The search function is great when it finds exactly what I was searching for.

I inquired specifically about the NGK R7433-8, not the standard copper or the iridium.

My tuner gave a suggestion and I prefer an opinion from other English speaking enthusiasts before I drop $180 on a set.

NGK BCPR6ES is all you will need.

As posted by NYTSKY most users of this forum run the standard cobber plug but different heat ranges. I personally use a race plug and set my plugs up different (wont go into detail on the forum at the moment as its a race secret) but we have back to back dyno runs with just a plug change that shows an increase in power through the rev range in the race car :P

If your tuner recommends those plugs ask him why and what are the benefits/gains in doing so :P

I plan on asking him as I had my wife inquire what plugs I should use when she ordered more parts and set up for a tuning appointment.

With my limited Japanese and his limited English, it usually ends up with him saying, "more better". He doesn't give a crap where I buy them but his price is usually much less than others because I have already spent a few thousand at his shop in parts. I get a discount as I am a regular and his only gaijin customer.

He said any are good as long as they are the 8 series heat range.

Heat range 8 is way too cold for a street car. 7's would be as cold as i would go.

Also considering the weather in in Japan i would also not go over a 7 but again unless there is something your tuner knows hence the recommendation :starwars:

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
