Bosch plugs? :) Bosch SUPER4 plugs? :bahaha: They would have to be the worst plug ever. Alot of wasted R&D there... The produced spark is grounding all over the place, much like an lightning storm! Unstable spark! The best actual spark energy, is the one with the finest diameter with the highest voltage and the shortest distance. (but not too small to not entirely burn the whole mixture evenly)

I'd like to see you fit these plugs into a skyline!! :) The correct part number is BCPR6ES. Just some friendly criticism to be more careful with your part numbers!

but, yeah, i tend to agree with everyone else. this is pointing to either extreme detonation or failure due to heat fatique.. NGK would be quick to point this out too. I have NEVER had to make a claim on faulty NGK spark plugs in my 5 years of automotive retail. The condition of plugs is an excellent indicator of an engine's health/tune.

BCPR6ES-11 if you want to maintain a stock 1.1 or similar gap, BCPR6ES if you want .8 gap or less.

I run bcpr6es-11 gapped to 1.05 no misses or anything. Dynoed at 164.2rwkw on 11 psi today with no pings. Found out my pnuematic boost controller brought the boost on way too quickly and the car pinged it's ass off, apparently, not that you could hear it while driving.

You should have seen the near vertical power curve though :D (I wish I'd got a print out of that run)

dale - they were the plugs recommended as factory replacements in the NGK manual.

Danny - .8 but the recomended was 1.1 according to NGK however i was told to gap them to .8 by sam and he guys at ICE.

This car never had this issue before i went to the platinums over the coppers... even running 15psi it never had an issue and the plugs in it had been there for quite some time.

Im at a loss... im going to have to open it up for the 3RD time now and see if they have ****ed up yet again.

Busky2k.. The problem with BKR7E plugs is that they are based on the ISO (International Standards Organization) plug height which is 50.5mm.

What the Jap cars need is the JIS (Japanese Industrial Standard) which is 53mm high (when screwed in).

The only problem I can see occuring is if the spring in your coils do not have enough tension then the voltage/spark may not transfer to the spark plug correctly or it may cause the spring to overheat due to slight sparking/arcing in turn eventually damaging coils.

On the USA NGK www site the BCPR6E spark plugs are listed & have a V-Groove. The strange thing is in AUS or where I shop anyway these spark plugs are no longer under the part number BCPR6E.

I found the spark plugs to use which still have the correct attributes with the JIS standard. I can't remember.. :D

I'll have to have another look at the NGK part number break down pdf and this time write down the spark plug number.

When running standard timing and near stock boost you won't notice any difference between the standard type plugs and the V-grooves. I'm able to run more timing when running up around 1-1.1bar with the V-grooves. I've had a little bit of a fiddle as my last set of plugs were standards. I put the standards in and had to drop the timing back as once on boost and powering down the road I would notice a slight hesitation or flattening out.

So I upped the timing again and drove the car.. yep hesitation. Slapped the V-grooves in and no hesitation.

    • Initially I thought having a pair of Recaro seats would be a big bonus, it turns out these do get a little uncomfortable on long journeys (my fault, not the seat). I had a look through the GSM Performance website at reclining seats and booked an appointment to visit their show room. I got the Recaro Sportster CS for the R34 from here, was very happy with the service received so of course a re-visit was in order. Unfortunately the two Corbeau seats I had chosen aren't on display but they had 4 other options available. Two seats dug into my back, one dug into my legs and the other was perfect. I also found out that Recaro seats use a larger bolt pattern so some adaption was required. Luckily GSM offer some universal adaptors that should solve this problem. I searched the interwebs for price comparisons and Corbeau themselves were the cheapest at £300 cheaper (for the pair). I asked GSM if they could price match, unfortunately they couldn't. I later received an email saying Corbeau would honour them the same discount, but the purchase was already made. I did however order the brackets from GSM, both arrived on the same day. I started with the passenger side seat, knowing this was going to be a little trial and error. There are 3 mounting holes at the front and 2 at the rear on these JURAN Racing seat rails.  With the adaptor brackets mounted, the allen cap bolts started to push into the seat, NOT GOOD!  The rear mounting holes lined up but there were issues at the front. The holes were 1/2 hole out, so the brackets got a tickle with the drill to modify the holes. The supplied bolts weren't going to be long enough and a spacer was needed to stop the adaptor bars from bending. A local fasteners company supplied be with some nylon spacers and longer bolts (M8x30, although these will be replaced with 35mm long shortly) A before and after I pre-drilled the front bracket before making a start on the driver's seat to save some time. And in no time at all that was in the car too. The all black seats have transformed the interior and these are MUCH more comfortable. The only downside with the new Corbeau seats is I sit a little higher, but I'll happily accept that over discomfort. The Youtube video can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPyttKPktXA
    • All 3 I guess. The car came with the JASI Aero 4 door Type R Full Kit unpainted so this was one thing at the top of my list to complete then I noticed there were body panels parts for this kit so i picked them up along with some black mesh to fill in the front bumper and front side air vents. car is at a paint and body shop atm completing this work. Next I will be addressing the internal bells and whistles, great summer project I can do with the kids.  full interior removal - ,boys car sound deadening - pads and spray ,boys stereo, sound, lighting - Big 3, GTT or bigger alternator ,kids head lining - dye black add star lighting mod ,daughter. That's it for the next 5-6 months. I have some motor maintenance  work i have to plan out. oil filter relocation, gaskets, mounts. beyond that, mind is starting to turn over if i can use a DET intake plenum, block off turbo ports & pipe in a air intake.      
    • roller coaster of a ride. Alarm system was removed & main harness was repaired where possible. still no fix just random successful starts. moved on to the replacing the ignition switch and relay. well all this troubleshooting & repair has been going on, the car is at a paint and body shop being pushed around. Ive been going down there on odd days after work to get it sorted.
