Putting in splitfires soon and wanted to put NGK BCPR7ES-11's in (the ones that come in 1.1mm gap from factory) but apparently NGK dont make these ... they make BCPR6ES-11 and BKR7ES-11 but NO BCPR7ES-11 What gives?

The BKR type of plugs are 2.5mm shorter than the others so I'm not sure I want those in there .. any particular reason why NGK would have chosen not to make BCPR7ES-11 that anyone can think of ?

i remember these were the only ones available a few years back. it used to shit me because i allways had to gap them down. maybe they stopped making them because the .8's were selling more ?

why cant you gap them ?

I could but I'd prefer not to ..we're talking fractions of a milimeter and I'm not sure I trust any mechanic to gap all 6 of them accurately. I'd prefer them in that gap size from factory ...also less risk of the tip being damaged etc during regap.

Having said that ..even though NGK.com.au doesn't show BCPR7ES-11 in their parts list there appear to be plenty of shops that sell them (googled it) ..wtf?

how do you know if someone in the shop or the packagers who pack them at warehouse did not drop the plug or the box the plug is in before you buy it?

you should check the gaps on them anyway.

with the tool designed for it :D

QFT!

Pretty sure I have BCPR7ES-11 gapped down sitting in my RB20 right now :3some:

If you cant find them just use BCPR7ES if you were going to gap them down anyway whats the point in getting a 1.1mm gap unless you cant find the 0.8 which you can get your hands on from your post :D

If your mechanic can't gap a spark plug, find a new mechanic. It's not rocket science.

Even from NGK, you should still check the gaps as you install them.

Are you sure you need a 7 heat range?

I don't believe I'm reading this , if feeler gauges are good enough to set ancient contact points they're plenty good enough to gap a spark plug .

Feeler gauges are a glorified go/no go gauge and repeatable accuracy gapping spark plugs is childs play . We are talking to the thou or 0.0254 of a mm .

Simply open the gap up a tad with a small flat blade screwdriver , insert the appropriate feeler gauge finger and gently tap the outer electrode till it closes up on the feeler gauge leaving a neat fit - bingo 1.1mm or 0.0433" (tad over 43 thou) gap .

Plenty of people have opened up the gap on std plugs or closed up wide gap ones if they couldn't buy the manufacturers set gap .

A .

Howdy again mate, I changed my sparkies about 2 weeks ago. Used BKR6ES 11's I'm quite sure, gapped them down to 0.90mm using a proper spark plug feeler gauge - only like $9 from supercrap. Very easy, very accurate. Just do it :3some: Just put some paper towel or something on top of the hard surface you put the plug on to prevent scratching.

yeah i wondered that myself a while back until i actually looked up what the 2.5mm difference was. as tony has shown, it is only in the top section of the plug. the threaded section and electrode aren't affected. if the springs in your coilpacks were shot (or missing, LOL) then you may have the slightest issue with the lead section of the coilpack not contacting the spark plug properly, but as i said, i don't think it makes any difference in normal circumstances

hmmm, i just changed spark plugs on the 34 gtt

went from ngk PFR7G gapped at 0.7mm to BCPR6ES gapped at .8mm

after the swap i now have a missfire at idle.

i used to run the 6 heat range in my 33gtst with 190rwkw no problem (both cars running splitfires)

i assumed the 34 would be the same but apparently standard heat rang is 6 for them not 5 like the gtst.

So im guessing going back up to a 7 heat range would fix this?

What is the difference of the PFR7 plugs compared to the BKR7ES plugs?

    • Hi guys . Can someone help me  I bought an Android screen for my Nissan fuga but it won't turn on   
    • My guesstimate, with no real numbers to back it up, is it won't effect it greatly at all.its not a huge change in position, and I can't see the air flow changing from in turbulence that much based on distance, and what's in front of it. Johnny and Brad may have some more numbers to share from experience though.
    • Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).
    • Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers    
    • Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.
