What spark plugs should I use for My gtr 32

Current mods:

Running 1 bar boost

Power FC

Spitfire Coil packs

I'm currently using NGK R part No: BCPR6E-11

I'm getting an occasional miss at about the 3000-4000 it doesn't do it all the time just once in a while. It doesn't miss when I'm booting it tho.

It doesn't happen all the time.

I've checked the current spark plugs and the tip is white.

Any one have the part no for the recommended plugs I should use?

Would the spark plugs cause the occasional miss? If not then what can it be. I have notice injector 3 is abit moist (sweaty). Apart for that everything looks good.

The car was Dynoed at Amberley Autos. Drove out good then after a week or so I noticed this occasional miss thing.

Thanks in Advance

Regards Phu

I just had my car serviced, and after that it was missing at about 1 bar boost. So i took it a different place, and they checked my plugs.

The ones that were in it were the right ones, but they were not performing right. They changed the gap distance to 0.8mm. Usually this is 1 - 1.1mm.

This solved my problems...happy boost out to 1.5bar.

my mods are similar to yours. most boosted cars here go 1 heat range colder (7) and re-gap or pre-gapped to 0.8

BKR7E's pre-gapped to 0.8 was recommended to me (even at 10psi) and its never misfired since, even at 1bar which i run daily, and thats the plugs ive been using ever since. theres another post here too about the part number for the type of plug (BCPR7E's?) also gapped to 0.8... gotta try em one day.

btw they are both copper type plugs

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
