I purchased my Skyline in November and noticed that at High RPM, I'm getting some odd engine knocking. Since then, I stored it for winter and never reved past 4000 rpm. I plan on sending it off to paint now and I starting taking it apart and decided I'd look at my plugs just to see how they looked because the previous owner said they were due when I bought it.

Upon first inspection, the plugs didn't seem too fouled and the gaps weren't abnormally large. I then decided to shop for new ones using the code that was on them to get the same ones or equivalent because I figure that whoever put them there did the research too. My mistake. I was running Bosch FR6DP1X Spark plugs which have all the correct specs except the height. There are 2 types: ISO and JIS. These were ISO which are a few mm shorter than the JIS spec. Uh oh.

After realizing the plugs were wrong, I carefully observed the top of the plugs and noticed corrosion and some pitting. New spark plugs were required. So after more research, I decided that I was going to purchase the NGK 5691 which are also known as BCPR7EIX-11. Great!

Since I have the coil packs off, I figure to myself that I will take the time to test them. So I take out my trusty multimeter, set it to Ohms and check the primary coils. The spec is from 0.6 - 0.9 ohms. They were all perfect. Yes! I then proceed to taking the rubber boots off to inspect the leads. Fudgesicle. Here's what I found:

Long story short, Make sure you run JIS spec Spark plugs in your Skylines and Never trust that someone else did the research.

I do have a question, Does anyone have pics of the internals of their OEM coil packs so I can compare? I've been speaking with Paul at Performance Wise and he showed me the internals of the Yellow Jacket Coil Packs that he sells. They don't seem to have a lead at the end of the spring (I dont have any leads on Coil 2 & 4, but the rest seem to). Thanks for the help. Cheers!

    • So for the wide band is a Bosch 4.9 correct for the Link G4+ along with a Can bus? Just get the Link gear or is generic ok too? Eg here: LINK LINK DIGITAL WIDEBAND CAN MODULE WITH BOSCH 4.9 SENSOR : KYP Performance House  
    • Bit difficult to follow. Have a look below and see what the standard R32 layout was like. Note there was a restrictor in place immediately before "turbocharged pressure control solenoid" that, if removed, magically got you 1 bar boost.
    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?
