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

shot at 50mm 1.8

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?!

    • Hi everyone, I've been wrestling with this for a while now and have been trying to find out the cause. For context, the turbos used are Garrett 2860 -5s, the BOV is a BNR32 HKS SSQV IV kit, the car is currently tuned to ~470 whp on 17.5 psi. The car drives normally, pulls well when it doesn't happen, and I can replicate it fairly easily. It does not sound like turbo shuffle or flutter. The engine has only a thousand or so miles and has had this behavior since it was completed. After my engine was built for my R32 GTR, I noticed that the car now sometimes makes an air discharge sound on what appears to be positive boost pressure that sounds really similar to a BOV. I had thought that it was a BOV issue but even when replacing it with a brand new unit, the sound persisted. It seems like it's coming from the passenger side but I may be mistaken. The closest scenario I could find was this post here https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/https://www.gtr.co.uk/threads/maybe-a-boost-leak-opinions.147955/ started by @yakshii and it sounds very similar. As in, at partial throttle once I reach positive boost I begin to hear the same psh psh psh psh psh sound like air is leaking somewhere when I keep the throttle in the same position. It most commonly happens in 4th gear at around 3-3.5k RPM and 5th gear around 2.5-3k RPM, which seems to coincide with normal positive boost thresholds. It might be similar to what @Austrian GTR mentioned about his own HKS SSQV. Notable difference would be that when he applies more throttle when it happens, it stops. In my scenario if I apply more throttle during this repeated psh psh psh sound, the cadence of the sound gets faster and louder rather than stopping. If I lift off slightly and apply throttle again, it will normally stop and pull without issue. I've checked all rubber couplers to ensure that they are tight, but have not gotten the opportunity to properly do a pressurized boost leak test. If anyone has had similar experiences or thoughts on what might be the cause, I'd be very keen to hear them. I also have a video of it happening from inside the cabin, if that would make it easier to understand: https://youtu.be/2zqZXcx8jbA
    • I'd want at least $40K for mine, but thats easy to say cos I'm not selling anyway.
    • That's incorrect. We have 4 seasons, consisting of pre winter, winter, post winter and a small glimpse of hope!
