baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahaha, you're kidding right?

Nah man i was serious,

i thought it only ever served another purpose in turbo cars cos they provide spark along with the coil packs to provide boost etc.

i think you need to do a bit of research on how engines work.

Are spark plugs just used for initial startup? Or do they serve another purpose also?

For when you use your head lamps also, so if you do a lot of night driving they're going to need to be replaced more often.

Dont listen to him ^^ Thats not true!

Spark Plugs are used for engine braking, you know when you take your foot off the accelerator the car slows down, thats because the spark plugs shoot flames and sparks at the pistons causing them to slow down, which makes the engine turn slower.

Dont listen to these guys TUFF-350, the spark plugs are only used for start up and for indicators, they can be used for headlights as the are never on all the time. They turn on and off quickly, like the indicators which is why indicators flash.

Im always happy to help my fellow skyliners.

all lies.. spark plugs are just there to fill the holes they put into the head.. they don't really serve a purpose.. kida like wheels.. they only fill the gap they placed in your bodywork..

stfu you jerk

spark plugs are only on rotaries, everyone knows this

I had a chat with my uncle who is working in Nissan as a Mechanic. He reckon try tightening the valve cover, if not the seals have to be change.

As funny as all this plug humour is, just need to know which dealer your uncle works for, so I dont go there. Ever.

Valve cover bolts are not the issue, seals are not replaceable. He really should know that seeing as most newer Nissans run the VQ now. Common design issue with the rocker cover.

hahaha, you slack kents.

here you go man. have a look/read thru this, and then search for more stuff and read that too.

Lol finally someone offers the truth amongst the jokes. Thanks bro!

    • Yeah, so widen your search to any Nissan speedo first, then go wider if needed. I will say though, that there is a better than even chance that what I said first will likely come into play. They quite possibly won't come apart without damage. I tried to disassemble a stepper gauge that I wanted to repair. There was no way that needle was coming off the spindle, and I could not see how the spindle would come out of the mechanism behind. Assembled once, never to be disassembled, was my conclusion. Could be the same on the R34 cluster. Failing that - take the cluster to a workshop that specialises in automotive instrument work. There's usually at least one in every Australian city. They'll either be able to do it for you for small cost, or tell you it can't be done. It might be that "it can't be done" unless you follow some arcane procedure, including trickiness to glue it back together or something, that only experienced techs know.
    • Well, given that I, an engineer, almost never bring out the torque wrench to tighten up chassis bolts, despite fully knowing the theory, and instead rely on feel, which I happen to know is exactly how the majority of mechanics do things, should tell you the level of actual peril that exists from not achieving exactly 88 Nm of torque. How about if I just say then that 88Nm is at the lower end of the correct wheel nut torque range? Everyone knows how to tighten a wheel nut, right? And almost no-one ever brings out the torque wrench for that task
    • Don't be ridiculous. "2-3 ugga duggas or one Oof. You have to use Oof on tie rods because you can't get an ugga dugga on there." Is not helping the guy at all.
    • I have done a lot of research before posting here and on gtruk forum. couldn't find anything. I have my gauges all part except the needle itself. the needle has a extremely small hole in the center, but the shaft going to the needle is extremely small and appears to have nothing to index it either. doesn't seem strong enough to simple pry or pull without damaging something. Already tried the old spoon trick on a extra triple meter I have from a gtt, but no luck. the center cap comes off easily but the hole in the meter face plate aren't big enough to get over the needle itself. figured this would be my best place to find someone who might have actually removed theirs. wonder if there is some type of small pin press tool to push the pin in while pulling the needle base off.
    • Ok...its taking me long enough to finally do this.  Feck financial security...heart disease will get me soon enough anyway So welcome to the garage..."Clem" Belsil80 has been running a 370Z in Super TT series. So after entering with him in last years Winton 300 i figured I  need my own car. Seems SAU Vic race cars need to be yellow....{tick} Reckon with enough motor i will be able to make up for the lack of talent and stay ahead of the 370Z... but the LS powered S13 and E36s are a ways up the road Aim is to have a car that doesnt stop or turn but has a bit of shed built motor with jam...maybe some cream  First step is getting this ex drift car log booked I am keeping faithful silver car. As the road-club car gets upgrades the race car wil get the sloppy seconds
