went to autobarn to get prices as im thinking about changing plugs. at the moment there are iridiums in there, but i thought maybe with all the dramas i had tuning it and it pinging bad, i should replace them.
wat u guys think? also, autobarn guy said gt40p's only take iridiums but at $19 each need to find cheaper somewhere, any thoughts? also, having a slight problem with idle - just hunts a bit and occasionally stalls in D and R. when in D i've noticed sometimes when i put the foot down a bit, revs get up but car doesn't seem to go!? is that a sign of low oil in the trans? and do i need a stally? thanks a lot! |

They specify irridiums as the standard replacement but you can just use the normal NGK's which cost around $3ea (Part number BPR5EFS or BPR6EFS for more modified engines), IMO they are just as good, you just have to change them more often.

guys, getting the new gears done soon and need to know if i have to get the unichip tuned for the gears?
and also, where can i get the speedo recalibrated. im still running 15'' wheels so i suspect the speedo while be a fair wack out. thanks |

No you don't need to get the unichip re-tuned for changes in diff gears. There are several speedo adjustment devices, by far the cheapest is the DIY kit from Jaycar electronics, otherwise any diff place should be able to provide you one.
