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'.

    • Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure
    • Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.
    • Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15  
    • Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.
    • 8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
