i couldve got you splitfires for 550 delivered...

You could have said that earlier ya cheeky bugger... Luke_ENR34 has been discussing obtaining splitfires in several threads over the last few weeks...

I would've been keen for a set too, although i just installed a set of supersparks an hour ago...

I'm running 6's in mine.....wondering if I should be running 7's instead now.

I've heard some peeps go even colder to an 8 or 9 even, but I assumed they got more track time

Once over ~270rwkw step up to the 7's. 350rwkw then I'd look at the 8's but then your in to easy plug fouling territory.

I run the BKR7E's, most places can only get the BKR7E-11's so grab them and gap them down.

I have no issues with plug fouling poor starting or plug fouling when cold.

The 6's were coming out looking a tad hot for the power its making; the 7's look perfect. :laugh:

I get around 30,000km's out of mine but thats really pushing them. They start to look worn at 20,000km's but don't seem too cause problems (hard starting and the odd pop) until 30k.

so ,

i was opening my door of my car and i saw something shoot past , went out on to the foot path and it was a koala , so i ran inside and grabbed my dslr and chased after him (was quite funny , a koala running up the street and me chasing it)

anyways he climbed into a small tree up the corner so i took about 50 photos of him and here is one of em

they are bloody angry things hey, ppl over seas come here and get attacked by them coz they think their good to hold on to for a while hahahaha :laugh: silly non aussies :P

Joel, on the topic of NKG plugs, can u get them pre-gapped to 0.8mm or do they only come in 1.1

All plugs for example.

BCPR6E or BKR7E are pregapped to 0.8mm.

They can be had from some stores but often need to be ordered in.

You can grab the BCPR6E-11 or BKR7E-11 which are pregapped to ..... 1.1mm and then gap them down :laugh:

I prefer to grab the 0.8mm pregapped plugs as the strap appears to be slightly shorter so the gap is more consistent even at 0.8mm to what the 1.1's are.

In saying that I haven't noticed any difference between 0.8 and 1.1's gapped down to 0.8mm. Currently I'm running BKR7E-11 gapped down to 0.8mm's.

cheers Joel,

i have a pile of BCPR6E-11 sitting here on my desk. i know what you mean about the long strap... i'll gap em down and get em in my car this weekend (my plugs are pretty foul).

i'll just continue getting these instead of looking for pre-gapped ones

cheers for that

so I'm currently running the iridiums BCPR6EIX-11 at .8mm......to run 7's, do I have to run BKR's or do they make BCP's.......what's the difference?

cheers for that

wasn't asking the difference between coppers & iridiums.....the suffix "IX" denotes iridium.

I wanted to know why Cubes uses a different prefix when going colder in plugs.

looking at the NGK site it makes me think they suit different models?!

    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
