I've read about all the people using copper spark plugs on the rb25 engines, and am tossing up whether to do the same with the gtr engine. If so what are the part numbers on the plugs??

At the moment there are platinum plugs which look pretty rooted. Car is running 1bar and exhaust mods.

copper platinum, WHATEVER they are, it makes no difference to performance! Do a search and you will find sh1tloads of threads on this topic! Only thing is coppers dont last as long! But anyhow, I know I'd rather use coppers, coz if u are going to pull plugs out every 10 - 20000K to clean them (as you do with the platimuns), then you might as well change them! If your not using coppers, then your wasting your money!

yep, used to have coppers in my engine. but recently went back to iridiums.

10,000 change for coppers is a bit high, i found they started to go to shit after about 3500->4500 klms.

part numbers are:

NGK-R BKR7E, BKR8E, or BKR9E

cost is usually just under $4ea, repco etc should be able to order them from ngk melbourne for you.

      3D printing fun

      By Sean'O · Posted

      Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench

      Parts required for 4:11 diff gears in an R34 GTR Vspec (A-LSD)

      It's good, but not as good as some people make it out to be on social media. Yes, you can feel the torque come in earlier, yes, it does make the car feel more lively below 4000rpm, and yes, it does feel more responsive, but it's not this 'unicorn' mod.  Everyday driving? Below 100km/h on Australian roads, it's worth it. At 110km in 6th gear mine will sit on about 2860rpm. Doing a Motorkhana or a small circuit? Yes, it's worth it. Doing Texas style speed runs? Prob not. Do you use the gears more? Yes and No. Doing 60/70km on most roads, I'm using the gears just like any other Getrag. 80km and above, you use 5th and 6th more often. Absolutely no issues driving with the 33 A-LSD. Didn't change the front diff, only changed the C&P wheel. Some people say to upgrade to a Quaife etc, but i've had no issue with torque steer or having it wander all over the road. The one thing that no-one really addresses is the issue of the Speedo being out. It's either use a speedo corrector, find a 33 gearbox speed sensor, or use an aftermarket display with GPS speedo.
