Hey everyone,

I have an r32 gtst with a stock RB20DET, was looking into spark plugs all around apparently you need these iridium ones that are 22 bux a pop. I chucked these in (3330) BCPR7ES (NGK code) and they work wonders!!! There only 4 bucks a plug at autobahn or sca. I did this over 2 months ago and coilpacks are 100% no damage to engine at all!! Runs fkn awesome! Save yourself $100 when servicing ;-) should work in 33s as well

Hope this helps.

Ryan

you aren't the first person to discover copper plugs being cheaper than iridiums. i was running the heat range 6 plugs of the ones you mentioned (BCPR6ES) 6 years ago when i had my 33 gts-t. the heat range 6 plugs are better for people with minimal mods and are using the car for everyday driving as the colder heat range 7 plugs you are using are a little bit more prone to fouling.

the only downside is that they need to be changed more often than the iridiums, which does negate some of the savings.

NGK BKR6EYA in my 33.

$4.50 each.

Changing plugs is bonding with your beast.

When I bought the car it had in it - Autolite Double Platinum APP3924 plugs which are supposed to last 100,000 miles (160,000kms)

The guy I bought the car from reckoned you should change them every 80,000kms.

They started missfiring at idle after they had done less than 20,000kms.

Changed to NGK coppers, missfire gone, just put in my 2nd set after 10,000kms (no problems, only changed cause they had done 10,000).

No worries. :thumbsup:

    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
