I remember reading some where that for approx every 75hp increase you should go one rating cooler for the plugs.

The std RB20DET plugs have a heat code of 5.

I am running 1 bar of boost fmic exhaust ebc etc.. and are using heat code of 6.

Whatsisname is making almost 240rwkw and has just changed to heat code of 7.

I'm actually running '8' at the moment (I changed them for a track day, and found one of my '6' seemed to be damaged around the base of the ceramic).

Now for the question - will running too cold in the plug cause the engine to run too hot?

NGK Idirdums for the RB20DET part code is bcpr6eix or -11

without the -11 its pregapped to 0.8m

I just put some of them on & man did the car feel like a new car.

When you purchase them make sure u dont buy it no more then $18.50 since rrp are $18.50 as advertised on zoom & other car mags.

Spoke to Ben @ NGK, he advised that the plug should not affect the engine temp. So it seems I need to talk to the radiator man.

BTW, I'm normally running PFR6B-11. NGK make a PFR6B, gapped to 0.7 - 0.8, and a PFR7B, gapped to 0.8(?).

I use NGK Coppers 6 heat..

Hrmm Not the best ok if you don't want to stuff the good plats due to running rich.

I get a slight rough idle from them.. Slap in the Plats and a perfect idle.

They are also starting to get hard to start first thing in the morning. New plugs.. I guess. they have been in there for a while now.

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
