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

    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
    • That could easily make a horrible noise. +1 to the benefits of: a) Disclosing all relevant information when asking questions such as these, b) Actually going out and having a look at your own car, seeing as you're the one there, and we're not!
