Dang, I forget where I just ordered them recently. A few months ago I ordered them online for about $9.99/plug, which was cheaper than at the NGK wb site. I'll try to find it. BTW, my plats are installed and have made a world of difference.

ok, I think I remember. I ordered them at Advance Auto for $9.98/plug. NGK themselves wanted like $11/plug.

I asked few Nissan dealers and started from $12 to $18; Autozone, Strauss, Napa, Pep Boys do not carry them; the only one I know is Advance $9.98; I think that will be the cheapest; unfortunally there is not Advance in NY; will buy them when going to NJ.
Do somebody knows a better price?

Now that's strange because those same autoparts stores here carry them (I know Pep Boys and Napa at least carries them). You can typically find them on Ebay for about $35-$50. I once had a guys email address that sold them for $38 shipped. I'll post if I can find it.

Denso Platinums != NGK Platinums.

Not to say they won't work, but if you hang around long enough, you'll find that people are having mixed results with anything but NGK plats or the NGK coppers mentioned.

NGK only.

Coppers are cheaper.

NGK coppers.

Yeah, you know I have actually been running the NGK coppers for about 2 years now, which may have caused the failure of my #3 coil pack on the rear bank? I think this is very doubtfull, at any rate I am going to go back to NGK plats so that I don't have to replace the plugs again for the ramainder of the life of my car.... knock on wood.
Cheers.

NGK irridiums?

I noticed that there were NGK irridiums for the same price as the platinums, on that sparkplug.com website. Anyone had any experience with these?
Cheers.
