NGK platinums or coppers, depending on your budget. The coppers last half as long but are a fraction of the cost. And be sure to ONLY use NGK plugs. You want to gap them to .043" Welcome to the ORG.

my manual says platinum plugs do not need to be gapped....the platinums spark is strong enough to the point where gapping no longer matters....its the 96 maxima fsm....

Re-gap them anyway. During shipping, the boxes get knocked around and may change the gap distance.
