[JAP-S2K]

Either your talking about a alarm switch or the door light switch. Either case, not to worry.

[sambalam]

lol wen i first got mine, pulled up at the servo and realised i couldnt find where the fuel lid release switch is. had to open the boot and read thru the owner's manual (since theres no glove box to put it in) :P

[ludecrs]

[Ferrari]

[Sampson]

haha i had a good read of these forums before i purchased my s2k so the secret compartment was no longer a secret.. no one mentioned anything about the fuel lid switch though!!

[kairi_k]

just curious where is the fuel lid switch hidden?

[acurabot]

congratulations there man :thumbsup: im sure you're gona take good care of it ! LOL i remember the day i took my DC5 home, i topped it with BP Ultimate and even tried sleeping in it thou that was fail haha :D

[9000RPM]

just curious where is the fuel lid switch hidden?

its in the driver's side door jam. i gave 3 of my mates 5 minutes to search my entire car for the switch and they never found it lol. it looks like a plain rubber stopper.

@ acurabot: then try sleeping in a s2k... epic fail :P

[brendan1990]

thanks guys, ok now umm this is a bit embarassing but that silver switch was just a little silver nipple type thing, i only saw it in the dark when i first got the car but didnt pay to much attention, i really was hoping for an ejector seat though, anyway i put it on a hoist after work tonight and underneath the car is very tidy for a car with 140,000 k's i was quite happy, had also been fitted with new bushes recently by the looks of it, also i used some upper engine cleaner to clean the valves so im slowly making little adjustments here n there, and was thing aboutputting some performance spark plugs in it, anyone have any suggestions to which spark plugs are better than others, and where they can be purchased?

[JAP-S2K]

NGK Iridium or Denso Iridium. I run Denso IK22 for an sr20det. Similar plug, but much easier to find. Any spare part place will stock these.

Standard are NGK Platinum NGK PFR7G-11S

NGK Iridium NGK IFR7G-11KS

Denso Iridium IK24

Some claim that Denso plugs have failed, and that ends break off and destroy motors. I've been running them for years and never had an issue. Yet my mates S2K lunched a motor after an NGK Iridium plug failed. So i guess it can happen to any plug, make sure you run the correct plug, check that they are gapped correctly, (even though they are apperently all pre-gapped) it doesn't hurt to check. You can run a different temp plug if required, however under normal circumstances the standard temp of plugs are fine.

Congrats on the buy mate... you will love it!

After my experience in my car, I'd pass lol.

ok, will places like repco, autobahn. and supercheap have these? if so ill go check them out tonight.
Do you notice any performance difference, or is there an actual performance different or does it just help the engine run better?
Thanks for the info also.

[JAP-S2K]

Yeah they should do, I've bought them from Repco and Autobahn plenty of times.

[brendan1990]

hey i was talking to one of the mechanics i work with. and he has this book that has an index ffferent spark plug does, but basically why im telling you this is because this particular book says the s2000 should already come standard with platinum spark plugs....any thoughts?

[JAP-S2K]

Yeah that's correct, that's i posted 'standard' are platinum. Next step from there is Iridium. Much of a muchness, the Iridium seem to go the distance a little better than the Platinum.

[doma]

how much?

[jbird]

how much?

$19.67

[sae]

Congrats on the purchase man!
