Series 2 Neo spark plugs?

Its about time to replace my plugs, the mechanic put platinum plugs in last time it was serviced and they havent lasted very long at all. Its starting to miss on idle like it did last time the plugs were on there way out. They are NGK R PFR6G-11.

I dont want to put them back in cause they cost like $25 each and they have only lasted me around 10-15,000km

What do u suggest?

im using NGK iridium ix, but if you want to go for the best of the best, do what i have done to my cars in the past, go for this:

http://www.pulstar.com/

only reason i dont have them in my car is because i didnt have 130 bucks for all 6 when i needed them. :huh:

but next month, out go the iridium and in go the pulse's.

They work just as well and they are cheaper: NGK BCPR6ES and gap them at 0.8mm if you think your coils are struggling. Also look for tracking marks where the coils might be shorting and consider insulating them with tape or a spray (search for examples).

Will the NGK BCPR6ES go in my series 2. Do they come pre gapped to 0.8mm? if not how do u do it safely?

hello

+ 1 for NGK BPR6ES I can not believe the difference they made, mind you my plugs where pretty bad!! when you go to buy them dont tell them what they are for

because they will try and sell you something else, in there book the neo engine is supposed to have 1.1 gap.

I am still trying to get more info on that space saver, I have found that the new falcons do have a space saver and the rim size is 17inch but not sure on rolling diameter.

I brought NGK iridium tip plugs off ebay for about $14 each

stupid me didnt put them at 0.8mm gap and left them at 1.1mm

they are good but i do need to set them to 0.8mm due to a slight miss mid range

If your coil packs are in good condition then 1.1mm should be fine. Unless you are running big power/boost it should be fine and more to the point desirable to run the larger gap to provide the best combustion.

The stagea was running a 1.1mm gap with splitfires and 18psi with the GT-RS and no misfires. With the 2835ProS it is only running 16psi but making a bit more power still with no issues.

i do have a set of those yellow jacket coils fitted to the car but at about 5000rpm it has a bit of hesitation for about 500rpm then pulls really hard to the redline

very odd i think

      S1 Autech 260RS Wiring Diagrams

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
