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 .:-)

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
