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.

    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
    • In my head it does make sense to be a fuel problem since that is what I touched when cleaning the system. When I was testing with the fuel pressure gauge, the pressure was constantly 2.5 bar with the FPR vacuum removed. When stalling, the pressure was going up to 3.0 bar (which is how it should be on ignition).
    • ECUtalk pages don't mention they support the ABS computer (consult port has more than one CAN), so you might just need a different scan tool. But, I would expect ABS is a different light to the brake warning/handbrake light, do you see an ABS light come on for a few seconds when you turn the key from ACC to IGN? But since you said: I'd have a look at the ABS sensors in the rear hubs to make sure they are not damaged, disconnected etc.
    • OK, if it idles at 1000+ with the AAC, its not an idle airflow problem. The cold start valve just gives extra air when the engine is cold, but you have enough air without it to idle at 1000. I think you are back to a fuel problem, sorry. Can you see the fuel pressure staying constant or does it drop as the revs drop to a stall?
