What have you tried to get it off with?

They often are very tight and hard to break the seal on - even harder if someone has put glue on them.

I have had to use a long bar to break the seal on mine the first time I took them off.

just a ratchet thingy.. with no extentions or bits on it. the lil square thing on the end fit perfectly into the plug hole.

theres not much room under there even wen jacked up. but u think get some metal pipe to make the handle longer?

prety hard to get some strength behind it when ur layn under there with not much room to move. lol

Yeah getting some leverage is the go. I was lucky in that I put mine up on a mates hoist - made it quite easy then to use a longer bar.

One other thing just make sure that you are turning the plug the correct way - dumber things have happened.

yeah, just use lots of leverage.. go buy a cheap 1/2" breaker bar... should cost no more than $30.

If your doing a GTR, drop the front driveshaft too.. gives you a little more room to work.

I fail to understand why so many people think its a good idea to do those plugs up so damn tight in the first place.

Its a tapered thread, you do it until its a reasonably tight... its to form a seal to stop very low pressure fluid from leaking out, not hold up the Sydney harbor bridge!

Problem is, once over tightened, its hard to make it seal up without tightening it right up again.. perhaps use a little blue gasket type silicone on the threads to make sure it seals without excessive tension.

      Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.

      Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.

      The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf

      Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
