Also check your cooler pipes......

Irridium plugs are around the $120 mark!!

getting there sbout 45 mins on it tonight

alot of time is wasted looking @ tuts reading then trying then undo'ing when it fails re-reading redoing re-undoing you may notice i chopped up another picture and overlayed it in there and thats where the red on the rear shot has come from

Mark - also check the gap alot of plugs are sold @ 1.1mm and should be .7-.8 for high boost

at 1.1mm they may run ok but up the boost and run crap

no, 120 the set, Simon32 says just get copper there fine you just may need to replace them sooner

iridiums are meant to last longer thats why there dearer oh and there made of iridium i guess

i heard irridium dont last long? and 120 each... yowza!

thanks steve yeah ill gap them and check them out. got hks sparkplugs in the vl.. might just swap depending on condition

Reuben your Air box is that basically what the R33 one looks like ?

I believe so! I've got a HKS pod under it. Its only there to appear stock ... so is the rest of the work to the bay. Got to keep it looking stock as a bone :)

I'm also replacing my plugs and ensuring the gap is 0.8mm.

Mmmmm ... coilpacks :D

    • Thanks for the linkie. Certainly always a great deal of help when people post comparisons like these, but I think for now I'll stay away from any semi slicks. I did go ahead and order the sportcontact 7. My buddy has them on his modified A4 and he keeps saying how good they are. For my intended purposes these will probably work real well. I'll report on them once I had the chance to try them out
    • Talk about noisy. Even when I still had the Tomei under the car I could distinctly hear the tires rolling. And I doubt I ever will need maximum grip like on a track. My GTR will maybe never even see the 600hp mark and I need to get used to the car quite a bit before challenging the limits of its handling. For the next winter storage I think I will get a set of these rubber drive-on thingies that have a tire shaped base. Those supposedly really help prevent flat spots.
    • Well our climate is definitely way less hot overall and the weather can be quite picky at times. I just know that during normal road use or even spirited drives there is no way I'd be able to consistently stay in the operating temperature, and constantly changing the tire pressure would also be a royal pain.
    • Input shaft bearing. They all do it. There is always rollover noise in Nissan boxes - particularly the big box. Don't worry about it unless it gets really growly.
