Give the 7's or 8's a hard run on the dyno then pull them out to see if they are too hot or too cool.

I've in my motor copper 6's are good up until around 250rwkw then up to 300rwkw 7's past that 8's.

Leaning out the cold start enrichment (of which u can do a fair bit from default pfc values) also helps prevent the plugs fouling on short trips. Tweaking cold start enrichment etc is the difference between leaving the car with a tuner for 3days with a $600 tune vs a quick tune for $300-$400. Or fiddling yourself leaning it out every cold start until you experience driveability issues.

380rwhp I'd run 7's. BCPR7ES @ 0.8mm

I've also ran resisted and non-resisted at around 400rwhp - no difference that the dyno or I could notice. Both plugs required a gap of 0.8mm with std nissan coils.

      Would be easier to just run the RB25DET gearbox, all you would need to do is have the tail shaft / prop shaft shortened. S15 uses the rear ABS diff sensor for the dash speedo, so you can skip using the gearbox speed sensor.

      Was the failed sensor by any chance this one? Did it just fail or start pissing on itself? I ordered one too, for fuel pressure monitoring, and now I am hesitant to put it in, hehe. Where did you find a brand one?

      You'd be insane, when a brand new 8HP is ~$4k, and all the work to put a 6 in would cost the same as an 8 and the 8 is a completely established swap. If you think that getting a cheap Falcon box is going to make it a cost effective exercise, then you're not accounting for the extra $10-15k that the task will consume.

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.
