It's a bad idea to mess with the gaps on platinums too much as it damages the coating i have heard.

It may just be that the mixtures are too rich.

Stock copper replacement are NGK BCPR6ES-11, i think they are 4 bucks ea from repco.

If you want to run .8 gap then BCPR6ES are the go.

i pulled the tube going to the boost control solenoid off my gtr. it upped the boost and ran fast except it started missing. The mag tells me to gap the plugs down to 0.8mm so i tried that but it didnt work. So i put the tube back in and it still missed. I then re gapped the plugs (brand new platinum) back up to recommended 1.1mm. but it is still missing? what is going on?  

Do i have to buy platinum plugs for a gtr or can i buy normal ones? does anyone know the spark plug part number for the normal non platinum plugs? cheers

might have popped off an intercooler hose ,might pay to check as increased boost some times does this

if you run any more than 17psi you will need the electrode to be covered by the thread of the spark plug... to stop the spark being in direct boost contact....this is why your car has a miss under boost....i had the same prob..

ngk v power racing plugs are 6 bucks each and are fine for high boost....

cheers

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
