LOL @ the people saying it'll crush up/burn...

1: It's the end of a spark plug. It won't burn

2: While it's being "crushed up" it's being slammed into your bore and gouging the f**k out of it...

3: When it reaches the head side of things and gets to the valves... Even more trouble...

I have a piece of piston come loose and "crush up" in my motor... It took everything out, lost compression through the bottom end, and also smashed valves... And the only sign? Masses of blue smoke on throttle, and a lumpy idle.

yep . thats it. valves bend easy. mate did the same thing. hopefully it hasnt scored the bore/ damaged a rings. good luck buddy. feel ur pain

impossible unless you fitted the wrong plugs (projected type), skyline plugs MUST be BCP type.... we use BCPR7ES, i see alot of BKR plugs in rb's and they are also WRONG.

The porcelain makes nice divits in the head and piston which in turn cause hotspots and promote pre ignition (pinking)

whats the difference between bcp and the bkr7e's everyone was raving about for a while, do they sit too far down?

Hey dude, Sounds like this car is not your daily drive?, so its easy then jus get a good VAC borrow (pay) from a good engineering shop, Clean it out as good as you can by using a fitting with a hose end for the vac and screw it in to the spark plug hole, then just start it and run it, You've already started it a few times anyways if it runs take it for a drive see how it is then jus do a comp test it'll most probably run if not it needs a to be pulled apart shit happens.

jus do it, ya live n ya learn.

this i would like to know too (sorry to go offtopic)

just got bkr6eIX plugs for my 25... 3 tuning companys recommended them rather than the bcp's.

As far as i was aware it's just a slight difference in length on the top of the spark plug (going into the coil pack). The BCP is higher and makes a better contact, the BKR sits lower. I've used both on many occasions and never seen any difference.

I'd like to know more on what Trent is talking about. Maybe the BKR's are a bit more prone to missfire due to the contact point.

rb love a bit of ceramic

i only found out i droped some in after starting the car and freaked out about the noise

like i said no compression for 2 minutes

though i had gone so far so let it ide for a few more then suddenly the noise disapeared and i had compression

i dont recomend it but hey if your f**ked it you need to pull it appart .. in my case it wend for another 10000 km and didnt really need a re-build.

in other news after rebuilding the engine i was so wasted that i droped it form about 1 metre up and smashed the sump, while i was loweriung it into the engine bay... i was dancing to a good tune on the radio... which required a new one

lol

in say that...the above the engine is still living making 400 + rwkw to this day

good times

it can completly ruin your engine. i had that happen to my old fj20. id got stuck between the piston and bore. 2mm grove in the bore. complete throw away.

you really need to use a bore scope and make sure you get it all out. or pull the head off. you may be able to blow it out with compressed air but make sure the exhaust valve is open, not the inlet..

actually i did try and blow it out for about 30 minutes when i discovered the lack of copression..... good idea

i havent touched it yet bu i plan to scopee it out and blow out and vac it

im going to change the oil and hope it comes out there too

its my daily drivr and egar to get it fixed asap but at the same time have patience to not fcuk it up again

thans guys for ur inpput its has helped out alot

when this is over beers all around haha

im going to change the oil and hope it comes out there too...

Dude... don't touch it. Get it towed to a qualified mechanic!

Seriously... if it comes out with the oil, it's waaaaay too late.

Haha man do you decide 'hmm today i gotta work on the car better drink that carton before i get started' or what?

how do you manage to break ceramic off plugs when changing them? I just can't see how you can do it unless things are getting really crazy when you're under the bonnet

hahahaha +1

got any more news on it mate... sorry 2 hear aye :down:

its half full, get back to work...drinking.

we were on our 2nd case at that stage - when i woke up the next day i was so suprised i didnt fuck up the cross hatching hahaha

breaking the ceramic part off a spark plug is probably the most common problem with noobs playing with engines. if you dont have the proper tool to get the spark plugs in/out you can warp it in a big way and the first thing to go is the ceramic part. just using a deep socket isnt good enough unless you know how not to fuck it up. but you guys are pro's right?

    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
    • Nah, that is hella wrong. If I do a simple linear between 150°C (0.407v) and 50°C (2.98v) I get the formula Temperature = -38.8651*voltage + 165.8181 It is perfectly correct at 50 and 150, but it is as much as 20° out in the region of 110°C, because the actual data is significantly non-linear there. It is no more than 4° out down at the lowest temperatures, but is is seriously shit almost everywhere. I cannot believe that the instruction is to do a 2 point linear fit. I would say the method I used previously would have to be better.
    • When I said "wiring diagram", I meant the car's wiring diagram. You need to understand how and when 12V appears on certain wires/terminals, when 0V is allowed to appear on certain wires/terminals (which is the difference between supply side switching, and earth side switching), for the way that the car is supposed to work without the immobiliser. Then you start looking for those voltages in the appropriate places at the appropriate times (ie, relay terminals, ECU terminals, fuel pump terminals, at different ignition switch positions, and at times such as "immediately after switching to ON" and "say, 5-10s after switching to ON". You will find that you are not getting what you need when and where you need it, and because you understand what you need and when, from working through the wiring diagram, you can then likely work out why you're not getting it. And that will lead you to the mess that has been made of the associated wires around the immobiliser. But seriously, there is no way that we will be able to find or lead you to the fault from here. You will have to do it at the car, because it will be something f**ked up, and there are a near infinite number of ways for it to be f**ked up. The wiring diagram will give you wire colours and pin numbers and so you can do continuity testing and voltage/time probing and start to work out what is right and what is wrong. I can only close my eyes and imagine a rat's nest of wiring under the dash. You can actually see and touch it.
    • So I found this: https://www.efihardware.com/temperature-sensor-voltage-calculator I didn't know what the pullup resistor is. So I thought if I used my table of known values I could estimate it by putting a value into the pullup resistor, and this should line up with the voltages I had measured. Eventually I got this table out of it by using 210ohms as the pullup resistor. 180C 0.232V - Predicted 175C 0.254V - Predicted 170C 0.278V - Predicted 165C 0.305V - Predicted 160C 0.336V - Predicted 155C 0.369V - Predicted 150C 0.407V - Predicted 145C 0.448V - Predicted 140C 0.494V - Predicted 135C 0.545V - Predicted 130C 0.603V - Predicted 125C 0.668V - Predicted 120C 0.740V - Predicted 115C 0.817V - Predicted 110C 0.914V - Predicted 105C 1.023V - Predicted 100C 1.15V 90C 1.42V - Predicted 85C 1.59V 80C 1.74V 75C 1.94V 70C 2.10V 65C 2.33V 60C 2.56V 58C 2.68V 57C 2.70V 56C 2.74V 55C 2.78V 54C 2.80V 50C 2.98V 49C 3.06V 47C 3.18V 45C 3.23V 43C 3.36V 40C 3.51V 37C 3.67V 35C 3.75V 30C 4.00V As before, the formula in HPTuners is here: https://www.hptuners.com/documentation/files/VCM-Scanner/Content/vcm_scanner/defining_a_transform.htm?Highlight=defining a transform Specifically: In my case I used 50C and 150C, given the sensor is supposedly for that. Input 1 = 2.98V Output 1 = 50C Input 2 = 0.407V Output 2 = 150C (0.407-2.98) / (150-50) -2.573/100 = -0.02573 2.98/-0.02573 + 47.045 = 50 So the corresponding formula should be: (Input / -0.02573) + 47.045 = Output.   If someone can confirm my math it'd be great. Supposedly you can pick any two pairs of the data to make this formula.
