Its time to change my plugs, and currently i've got a set of NGK BCP6ES-11 in there i think gapped to 0.8 with no probs. Now went to Repco for another set and there told me to get the PFR5G-11 which there don't stock the BCP. On the NGK website the PFR5G-11 are also rocommended. Are these two plugs equivalent to each other? I know one is resistor type and one is not, which ones better?

So anyone used this plugs before and wat are ur opinions?

thanks :D

i just picked up some BCP6ES's from supercheap too.. seemed repco only stocked the iridium/platium variants, and didnt want to order the copper ones for me..

was even more fun for finding plugs for my mates wrx... repco didnt want to know about it, ended up finding some "bosch super 4" plugs from supercheap... look decent (they have 4 prongs i guess.. what ever the bit that bends over the top of the tip is anyway :rofl: ), but havent installed them yet, so no word on performance

I went into Repco on the weekend and they recommended NGK BKR6E which are gapped to 0.8mm.

I dunno if they are any good as they are not installed yet, but i hope they fix my misfire...ever since the SAUWA cruise my 'line misfires at anything over 3500rpm...even after turning down the boost :P

If you skyline is misfire over 3500rpm, do a search on the topic of misfire.

seems it is often the case that the coil packs start sparkin were they shouldnt be.

If you rip out the coil packs you should see a light powdery residue just above the rubber cups which is caused by the smallest of cracks. Just tape it up with insulation tape.

as for spark plugs, mine came with iridium NGK bcpr5IX-11

And the reason being to resist :talk2hand the resistor? lol

Oh yea found the BCP6ES-11 at $uper Cheap.

It has actually been known for Supercheap to stock car parts.

They are cheap there. Don't muck about with people telling you to use other wise the NGK BCP6ES-11 for the RB25 are the go and cheap as well.

P.S. The NGK BCP6ES (without the -11) come pre gapped at 0.8 :D

thanx for the replies guys. looks like i'm gonna stick to the BCP6ES and still b gapping it to 0.8

ta  :stupid:

at 0.8 you will loose power but keep the spark going....top revs will feel a bit flat

With biger gap you will burn better but sparkies won't last as long.....

So if you have a bit of money get iridium ones and go for 11

      Welcome. Dont let anyone dissuade you from your dreams. If you want a gtr, keep sabing and you will eventually get one. I feel like if I had have bought stocks, those companies would have gone bust and I would have lost my money.  There's a gamble in everything we buy. I've had good times and bad. But... I've also met my absolute best friend through this network and can't imagine life without them(more like a brother). Keep in mind, some specific mods will change as technology gets better. If you feel like general chat, there's always the wasteland.....

      Saw this abandoned Honda Fit in a carpark that was getting repaved... they just 'cut around it' and continued with the job! There's a number of reasons why the car could have been abandoned, but as for the construction company, legally they don't have permission to move the car from the owner (who has moved on and can't be contacted) so all they can do it just leave it there with enough space around it so it won't get damaged.

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
