all i found in there is a bunch of people who couldnt make their minds up. that is why i am re-opening and making a new thread.and the last post in that thread was in 10-09-2006 so i think we need to address who thinks what is better. do you agree.

Okay, this thread is obviously going nowhere.
to liven things up a little bit, people running NGKs put out which NGKs you run, and, if applicable, why you chose that plug.
NGK's website shows these plugs for the maxima(both vg and ve)
Standard, V-Power, G-Power, Laser Platinum, OE Laser Iridium, Iridium IX

The ve comes with ngk platinums stock,and are recommended by the manufacturer, but i have had no problems at all running v power coppers for years. you have to replace the v powers more often,but much cheaper then the laser plats($12X 6= $72) VS. V power( $3X 6=$18)
but as matt said prior..Use any plug you want..as long as it's a NGK plug..
I have ran them on my maxima for about 2 years now and they still look clean and still has strong responses.

i used bosch plats for about 4 months and immediately noticed a loss in low end power. then i joined the org, and got ngk v-powers and have been satisfied. a fixed o2 sensor harness didn't hurt either (that one wire alone jumped my fuel economy up by a solid 40%, sometimes higher) but the broken studs are working against me. overall, I regret buying those stupid bosch plugs and i have returned to the stock Nissan plug wires against the Duralasts, hoping that the OEM stuff is better.
while we are on the topic of ignition......
anyone have a preferred cap/rotor combo in their VGs?

DIS = distributorless ignition system? and we do that on a vee gee how? using the crank angle sensor, and by that i may actually mean camshaft angle sensor (the stupid thing that tells the injectors when to fire) and running it off that? also, by adjusting the timing of the distributor do you also adjust the timing of the injectors or does that sensor stay put as you are turning the distributor?

Fact: 75% of OE plugs are NGK
Fact: Most newer european cars no longer use Bosch plugs from the factory
Bosch has become an autozone plug to me. they are cheap and made to cheap specs so that people can feel good about putting in a platinum plug that doesn't cost $5

bosch work in some cars- ones that the engine was designed with those plugs in mind. they are quality in some conditions. many airplanes spec bosch avaition plugs (which are $20-60 EACH), and are not allowed by FAA to use anything but what's on the spec sheet.
but for every Nissan application I've seen, NGK is the stuff to use.
