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.

    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
