If every thing goes to plan I'll be giving the car a full service this Tuesday.

Don't waste monies on expensive spark plugs if your doing them

Bcpr6es for $5 each. If they only have the bcpr6es-11's then gap them to 0.8mm yourself.

$100+ cheaper than iridiums which aren't needed

Interesting. Why do you say iridiums aren't needed?

Did Poologger do that? If so i'm kinda pissed be didn't want to work on my car looks mint! can't wait to see it in person.

Na it wasnt him, not actually seen him in a while. Was old mate from wk cost me a onkyo amp and a pack of cigs plus I gave him a 5k sale ;)

Im gonna be a pain and ask "why is that?"

Copper is best conductor, almost as good as gold,and less likely to overheat

Platinum and iridium don't conduct as well and can overheat. They may last twice the distance if not overheated but cost 6 times more

Copper- best performance. Shortest life $5

Platinum- ok performance. Ok life $25

Iridium- ok performance. Better life $30

There isn't that much in it really performance wise but big diff in price.

So considering I don't drive much at all (probably 10,000kms per year) I should just get platinum/copper?

Also, morning all, nice, cold and wet this morning!

Ok so my oil filter was stuck on all of my tools couldn't get it off. They were just denting it pretty bad. Desperate to beat the rain I rung C-Red as I was just around the corner from them and Mark let us borrow a tool he has to loosen it. What a top bloke, saved the day. New filter is in and the oil has been changed. Can't recommend these guys enough!

    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
    • Yeah, I would have said the same. It makes me suggest that there are other things wrong, such that the ECU is totally unhappy with the broken sensor. The only other thought here is that maybe it is shorted, which might cause a different issue to the typical "disconnected" sensor.
