Plugs?

[DiNoBoNeS]

Where are spark plugs in a R34 GT? my car is getting a service now and the dude called me back. He Said that they will have to rip apart the manifold and its going to be an extra $200 on top of the service? does this sound right?

plugs should only take 1 hour.

[SKYRYAN]

Get a new mechanic hahah

lolwut? take it to someone who knows skylines....

spark plugs are in the same place as every other twincam RB.. in the valley between the cams.. srsly tho, I wouldn't let that goose do anything else to your car.

[Tezzah]

I rekon the "mechanic" thinks the Neo Cover is part of the intake manifold...

Obviously none of you have done the plugs on a R34 ?

I've done it, and because of the additional traction control butterfly it is indeed necessary to remove alot more than an equivalent R33 etc. Not sure I'd pay $200 extra, but definately takes more time.

Plugs are easy, just do it yourself, your time doesn't cost you anything right ?

[Tezzah]

Indeed i haven't done an R34, so define, "Alot more" ???

[NA_Goodness]

Yeah, an extra $200 doesn't sound right. Im doing plugs on my mates 34 soon, so it'll be interesting to see how mch longer it takes. But like Paul said, DIY is fun and somewhat easy. Just put everythig back exactly the same and you'll be sweet.

$200?

If thats including the platinum plugs then that is a good deal

They are normally about $20 each.

so 6 X $20 + GST = $132 parts + 1hr's labour.

That not too shabby

[alpinestars]

doing plugs on a r34 is a flamin mongrel you just cant slide out the spark plug cover compare to a r33 some much shit is in the way in order to do the plugs, like paul said the throttle body, and plus like hoses and other random shit

[GTS-t VSPEC]

Yep, I used to do my 33 in about 20-30mins all up, I'd say 3-4times longer for a 34. It's a real prick of a job, but over a few beers it wouldn't seem so bad

my tuner pulled out my sparkplugs to shorten the gaps, took him around 10mins to have them all out while my car was still up on the dyno.

he didnt charge me anything extra for doing it, n got rid of some serious pinging.

i have much love for ovaboost

all easy stuff to do if you have the patience, and a simple toolkit.

[NA_Goodness]

OVABOOST is the best in my opinion, although Hyperdrive and Tenagah are really good as well.

[Char]

air filter? as in a standard air filter mat? ... get a decent air pod, thats the way to go

+1 for Hyperdrive.

-1 for platinum plugs. waste of money IMO.. just go for some NGK BCP6ES coppers.

[RICCA]

NGK - never go wrong
