ONLY USE NGK!!!ONLY USE NGK!!!ONLY USE NGK!!!

Either coppers (NGK BKR5E-11, about $2, last 30k miles), or stock plats (don't remember part number, about $10, last 60k miles). I use coppers since they're alot cheaper and I change them myslef. If you are having them changed it's probably cheaper in the long run.

I had denso iridiums and they fouled real bad in about 5K miles. They are only good on boosted or nitrous applications. My car seems to run best on NGK vpower copper.

No need to go colder, etc. Coppers are cheaper - which is why a lot of people here have them. I run plats in my car - but its a personal choice - you'll find plenty of opinions on why use the copper over platinums... key word in that sentence was opinions. If you do go the platinum route - just order from jrnissanparts.com (Jerry Rome Nissan) - use the "maxima" promo code for an additional discount.
