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:

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

      By soviet_merlin · Posted

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.

      BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
