Hello, had my car tuned on 98  and E85 (470hp 19psi) and want some advise on spark plugs. I currently have BCPR6ES gapped down to 0.6mm  using splitfire coils. This setup has no issue with missfire at full throttle on both fuels. But low load has abit of missfire on E85 and even more on 98 which I believe is due to the gap size. Can anyone confirm and advise on a better spark plug combination of any?

 

Cheers

At 470hp you shouldn’t be gapping them at all. Could change the plug to R5671A-8. There a ngk race plug that I run, 28psi on 98 with splitfire coils no problems. The plug your using did cause me a misfire up around the 22-25psi but once changed it’s all good.

Do you have a wideband? I wouldn't be surprised if it's a misfire due to a lean condition.

At 1.3bar of boost, 0.6mm gap and Splitfires are a walk in the park. You could run 0.8mm gap and still be fine.

Denso IK01-24 or NGK R7434-8.

best plugs out there and a lot cheaper than a new set of coils. fine tip iridium.

I've had a set for 2 years in an 780hp rb26 and they're still perfect.

Was curious how much the NGK racing plugs were, I think i may hold off on purchsae

They definitely are, but it's really only cost effective bundling with other stuff you order. I run the R7436-8 (53mm old JIS length like bcpr) as it is actually the correct length plug for RB26, not the R7434-8 (50.5mm ISO length like bkr) which is shorter. There's 2.5mm difference in height between them and the old JIS length fits a little better into your coilpacks. Sometimes it's an issue, sometimes not, but the 26 is supposed to have the 53mm length FYI. Fwiw though yeah the R7434/36 is the best plug out there - lowered iridium centre electrode and platinum ground electrode. But at around $50 per unit they'd wanna be...

I've attached the NGK race catalogue for the complete range available, as it's totally separate to the normal NGK site catalogue.

That said, the Op RB25 shouldn't require NGK race plugs though, or a heat range of colder than a 6 or 7 as you don't want be colder than you need to be. Gaps around 0.8mm should be fine too, so maybe 0.6mm is actually a bit small creating a weak spark. Maybe the plugs are just fouled up causing an occasional misfire ?

0.6mm does seems a bit on the small side no ?

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Kapr · Posted

      Yeah i found that alot of parts can be wrong or "very" hard to get the real right one. I already bought some brakes years ago on me "old" GT calipers and they were wrong too 😄  I told them too. Even send them pictures...but they said "EBC catalogue has them on my car... So i dont know what their answer will be. I call monday them and let them know that they are really not on my car. If they were they would be already on a car...

      Welcome to Skyline ownership. Yes, it is entirely possible parts websites get things wrong. There's a whole world of inaccuracies out there when it comes to R34 stuff (and probably 33 and 32). Lots of things that are 'just bolt on, entirely interchangable' aren't. Even between S1 and S2 R34's. Yes they have a GTT item supposedly being 296mm. This is incorrect. I would call whoever you got them from and return them and let them know the GTT actually uses 310mm rotors. Depending on where you got them from your experience and success will obviously vary.

      Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?

      Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
