A couple weeks back, I removed the right side axle on the 1990 NISMO Nissan Skyline GT-R #500, and did some cleanup. Prior to the SoCal Nissan GT-R Invasion 2, I had to get the car back together and threw some new spark plugs in it. As long as I was there, I figured it was a good time to trace down some oil leaks, and install the divided twin turbo pipe. Stock turbocharger compressor outlet gasket x 3 per car(you only need 1 if just doing the pipe) - 14465-05U11 or A4465-05U11

I should have ordered a coil harness before I took the car apart. As usual, the coil harness cooks in the engine valley,and it was a bit crispy. Ebay app on the phone ordered a harness, but it wouldn't make it in time.

| Coil packs removed. The car had some Champion Iridium plugs in it |

| New BCPR7EIX on the left, Champion plug on the right |

| I like using T-handles on spark plugs. Keep you from putting too much torque on the plugs. |

I have the modified twin turbo pipe in my R, as well. Noticed a much smoother spool up right away.
Very much worth the $150 I paid for mine a few years ago.
Its almost silly how much better it makes the car. Minimizes or eliminates shuffle. Gains power. Its one of those no downside mods.
