yep the iridiums was the one very expensive, i used to own r34 and getting those will cost me 120++ but now i drive a s14a so i guess it still around 80-90 may be? werent it is still expensive? any other option or recommendation where can i get em?

Hey mate

If you're usuing copper they're only 4.50 each, 6 is around $30

If you change them every 20000 kms or 3 months it's really not that much, if you're having issues with them try gapping them to .8 if you're not alreadyndoing that

Cheers for that bro, but I am little fussy about my car? Is copper better than ngk? I won't mind go for that if they have the same quality!

ngk is the brand. they made coppers, platinums and iridiums. coppers give the best spark of all but they dont last as long as platinums and iridiums.

for a sr20 go buy a set of coppers, should be less than $20

You don't bother wasting money on iridiums or platinums on a modified import. Put coppers in and change them a few times a year. Will be cheaper overall and the car will run better with constantly having fresh plugs in there (as opposed to fouled up platinums/iridums).

use bcpr6es

bkr6e if you want v grooves

joel, it depends on the condition of your coilpacks mainly but if they're standard you'll probably have to gap them down to avoid spark blowing out. if you dont wanna experiment too much just gap them to .8 and see how they go.

They will work on both R33 GTS-T and R32 GT-R? Same plugs?

    • Check the injectors flow evenly, and are actually flowing what you and the ECU think they should be flowing. If it's starting up on starter fluid, you have a fuel issue. Is it possible under cranking your fuel pump is turning off?   The harness you replaced, is that the whole engine harness? Do yourself a test, and drop the old harness on and plug it into the Z32 ECU. It's possible they've wired things different. From memory S1 to S2 is different in RB25 and you may have a wrong loom
    • I haven’t pulled the injectors to watch them spray yet but they are clicking from the cas and all of the spark plugs are wet with fuel. I’ve thought the cylinders were being flooded from the beginning and was hoping fuel pressure would fix it. Tonight I am going to pull the rail and watch the injectors spray. Don’t know how to test/diagnose if the plugs are firing in correct sequence but that should be a timing thing and as far as timing goes my car still has the half moon for the cas can only install it 1 way. And my mechanical timing is 100% correct I posted photos above. Confirmed with the balancer on and off. 
    • I checked spark on all cylinders and they all visually have spark with the plug pulled and grounded, but plug 1 is the only one that fouled. This was a running swap that blew up and was rebuilt by a machine shop, put a new wiring specialties harness and did all gaskets, studs, and bolts while it was out.  compression is 135-150 across all cylinders. Aside from that from my understanding with the z32 ecu and maf the car should start regardless. The wiring for TPS and the dual 02 sensor/ dual knock sensor stuff shouldn’t actually stop the car from starting or even running well, (just slightly rich)  they just give fault codes. Car supposedly is supposed to start as long as you have z32 afm and ecu with the nistune base map and that’s info coming from a well known and trusted tuner who does a lot with SR/RB (Rsenthalpy). After more trouble shooting today where I’m at right now is that the cas is sending signal to the injectors they click while spinning the rotor, Fuel pressure is now set at 43psi, all cylinders have good compression and all of the plugs looked great (just wet with fuel) except for cylinder 1 which was very black (cylinder 1 has 150psi compression). all of the coils generate spark if pulled out and grounded out on the head. On the fuel pump car just pops into the exhaust. On starting fluid car will fire off. Hard to tell if all cylinders are firing off but definitley a couple. sounds like all of them but it’s only for 3-5 seconds hard to tell. 
    • Final update!!! Got the front bar fitted and sprayed and all sorted now. My cutouts worked great and the indicators aren’t just falling off. 😂
