i replaced my distributor cap, the distributor rotor, and spark plug wires (already did spark plugs a few months ago) because my car wouldnt start at all without a tune up.
probably run about $100 total. didnt go top of the line, either. dont know if what i bought was bad or good...but it made my car run.

Wires, rotor, & cap for $100 shipped
I just ordered a set of wires, cap, & rotor for $100 shipped from a Nissan dealership in Colorado; http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...90&catalogid=1
I would also consider internetautomart. He has a good deal on NGK wires.

I've always believed in NGK for my Nissans/Datsuns. I've used Bosch wires on an '85 Zcar and they just didn't work out for some reason.
Dealerships sell wires labelled "yakazi". I'm not sure if that's the brand or model; the dealer couldn't even tell me. They just said they're OEM.

plugs and wires = ngk
cap, rotor, oxygen sensor, fuel filter, pcv valve = nissan
if it's never been done or if u don't know if has been done in the last 60k or so, the timng belt and water pump (nissan parts only)
but u have a 92 listed...i think they came with a timing chain (vs a belt) that doesn't get changed

Correct me if I'm wrong, cause I know you will...

Darn. I wonder what kind of wires the dealer sold me? A loooong time ago, all they sold for our cars was NGK. Well, at least I got the cap and rotor right. I'm still waiting for them to arrive. I've never did this before. Any subtleties that I should know about?
