It seems quite cheap and is a Platinum.

Also it has the Japanese length as opposed to the Platinum plugs usually recommended,

I use the copper variant but possibly this is worth a try ...

What do you think?

Cheers ...

All copper plugs are cheaper than platinum. What I'm saying is that I worry about getting a cheaper "platinum" plug. They may well be fine but not last as long as the PFR

I see what you mean ... I thought of these plugs as an alternative to copper, not the PFR.

My professional tuner asked me to replace the coppers with the factory recommended PFRs to eliminate slight misfire at high revs/load. Haven't heard any downside to PFR apart from cost.

i have always used copper bcpr plugs in my rbs, never had a problem, never payed more than i needed to. why look at anything else when their is such a simple solution and no problem?

Exactly.

Fair enough .. I tried various plugs including multi ground electrode NGK plugs and they all worked.

However this BCPR6EGP plugs seemed interesting since it has the Japanese length and a very thin electrode which helps to ionize the space between the electrode gap (in layman terms makes it easier for the spark to form)

I will give them a try and report back.

GT is a professional tuner, so he will have tons of experience will all types of plugs. However, yeah, he should say why.

I was not questioning GTs experience just interested why he says Platinum plugs are not his preference.

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
