What is the P/N or code that we need to look fo rto ensure that we get the right plugs? Also, who was the seller on eBay? Lastly, were the plugs listed under a search title that includes "maxima," or did you just search for NKG and then look for the correct P/N?

My friend uses copper in his Type-R, and says other dyno'd higher power all around the RPM, but he says you have to change them every 8K on his Integra. I think if our plugs were as easy to access, I'd switch to copper. But those plugs by the intake manifold really suck. I'll stick with the platinums.
I was just wondering if those NGK Laser platinums are the same as the Nissan OEM plugs, or if the are something better.

changed my plugs the other day....i didnt really have a problem with the 3 behind the intake manifold, except for the one closest to the throttle body....grr that one ****ed me off 
.....and well, my strut bar wasnt helping much either.....i got NGK Lazer Plats at about $9.50 a piece at Advanced Auto, so all together I payed around $63, and thats inclding the price for a PCV valve i also bought...

In my personal experience the NGK Laser Platinum Plug is the 1 to use. The recommended NGK Plug is PFR5G-11 for 4th gen Max. In the long run they are the most cost effective!

The new hybrid NGK Iridium is the way to go! Iridium center electrode with a Platinum ground electrode. So new I can't find any feed back on them. Why don't you try them and report on your results!

They are about $70 a set. How is projected longevity on them, as compared to platinums? Can I run them as drop-in replacements, or do I need to change something else (wires, etc.) to run them?

I would call NGK Corporate Technical Support. I got their number off this site www.ngk.com when I called them. Sorry I lost their number.

Hey Jamsan, remember I had posted my times (still running 17s) for you to help. Could the spark plugs be the reason? I'm running 10k old Denso Platniums. Could this be my problem?
