Ok so I've been servicing my car and the spark plug in cyl 5 wouldn't go in straight, still won't go in straight and I deserately need to be able to use the car tonight to get to my parents place. If someone is able to get a thread tapping kit or whatever to fix the threads and assist me in fixing it up it would be greatly appreciated. I can pay for your help.

Please anyone

My number is 0407891750 In Reservoir so prefferably someone in the northern suburbs or someone who doesn't

Cheers,

Michael

can you get your finger in there to see if anything is stuck to the thread?

Theres either something in there, the last plug was cross threaded, the plug your putting in has something wrong with it or your just doing it wrong.

Please tell me you screwed it in by hand the first 2 turns and didn't just use the socket from the get go for the new plugs. If you did do that then you might have a problem. Can't see thread f**king up when just removing plugs. Normally a poblem caused by putting them back in

That is the worst case scenario, if you really need the car tonight you could try forcing it back in straight and see if it seals, after all if it was Cross threaded the already needs to come of to hella coil it properly

You can try cleaning the thread with a wire brush or, what I do to clean my threads regularly is roll up a thin piece of scourer and twist it inside the thread...usually makes it looser to install new plugs. Really though, I'd ditch what you're doing or borrow a car and tackle it another time. If you rush it you may not succeed, which leaves you stranded AND with a rooted head.

I ended up changing my plans and buying a tap that collapses so that it comes through the bottom and cleans the thread u to the top. No removing the head and helicoil bullshit and no metal in the cylinder. Should get here monday, borrowed a car for the meantime.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hey. Very valuable information about pitwork, I will pay attention when buying any consumable parts 🙏 As for the carpets - I got a handful of information from nengun, from which it appears that indeed the carpets for the driver's side are OEM. They are not able to show me any pictures due to the long chain of different sales entities but after I place the order, as soon as the goods arrive at the nengun warehouse from which they will send the shipment to me they can send me photos and if my purchase differs from OEM I can immediately return it / cancel the purchase. I think I will give it a try 😉. Of course i'll let you know what's what as soon as i get them P.s. I know the topic is not relevant to the thread, but both nengun and amayama have these SICK 😍 trunk room lamps available. Do you know anyone who ordered them? I need to have one in my car
