Yeah -- Know about practicality...............Pity you live so far away from me, you could do mine next time, I can't get even close to that 1/2 hour.   Jeeeeszuss, that would be worth watching.

30 mins for R33, never done an 32 before. Imagine it couldn't be too much different.

Would u believe that there are guys in these forums that actually do it way quicker than that!!!

5uck!! like to see how many scratches they put on their car!!! :wassup:

Yeah, if you lived closer, be a pleasure!!, and we'd take our time about it too!

I've since confirmed that my Platinums should still get close to 100000km's on a turbo car, with few mods....ace!!

I am running boch 4's and had a bit of a miss when on the gas.

Just upgradded to splitfire coils and the miss is less by a long shot but is still there.

WIll probs get som BCPR6EIX-11 plugs and I'll let you all know how it goes.

Are boch 4's more of wank feature or r they resonable?

RedDrifter - i wonder if there was a problem with spark plugs and no need to go to splitfires in the first place.

Yeah I am thinking the same but its a bit late now to worry about it.

Well I guess my ignition system is alot stronger now.

I have 6 in it now, had it since i bought it but recently i found out nissan recommends 5 for the series 1 r32 and 6 for the rest.

i think that could be reason for not starting up properly when cold as few guys had a very similar problem with colder spark plug.

i might ger some coppers to see how it goes with different heat range.

I just installed iridium BKR7EIx11 last night. This is with the standard 1.1mm gap which maybe ok with low boosted cars but not high boosted cars. Now, i have a slight miss in the midrange when my boost is wound upto 20psi. Reading thru the net, high boosted cars require a smaller gap, hence the turbo blowing the flame out with a large gap. Now also reading you can gap iridium just be careful with that iridium tip. Make sure you dont hurt it with the feeler guage.

So im going to pull them out tonight and gap them down to .95 or 1.0.

hey robbo almost right. you don't need a smaller gap to run more boost, what you really need is a stronger spark, eg better coils or a new ignition system :) Gapping the plugs down to .8 or similar is the easy solution but you will probably lose power

Ive got Spitfires coils allready. I reckon 1.0mm gap will be perfect.

There's no "better" or "worse" in heat ranges. The heat range the manufacturer says is worked out by the combustion dynamics of the standard engine. Generally speaking the closer the insulation comes to the end of the centre electrode the cooler the plug. That is because the amount of metal protruding without being in contact with material which can dissipate the heat is less. A couple of simple examples as to why heat ranges may be changed with advantage would be in,say, a worn engine, burning some oil and running on lower compression, may tend to oil up plugs and misfire. A hotter plug would burn off the oil and not misfire. An engine with ,say, greater boost or compression,may tend to 'pre-ignite' fuel producing 'running - on' or 'knocking', because the centre electrode glows red hot and ignites the fuel prematutely. A cooler plug would fix it. Whilst that is unlikely with modern Engine Management systems, the measures to fix it [mods to fuel,mixture,timing,etc] damp down performance. Prob the only real way with a Modified engine, is a supply of different plugs and a dyno THERE"S A HAPPY THOUGHT.

BK type plugs (ISO) are too short, you need BCP plugs. BK plugs are ISO standard which is shorter than the Japanese standard BCP type plugs.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
