hey guys

i was recommended the NGK BCP6ES spark plugs.

i rang a few auto stores and they only have NGK BCP6E which they rekon are the same plugs, but i was told to watch out to make sure its the NGK BCP6ES with the S on the end.

anyone (in perth?) know where i can get hold of them?

If i could tell you one thing it would be this. PLEASE buy the BCPR7E(S) and gap them to 0.8mm if they aren't already.

If you run more boost than stock (or intend to) you'll be much better off. They're the same thing as the plugs you mentioned but one heat range cooler. They are no more expensive.

Hey Adrian,

I found I was worse off with the 7 heat range. For a daily driver, they fouled a-lot quicker before I got my SAFC than the 6 heat range would. The standard heat range for an RB25 is 5, so 6 is one cooler. I would disagree with getting the 7's unless you got quite a few mods 200rwkw++, and stick with 6's for basic mods, and 5's if completely stock...

guys, if you've ever tried calling NGK for a recommendation, they have actually told me to sell BKR6E plugs to skyline drivers if they want a cheaper copper core option to the more expensive Platinum and Iridium tip long-life plugs (only differerence is the greater resistance to fouling)

Reason behind the "K" instead of the "CP" is that the "CP" is a projected tip type plug and NGK have discovered that the "K" recessed type plug seems to complete combustion more effectively due to the shape of the cylinder head "squish zone"....

that will add more discussion to your thread (adding to the numerous hundreds of other spark plug threads on here) Oh, and yes totally agree with the gapping and heat range advice above. Buying NGK plugs without the "-11" should give you the default 0.8mm gap.

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
