i'll also just say, I like your attitude, seriously. You were prepared to have a go at it...ok, f*ked it up, but, acknowledged your mistake and have learnt something in the process. As long as no major damage caused, not a bad result at all. Although, I you're seriously concerned bits of ceramic fell in the cylinder and you haven't run the car yet, pull out the plug and use a vacuum hard up against the hole, vacuum out any bits of insulator in there.

thanks, i already vacummed it after i pulled it out, there was some on the sides

im almost sure i got most of it out, maybe a couple of little pieces might of fell in. Would it just burn out when the oil warms up? Wont cause the engine to seize up or anything or reduce performance?

it's ceramic, it won't burn. Nothing good will come of having it in the cylinder. But, any household vacuum cleaner should be strong enough to pull bits out if you put it hard up against the open spark plug hole.

i vacummed it after i took it off and ran it through the hole too. Hopefully it wont do much damage. RB25de neo is not worth much anyway, if anything happens ill just put a rb25det, ive been meaning to do it for a while just saving up some cash. If it does f**k up, can i still sell the bottom end? like which part of the motor will f**k up, the head?

Pics of rb20 coilpack arrangement.

Notice how i had to cut the edge of the coilpack 2 and 3 with a angle grinder so they can sit in flat? One bolt on each hole mate...had to cut 4/6 of the coilpacks

Okay and where does the loom an igniter plug in?

to the stock rb20 clips. So the igniter has 2 large clips plugging into it, one from the loom the other is a clip from the firewall, the loom also has a grounding cable and another cable clip with 3 wires running into it which clips in to another clip on the firewall

Does this mean your sparkplug sale is off?? was really interested in buying dropped and over tightened spark plugs!!!!

More seriously, use a vacuum cleaner, some tape, and a 300mm of that clear 10mm plastic hose. Tape hose to vacuum cleaner hose and push through the spark plug hole and work it around while vacuuming. Not a guarantee, but its better than 'fingers crossed'.

    • Evening, wanted to pop in and finally register to say hi to everyone here on SAU!   It's been a while since I've been active on a forum, but back in the day I used to be relatively active on ClubLexus and other hobby-related forums. I'm glad to see SAU is still around, since with the advent of Facebook and Discord it seems forums aren't what they once were. As a recent new owner of an S1 260RS Stagea, I've found so many older guides and helpful tips from SAU that I figured I needed to join and say a grave thank you. My recent acquisition has only become legal in the US for the past year, and knowing that similar car enthusiasts from across the pond have already figured out the kinks and tricks to get these 25+ year old cars running well. I look forward to diving into more of the SAU forums as well as hopefully contribute some info myself for future posterity.   As a pic tax, here is one of the few good photos I have of my Stagea. I hope to get way more in the future!    
    • Is this where I say "Hey man my airbox cost me horsepower in my Naturally Aspirated Engine"? (I know you need them for legality in NSW)
    • 1.5mm alloy folded up, it will need a tweek, as the angled bend only got to around 45° as that was the max that the break press would get with the other bends, and I needed a fair bit more, but and the alloy is easy to bend too my will by hand once I trim the lower section out I'll Dremel out and form the angle and mounting point on the lower section when time permits  As for the lid, I'm looking at going a "cap", instead of a flat lid to hide the fixtures a bit
    • I got sick of thinking about batteries so just kept buying chargers. I've got a ctek (racecar), a "noco" thing from supercheap (tow car with 2 batteries), and an old "SupaCharge" branded lead acid thing (farm ute/mower) and will need 1 more when the Silvia gets a battery again (if the 86 stays).  I always make sure the charger itself is in free space/away from car etc, just to be sure.
