are you after model numbers, or just types of plugs, ie. copper/iridium?

i used NKG copper plugs in my 33, and in my gf's stag, model number is BCPR6ES. :yes:

hey i need new plugs for my 32 and was thinking going down the copper path..if u dont mind me asking how much r they each and how long do they last..as ive herd u have to change them more often than say the platnium or iridium ones but they give a better spark as copper is a better conductor of electricity

copper ones are about $3-4 each, but only last about 5,000 - 10,000km, however they do give the best spark.

then you have iridium which are about $30-40, last 50,000km? and give a slightly weaker spark

and then there is platinum, no idea on price, but they last about 100,000km and give a weaker spark again.

i've only ever used copper, however i'm contemplating iridium as the rear 3 plugs on my legnum need the plenum removed (not as hard as it sounds though).

coppers are meant to last 15000km

irridiums are meant to last 90000km but rarely do without trouble.

and yer copper is not recomended for forced induction but alot of people say thats not true..

i have used copper in all my cars de+t and everything they are ok but dont last long.

i have found irridium to be a little better when the car is running hot, otherwise i havnt noticed any difference.

copper are $3.50 each

irridium are $20 each

ps i should have known it would be the same scenario as my ca..

but thanks guys help is much appreciated :yes:

oh and i was also wondering on what model number people had tried out and what the results were..

i know for a higher boost application the bcpr7es11 is recomended for the different heat etc..

thanks to the guy who pmed me also :P

    • ok so if i wanted to go 18's i would go for 8's  in front 30+ or 32+ off set at front and the back 9 would be ok? what offset should i aim for.. then can i do some  hunting for wheel rim choices..    If i get this - will this fit all around: Size: 18 x 8.5 +37 - n what tyres size tyre should i get for front n back?  
    • Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.  
    • Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?
    • Hey mate,  I have a set, one is slightly damaged but wont be noticable once installed.  Shoot me a message if your still after them 
    • I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
