Ok Guys here's a Status.. Update..

Pulled out the IK20 plugs looks like they are gone and seals are gone too and u see an orangey colour coming out between the bolt and white area with IK20 writing..

got some BKR7E-11 in there... gapped them 0.55mm stops missfiring now.. was to gap to 0.60mm but gapped down to small by accident..

I did have them @ 0.80mm but they missfired with the BKR6E plug

will this b ok @ 0.55mm???

Next time i wanna try 0.65mm n c how they go

Also i can get the Denso versions of BKR7E and BKR6E and IK22 which is 7 Heat range of the Iridium..

Do u know If Denso is a better plug or stick wif NGK?

stick with NGK imho

i read somewhere that you shouldnt have to gap a plug lower then 0.6mm

1 they start to burn out really quickly

2 the plug is no longer the cause of the problem - its the spark maker, in this case your coils

i would recommend going to splitfire coils and regapping to around 0.7-0.8mm

I also recommend you get new coils. Maybe check your engine earthing wire while you are at it. On top of your standard turbo heat shield there should be a connecting mesh wire tape to help earth your engine to the body.

NGK V spark plugs are what I use and they are fine.

Its to do with the spark length as well since a bigger spark gives more affirmative combustion.

0.8mm works - it is already much smaller gap than the 1.2mm standard plug size but not too small for effective ingnition.

the NGK copper V should be fine spark wize - they just need changing a bit too often due to metal loss if you don't use platinum or iridium.

edit - the V refers to the spark plug design V tooth sparking surface on the armature, designed to give a more precise location for a strong spark with less material loss.

Go order some plugs in FACTORY MADE with 0.8mm.

Any shop should do this for you if you ask.

They should have a book with the temp rating standard platinum plug of the R33 as well in the store. Be careful of those temp ratings, i think the smaller numbers are higher temp, unless you adjusted your thermostat stay with the genuine rating.

I've regapped my plugs to 0.65mm n no missfire @ all... but i'll try 0.7 on next plug change.. But on 0.8 it definitely misses whether cold or hot...

I remember it being gapped to 0.7mm when it was stockish just a 3" Catback, 9-10psi Boost & Pod n ran fine on copper.

k orangy colour means ther mite have been sum water in there at one point say if uve washed your engine bay an squirted water all over your coil cover,

the water would have caused a miss, its happend to a friend jackeroo before all i did was blow the water out an miss went away

last time i remember hearin to put BKR5E-11 in an gap'm to 0.9-1.0

Hi guys all fixed.. got some Splitfire coilpacks in there n got new plugs BKR6E pregapped @ 0.8mm.. First thing I noticed straight away is the pick up is lot better n seems to run smoother...

Not really sure if getting a Retune is worthwhile.. but i can definitely feel a power increase from the Pickup.. not sure about Top End as i haven't had the chance as of yet in 3rd of 4th...

Wat do u guys reckon???

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
