Hi everyone

About to replace spark plugs on R34 GTR.

Car is pretty much stock so was just looking to replace with the stock plugs (I.e. NGK PFR6A-11) but also came across Bosch (8153-6).

Anyone here ever run the Bosch 8153-6 plugs as they are about half the cost of the NGK's?

Thanks

If they are listed as a direct replacement then they will be fine. Should be a reference chart on the web somewhere that will tell you.

Yep, try this one:

Says Bosch equivalent is FR8DCX

See line 1257

That's all that's in mine Chris, I plan to just swap them out every service or 2 given how cheap and easy to get they are.

No misfire issues with spitfires and those plugs at 330or so rwkw.

For a street car they'll be fine.

Strange it comes up with FR8DCX. This was the Bosch catalogue page at Supercheap Auto. post-91000-14605255392572_thumb.jpgpost-91000-14605255571854_thumb.jpg

The package for 8153-6 also shows FR6KPP33X+

Not interested in going copper plugs but thanks.

For me it's coppers every time.

I bought mine from here, about $3.00 a shot. Add some filters to the order to reach $50 and it's free delivery.

But whatever plug you choose, check the protrusion from the head. Give the spring in the coil pack a bit of a tug to make sure it contacts the conductor.

ISO dimension plugs are a bit shorter than "normal".

Hmmm sounds like the coppers are the way to go. Maybe I'll be a convert. Just out of interest, should I just stick with the stock plug gap of 1.1 and heat range of 6? Car is fairly stock with cat back, boost restrictor removed (running 1 bar) and arc induction box.

I was using 7's but fouled a set after only a few k. Probably due to letting the car idle too long with the ac on during the summer. I've recently been running 6's and changing to 7's when tracking. I'll go back to 7's and see what happens. CBF changing plugs all the time.

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
