Are NGK's worth it?
 

hey guys is there going to be any big difference in the performance of my car if i go with bosch spark plugs from O'reillys or do i really need to go with NGK's?

just stick with ngk, there pretty cheap in costs anyway.

If you can find them... On my visit to AutoZone and PepBoys yesterday, they didn't have either NGK coppers or platinums.. I kind of want coppers, so ordering them online is out of the question.

Only run NGK spark plugs in the Nissan engine. This point cannot be stressed enough. The engine and ignition system was designed with the internal resistance and exact parameters of NGK spark plugs in mind. Maybe some people have had some success stories running other brands, but others have lost 15hp, have lost gas mileage, have hesitation problems, or had to replace their whole engine, just by running non-NGK plugs.

OEM NGK type PFR5G-11 Platinum Spark Plugs
Description: This model is very highly recommended. They are the type supplied from the dealer. These spark plugs will last 60k miles.

shhh!! don't tell them... :wall:



















:D

NGK is a must for our engines.
I would get the BK5RE-11 though. They are coppers and will last only about 30k miles, but are 1/3 the cost of the plats.

Err...you mean BKR5E-11...



:D

Does not matter, motorcycle,boat,snowmobile,car,airplane.....use NGK's

i purchased my ngk plats online for 24 shipped. pepboys or autozone doesn't carry them.

for all 6?! where did you get them that cheap?

i just got the part number for the ngk site and placed it here http://www.sparkplugs.com/
NGK Sparkplugs, Denso Spark plugs, Alternators, Fuel Pumps, Compressors, Splitfire Gauges, Champion, Autolite, Ignition Wires, KYB shocks and struts, Sparkplugs.com stocks them all

not going to pepboys or autozone for this anymore. guys don't carry them. wasted gas.

the part number for the one i got is Part Number: BKR5EGP

nissan part number for NGK Copper is "22401-50y05"
nissan part number for NGK Platnium is "22401-1P115"

From NGK.. plugs for 99 Max


Standard BKR5ES-11
V-Power BKR5E-11
G-Power Platinum BKR5EGP
Laser Platinum PFR5G-11 * #
OE Laser Iridium IFR5E11 ^
Iridium IX BKR5EIX-11

The *# stands for premium laser cut plug, and OEM plug. I have no clue what ^ stands for. The G-Power platinums seem to be significantly cheaper.. any ideas why?

I just ordered some copper v-powers from napa online today(actually a bit cheaper than sparkplugs.com).. hmm..

g-power is rated higher then the coppers and they are cheap.
