Hey, just changed the spark plugs on my r33 gtst with some NGK BCPR7ES ($4.20 from repco) as suggest in another thread, and when I did this the old plugs I found in there were some HKS ones. Checked this out on the net and they are Iridium ones and cost about $20 us.

With the new $4.20 plugs in the car drove better. Just wondering if these would perform better if I got some new HKS ones? Also where would I get these from I cant find anywhere on the net to order them (only us sites)???

Also wondering where I can order from an australia website performance parts like this and others? Have ordered stuff from www.modyourcar.com.au and they were good.

Cheers

yeah its aust. I ordered some stuff put the money in their account and got the stuff in 2 days. I also was looking for where they were located so I could estimate how long it would take but couldnt find anything.

Anyone know of any other places you can get performance parts?

croat,

1.1mm should be fine if your boost is the factory 7psi. If you go and up the boost you might find the spark character better at a gap of 0.8mm. Do NGK know if your going to boost your car over the factory level? --- No. Do they care? --- No.

there ara few cheap ($3.99) options if you dont want to pay for greddy plugs or hks ones, i used champion racing plugs c61 equiv to 8 in ngk for the melb drift event, but also avail c59, c59 being slightly colder equiv to about 8.5 in a ngk good for cars running some decent boost. another option is bkr7evx gapped to around 7mm these are used in many of the drag skylines as they give good life.

honestly though while i piss fart around changing plugs for different runs and so on. the greddy plugs in the D1*garage s14.5 which are an 8, last the longest ive seen (30k+) and lost no power even with continued drift abuse constantly on the limiter at 1.2bar+ the things have been checked but still havent been changed.

Hey guys... just read this thread and noticed a few "questions" I can help answer.

ModYourCar is a complete online service, there is no shopfront. There are many reasons for this.

When yuo buy something it is usually shipped to you directly from one of our suppliers located all over Australia.

Most items ship relatively quick but some special order items like Japanese parts can be out of stock requireing a special order. We are very flexible though and we do allow you to cancel orders if you don't want to wait a lengthy period for parts.

If you guys have any further questions please just ask!

if your car is stock of close to stock ( < 200rwkw ) I would not be using a heat range of 7

They will foul way too quick, and your car will be running like crap at the 5000rpm mark if you have higher boost and no aftermarket management of some sort.

At these power levels, stick with a heat range of 6, as they will stay cleaner longer (In my experience anyhow)

you measure the supposed 0.8mm gap with a feeler guage.

So where do i get one of these feeler guages?

Also, say you buy some plugs that are at 0.8mm, will they DEFINATELY be on 0.8mm

IE is there anyway during transit or general handling that the gapping will change?

    • Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.
    • 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?
