Hi,

I thought there was a sticky on spark plugs but I can't find it, I've searched and found a few threads.

Its also an interesting debate in regard to going Copper and replacing every 10K or going Platinum/Iridium.

Any advice?

Finally, which one should I be using?

A BCPR7s/BKR7s ?

R33 GTR, standard tubo's, 1 bar boost, not driven too often if that makes a difference :D

Thanks,

Gareth

EDIT: Also is Repco a good place to buy spark plugs?

I noticed that performancelub has fairly cheap Iridium/Platinum plugs

300rwkw daily driven

i use bcpr7es @ 0.8

I'm only 250rwkw so I assume the bcpr6 might be a better choice. I'm unsure how to re-gap spark plugs so would prefer to buy the right size if possible :)

Ah bullshit you searched, i know you be telling furphies ;)

Just have a read of the Forced Induction Guide Gareth, its a sticky in Forced Induction.

It has a link to "what spark plug" or something similar, plenty of info for ya there :)

You wont need to gap the plugs. 1.0 - 1.1 willl be fine

i have been using 7's in my car all the way through, 150rwkw 185rwkw, 269rwkw, 285rwkw, 311rwkw and now 323rwkw

if you buy BCPR7ES or BCPR6ES they will both be fine..... and are already gapped @ 0,8

the BCPR7ES11 are gapped to 1.1

I would use 1 heat ranger cooler ie 7's on a stock engine with no mods and look at running 2 heat ranges cooler "8's" and smaller gap if you at pushing more boost ie about 1 bar.

Pending on condition of coils the larger gap may still work fine but due to age and condition every car is different.

I read the general maintenance section, a quick check of the tutorials, and a search which brought up lots of debates about copper vs iridium.

Didn't think of the forced induction sticky :P

Besides you overrate search, I was searching for "spark plug" or similar, I didn't know what terms would bring back something useful :P

I'll just use BCPR7ES (-8 gap) then...thanks for the help (or 6ES if I can't get them).

Thanks everyone!

I think if there is no trailing dash and number (-8) then the sparkplugs are 1.1

ie. BCPR6E are 1.1 whereas BCPR6E-08 are 0.8

Ive been using BCPR6E's on my car, but ill be trying out 7's because ive noticed speckles on my sparkplugs which indicate that they are too hot.

BCPR6E are better than BCPR6ES. The 's' stands for standard tip whereas the other has a v-groove tip which they say is better.

Also, stick with coppers and change them every 10,000km.

im with hamish, ive got some BCPR7ES-11 rolling around the glove box of the daily. where as the BCPR7ES with nothing noted on the end are 0.8's.

by the by i run BCPR7ES and well under 250rwkw

my mistake, no dash number means default 0.8

Although according to their site they say 0.9

http://www.ngk.com/results_cross.asp?pid=BCPR6E

Projected Tip, JIS Height, .035" (0.9mm) Gap

More information on V-groove sparkplugs (BCPR6E no 's' at the end)

V-Power spark plugs are a patented design by NGK to improve ignitability and reduce quenching. Ignitability is improved by the V-groove cut in the center electrode parallel to the ground electrode, this directs the spark to to the edge of the center electrode thus exposing it to more of the air/fuel mixture. Quenching is reduced in much the same manner, drawing the spark to the edge of the center and ground electrodes reduces the surface area available to quench the spark. See quenching for more info.

i use NGK BKR7E in an RB26

does anyone else use these plugs

Looking on the website i posted above, the BKR7E feature the v-groove whereas the BCPR7ES does not. There doesnt seem to be a BCPR7E on their website so it looks like if you want the v-groove you need to get the BKR7E.

This assumption is all based off the ngk.com website though.

He had some kind of racing plug in there:

Anyway, I've put the BCPR7ES in now, it was a little challenging but its done now, thanks for the advice everyone.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
