read the "sticky" post on the top of the forum for maintaince items. i just ordered plugs for my car. after searching though all the previous posts it looks like you best bet os to order a set of ngk's. your car needs platinum plugs. platinum ngk's are about $17.50 EACH if you buy them from an auto store. i ordered mine online and paid like $51 for all four. but like i said, check out the sticky post up top. it will answer all your questions..

You only needed FOUR spark plugs??

Yeah I would recommend the stock Nissan OEM NGK Platinum plugs as well. I believe they come in three heat ranges, designated "4" "5" or "6". The OEM part is "5" I believe.

KC, you should have gone to Nissan. They are only 12 bucks at a dealership, any dealership.
