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:

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
