yea fanny. found out they were $60 EACH!!!!!

all i have read is that they have iridium tips. and some silicone coating that dissipates heat.

was just wondering if anyone has used em, and if their worth the price?

REALLY. wow that blows my mind....

was always told to go iriduim tips, for longevity and performance.

well if greddy's are just iriduims, will just keep using ngk's

(iridiums are meant to be better than copper/nickel ones)

I'm firmly of the belief that shorter life copper sparks are better performance as they are a better conductor. You just have to change them more often. Anyone who upsells you on expensive sparks made of unobtainium is just after a better profit margin.

not sure if that's sarcazmic or not.... :)

yes.. iridium do last longer.

copper provides better spark but needs changing more frequently.

but the 100,000km change period listed on iridiums is a crock of crap.

especially in skylines using stock computer with mods.

they tend to run rich which fouls your $25 plugs or your $4 plugs.

yup. i will chuck in a copper set for the east coast customs dyno day.

hope they work. but will gap them correctly of course.

is there a specific brand that is the best?

eg silly sollies brand or ngk copper ones?

we use NGK BCPR6ES copper's on almost all the RB's that come thru the workshop as part of regular service. They're gapped at 1.1, although if you're running high boost then you'd probably want to go down to a 0.8

Also you can get different sparks if you're having troubles with a cold engine etc, but in general BCPR6ES's are the ones I use... coppers are great if you have the time and patience to learn how to change your own sparks... takes about 20 mins.

copper ngks are the way to go iridems ect ect we put in the back bank on v6 magnas and camrys cause there a prick to get to. 60 bucks a plug your paying for wank value and bragging rights . i would spend my money on copper ngks and a set of indexing washer;s and still be plenty of bucks in front .:-)

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
