in my nissan manual it tells you to set them at the same at hot, but different when cold.

I dont have a manual (I sold it on ebay for £187) but 0.3mm hot, or 0.21/0.23 cold.

I suspect it's 0.21 exhaust, 0.23 inlet, but maybe someone can confirm?

Either way, its always best to set them hot

That was from memory as well

I also added a few extra chapters to the manual. Hence the exceptional price
