:bs!:

I dunno about 30 mins.

Maybe if your a frigging machine and have ALL the tools pre-setup

I'd prefer to take my time and do it properly.

I reckon an hour is fair. With a beer in the middle lol!

I can show someone if they BYO tools, i aint got many ATM.

Oh, and you supply plugs too :aroused:

1 slave labour comin up

I agree 1 hour for a half decent job, maybe the 32 / 33's are a bit quicker? 34 has strut bar and engine shroud in the way as well as everything else...Bov, Plenum [which may involve ic piping removal], rocker cover 8-10 allen key bolts from memory...plus ALL of the individual coil packs...4 bolts each!

My first go took me approx 2 hours, with the 2nd attempt maybe an hour - except I was cleaning everything while I was doing the plugs...if you only change the plugs then probably an hour on a good day - try it in 40 degree heat /wipes brow

30 minutes on an r33... tell him hes dreaming!

50minutes to 1 hour is more like it... but you would be working at a steady/fast pace..

i can do my 32 in half an hour... there aint much difference bw that and a 33...

u dont have to remove everything u simply undo one end and move it out the way.

MAX time 45mins... and my 32 also has a strut bar.... plenum doesnt move... piping undo it at the plenum end and undo ONE end of the hose on the BOV.... undo the 2 bolts that bolt that bit of pipe to the engine and lift it up.

undo the screws on the rocker cover and then undo the bolts on the ignition packs and lift em out... undo the sparks and rreplace... bolt everything back in and voila!

ill time ya tonight inark

btw what beer you like?

[Guest Robo's]

I done mine last night , at least an hour at a nice easy pace, you can do it quicker for sure. But i regapped them, cleaned the coil connectors etc. Also, it wise to take off the intercooler pipe too. I didnt do it first and i put the number 4 plug in angled. Luckily it hasnt done any damage.

[inark]

lol hmmmmm i normally crumble under pressure

beer? all beer is good but DB Super Dry is better Dunno if u can get it newhere other than the dingley safeway

[dAVE]

if anyone can do it in 30mins, and do a proper job then i will give u half a slab.. has to be properly timed.

It usually takes me a bit over an hour... thats getting the tools out, undoing everything, removing plugs.. having a look at the old ones and numbering and dating them, then gap the new ones and put them. Do everything up... and presto...

Add another 5 or 10 mins if i put my tools away, but im too lazy after that to bother and normally do that a few days later

[inark]

lmao ur timing from when i get the tools out and put them back!?

lol man im talking from the time i start taking things to bits.... gapping should be done before hand but i normally dont do it cause i dont trust myself to do it properly... i did it once but never did it again incase i stuffed them.

only tools u really need are:

10mm ratchet and ext bar - undoing the bolts that hold the piping to the block

8mm socket - losening the hose straps on the piping and those bolts that hold that grey box onto the rocker cover.

alan key - removing rocker cover

16mm spark plug socket with a 1/2inch drive ratchet and long ext bar - for removing the sparkies

12mm socket - for the bolts that hold the coil packs to the block...

pretty sure thats it.

[NismoR34]

Are you sure you're the best person for the job Ni?

I mean considering what happened with your last set of plugs

? ? ?

Nah, you'll be fine im sure...
