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?

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?!

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
