spark plugs : BCPR6ES. should cost you about $4 or $5 a plug. don't bother with iridiums

oil: something in a full synthetic in about a 5w30 or 10w 40. the recommended weight by nissan is 7.5w30 if i remember correctly. really depends on what sort of driving you are doing and how modded it is.

thanks man umm not that modded just like exhust front mount so pretty standed and im running 1bar boost.

Iridiums last a lot longer but don't provide better spark. If you don't mind changing plugs every 10'000ks or so save money and buy the BCPR6ES

I'v run both my R33's on these plugs without issue :D (both cars made well over 400rwhp)

also the iridiums don't last that much longer than the coppers for the price. i pulled out my coppers after 10,000kms and they were still fine. probably could've gotten another 5000kms out of them easy. iridiums won't last the 100,000kms that they quote. that is best case scenario. my car had iridiums in it when i bought it and they were approx 20,000kms old and they were stuffed. i'd much rather use the cheaper plug and replace them more often.

All very good points, Totally agree that those coppers do the trick, and if tuned right they can serve you quite well, if you dont mind changing more often.

Some Food for thought; (ive got a set of iridiums in the mrs car, been going over 50k already fine.)

Coppers $5 each x 6 = changed @ 10k (max 15k) 50k = $150 @ 100k = $300

Iridiums @ $20 each x 6 = changed @ 50k (max 100k) = $120 @ 100k = $240

Grabbed this from the ngk site;

- Fine Iridium tip ensures high durability and a consistently stable spark

- Iridium alloy has extremely high melting point

- Trivalent Metal Plating - superior anti-corrosion and anti-seizing properties

- Improved acceleration, high fuel efficiency and durability

    • 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.
