If you can run the 1.1mm gap without it missing then do it. The bigger gap the better. People only reduce the gap when they are running large boost or have old, weak coils that can't provide a strong enough spark

That's true, only reduce gap if you have to.

NGK BKR6EYA. = 0.8mm

I was running these on 10psi with stock ECU. No Problems.

Installed an SAFC 2 and my Tuner gapped them down to 0.7mm due to old Stock Coils. No Problems.

NGK BKR6EYA-11 = 1.1mm

I will go back up to 1.1mm soon as I just bought some Brand New Stock Coils.

This will be interesting...

That's what I thought.. I will try the 1.1mm gap an see how I go. It only has 140k on the engine so coils might be fine.

Is 1.1mm and 0.8mm the only 2 gaps I can run or should I try lower the gap in 0.1mm increments like as in if 1.1mm doesn't work maybe try 1mm then 0.9 then 0.8 or is that pointless? I'm new to the whole boost scene so excuse my lack of knowledge haha appreciate everyone's help :)

If they are the original coils at 140kms then they will probably be getting a bit weak.

And yes, you can just drop the gap by 0.1mm increments until it doesn't miss

Well the 1.1mm gap works fine. Revs sooo much smoother now. Coils must be good :D Old plugs had a little miss before it revved. Doesnt miss at all during idle or rev. Have no driven it yet to test them under load but all seems fine. Thanks everyone for your help

I've checked alot of places and I can't seem to find BCPR6ES spark plugs with 0.8mm gap I can only find 1.1mm and super cheap say (after rego checko) they are not a right fit for the rb25. After alot of searching and doing my head in I found BCPR6ES with a 0.9mm gap from justjap so that's what I went with... ?‍♂️ Stock rb25

Hmmm. You just set the gap to whatever you want with a very cheap tool.

I use those plugs with 1.1 gap and have zero issues. Drop gap if your coils are shit, otherwise leave at 1.1

So why so hard finding info ? Gapping copper/nickel and platinum plugs is trivial. Iridiums are the only ones you've really got to be careful with. In NGK if it has no - prefix at the end it is like this-

# heat range.

Copper/nickel plugs, the bcpr#es is pregapped to 0.9mm / 36 thou, there is no 0.8mm gap in bcpr#es coppers.

Platinum plugs BCPR#EP and Iridium plugs BCPR#EIX, are pregapped to 0.8mm / 32 thou.

A -11 at the end indicates an 1.1mm / 44 thou gap as an option, available in all of these plugs.

Also 5 is stock NGK heat range for RB25, 6 for RB26.

Probably why Repco / Supercrap say it's the wrong plug too.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
