Splitfire Coils And Spark Plug Gtr32

[Bonsai]

Just recently finished some serious Cisco study and passed my CCNA exam my girl said she would treat me to what ever I wanted for passing the exam. haha you should never say that to a person who owns a GTR with endless upgrade options. Well this was good timing my GTR was running like an old dog with asthma. It has gradually gotten worse and worse and it was seriously in-need of an upgrade. So I ordered some Splitfire Coils from Croydon Racing Developments and within 24hrs I had them in my hand. So the plan was for the weekend was I would put them in. I also searched the forum and could not find any DIY.

This was also perfect opportunity to replace the spark plugs which were last replaced about a year ago. Previously I had used standard iridium plugs worth about $19 each. I got my weekend taxi driver (aka the misses) and headed off to Super Cheap to see if I could source some good cheap plugs what the F##K was I thinking super cheap, the Misses was happy seeing the price of spark plugs on the wall $3-$5 each.

Long story short they did not have what I wanted and I walked around to Autobarn lucky they are close to each other and I spoke to guys and they had a good range of NGK iridium's. I settled for the Iriway 7 @ $30 each the same stuff Greddy and branded stuff is made off except there name is on it IMO. Previously I had the standard NGK iridium but this time I wanted to treat myself and the GTR since the misses is paying for it so I also got a magnetic spark plug socket size 5/8 this is good trust me the spark plugs don't fall out when picking them up or when replacing them back in. Got to the counter gave everything to the misses and $190 later misses nearly fainted she says "nothing f@#kn cheap about the GTR" I had to laugh.

Ok down to the nitty gritty. This is not a hard job to do once you know what to do. I am not a mechanic what so ever but I do believe I can try to save some money where I can and this is not rocket science. What I will point out is if you got a sore back then don't do it but that's about it. Just follow the steps and it should be all good.

Once I was finished I took my girl for a test drive to see the difference. Man I all I can say the instance difference you notice when you put your foot down. This was unbelievable the GTR drove so much better I can't describe how good it felt to drive the car just the way it was intended to drive. All I can say is this is an important vital upgrade on an almost 20yr car. Me and the misses were very impressed can't wait to drive it again.

Was it worth it........... yes it's definitely worth it.
