no gap sparkplugs?

[canadian booster]

i think this was a post a while back, but i can't find it.. when i get new sparkplugs, NGK's of course, they say the gap is pre-set and not to adjust, i assume this is because most people would damage the plated tips adjusting them, i went ahead and adjusted them anyway to the right gap on my old Z..

Why did you adjust them?

[canadian booster]

because the gap wasn't the right amount as posted in all the sparkplug posts on here *lol* the gap outta the box was way too big, did i do a no no?

[300ZXttZMAN]

Well i'm trying to figure out why you didn't just get the right plugs?

[canadian booster]

i got the right ones everyone goes on and on about, but the gap didn't match

i'd give exact numbers on what the gap was, and what it should be, etc, but i did this last summer, hellifiknow what it was, i wanted to check though since i'll be doing plugs on the new Z soon

I always check the gap and set it to .044 as well, I find they are usually off slightly, though they are close enough that if someone didn't I don't forsee a huge issue for most.

Post PN and gap used

i believe they were NGK PFR5B's and i gapped 'em to 0.045

On your TT?

Should be NGK PFR6B11-11B, gapped to 0.035 for Stage 3 or so, up to 14 PSI. 0.040 would be good for stock boost.

PFR5B-11B is the OEM plug. Not terrible for stock, but if you're going to up the boost they're not adequate

My buddy got me a set of those tripple tipped spark plugs, that dont require gapping, they come standard in a model of porsche, I forget what model. but they are NGK plugs and OMG they are AMAZING, instant improvement in starting, idle, response and power, I wouldnt go any different.
These plugs are tried and true, my buddy runs him in all their shop cars, im talking huge horsepower single turbo skylines and TT skylines, as well as my friends VG32DETT, they are NGK-5509, the price he got me was bout $12 each.

I used to think $12 ea was a lot before I had a Z LoL now it's normal
