depends on the state of the plugs themselves as it couldve been an easy 60k or a hard driven 60k. If you do it carefully with a good gap tool it shouldnt weaken them. My plugs dont usually stay in for too many k's so if it were me id just get new ones. depends on your application, stock or modified, boost etc...

And if the car has been running fine with the plugs at 1.1mm for 60k whats the point in gapping them down? I ran a 1.1 plug gap on my rb20 up until it was making 165rwkw with no problems. I only started to gap the plugs down once i swapped the turbo and started winding in the boost.

If it is staring to miss now but hasn't before then i would just be getting a new set of plugs.

I tend to do mine at 10k anyway as i run copper plugs and previously ran platinums swapped at 40k.

Go the new plugs if you are going to the bother of pulling the existing one's out then as it's a prick of a job becuase of the amount of stuff that has to come off to get to the plugs.

Though i did mine in 5 minutes this evening as i now have external coils :(

      some days eh? The keyless entry and interior light on/off with the key will be controlled by the Body Control Module, but I'm not certain where that is or what it looks like (you might get lucky with a search to get a part#, which could be printed on it). I'd start at the A pillar/ Under dash/kick panel on the driver's side

      It might be hit and miss, but Nissan Genuine Parts and Pitworks are not the same thing, although both are available from Nissan Dealers with Nissan Part Numbers. Nissan Genuine Parts are the OEM stuff, Pitworks are their attempt to get people back from generic parts makers

      I did end up getting it sorted, as GTSBoy said, there was a corroded connection and wire that needed to be replaced. I ended up taking out the light assembly, giving everything a good clean and re-soldered the old joints, and it came out good.

      Wow, thanks for your help guys 🙏. I really appreciate it. Thanks @Rezz, if i fail finding any new or used, full or partial set of original Stage carpets i will come back to you for sure 😉 Explenation is right there, i just missed it 🤦‍♂️. Thanks for pointing out. @soviet_merlin in the meantime, I received a reply from nengun, and i quote: "Thanks for your message and interest in Nengun. KG4900 is for the full set of floor mats, while KG4911 is only the Driver's Floor Mat. FR, RH means Front Right Hand Side. All the Full Set options are now discontinued. However, the Driver's Floor Mat options are still available according to the latest information available to us. We do not know what the differences would be, but if you only want the one mat, we can certainly see what we can find out for you". Interesting. It seems they still have some "new old stock" that Duncan mentioned 🤔. I wonder if they can provide any photos......And i also just realized that amayama have G4900 sets. I'm tempted too.
