injectors. Apparently they look like new and fire fine. The proof will be in the pudding when it gets started today.

ByBy,

The festi still sux, I cant wait to have that adrenalins rush you get from a high powered GTR. Its been hard, today makes exactly 11 weeks with out my baby. I should have the car back either Friday or Sat, depending on any issues.

Jay,

I think spark plugs are too much of a commodity to warrant doing too much like fixing the fouling. Once a plug gets old you best put them in the bin. I only cleaned mine because they looked new and the sonic bath was right there.

yea i had them in my gts never had a misfire in 1.5 years.

thought i would change them so i payed for some of those irridiums which coincidently look 100% the same as the hks one. the irridiums had a miss at the same gap so i put the old hks ones back in. still going strong

Yeah big fella I had the exact same results after trying a set of Iridiums, I ended going back to standard old BCP6ES's. I'm now running NGK BKR7EVX's & have never had a miss since using 'em!

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
