Spark plug type

So I've found 3 new platinum spark plugs in the basement and am wondering if they can possibly work on the 3rd gen. On the box it says "Resistor 4202, and that they're for GM, Toyota, Ford, and Honda. The number is FR8DPX". So obviously they're the wrong type, but what's the worst thing that can happen if I try using one of those? The one above is one of the platinum ones, below is the stock one.

Those are bosch. I do not recommend Bosch for use in ANY nissan.
They cross reference to a NGK # BKR5EIX-11
they are 1 heat range hotter than stock as well.
Do what you want, but I would rather spend $12 on a set of correct NGK plugs.

Stay away from the BOSCH PLATINUMS especially on our 3rd gens. i did not ask anyone back then if i can use these on our 3rd gens and damn it that **** made my car misfire like hell. lasted about 30min. in my car and took them back out and returned them. i had to search around in Indiana while living there i discovered that advance auto and autozone did not stock NGK's for my car so i had to find somewhere else and came across a place called Carquest. they had them in stock and what surprised me even more is that the packaging was in japanese. so stay away from Bosch and stick to NGK's.
