What kind of spark plugs should I get in order to receive the most power from my engine?

 

I will tell you from experience that the Iridums are good they are good on the fuel economy and low performance and they are alot aggressive meaning they are going to spark better and faster when you turn your car over. The car normally takes 5 min to warm-up if your car is cold and has not been started all ready. The car got warmed up in about 45 seconds to a 1 min.
I noticed I lost some low-end power and had some better mid-range and top-end. I am sure the v-power are much more aggressive then the iridiums.

 

get the PFGR5-11 platinum OEM plugs. there is a longstanding debate about platinum vs iridium plugs, but i ended up gettin platinum just becuase thats what the car was designed for. they cost exactly the same so its up to you.

$11.16 i think from courtesy nissan. mention that you are member of Maxima.ORG.

here is a pic of a 10 year old OEM running 87 VERSUS a new one outta the box (i did my plugs last sunday)
ive noticed a REMARKABLE increase in miles per gallon. at least 3 mpg more (plus i started running premium)

 

Spark plugs give power? WOW!

 

just get the oem plats like rockart said. they are the way to go. they are cheaper through dave b. at south point nissan though.

 

how much cheaper? what else does he have?

is there a website i can look at?

 

OR $10 @ your local auto parts store

 

oh yea

make sure you use nothing but NGK plugs.

 

I prefer the coppers just because i change them more often. If you wanna go longer intervals without changing them get the iridiums. Both will perform just one will last longer than the other.

 

The Nissan brand NGK platniums are the best I just got them and there much better then those other plug's performance and fuel wise. Nissan has to types in platinum if i rember right.

 

Plugs are the same no matter where you get them.
PFGR5-11 are the same at Nissan as they are at Walmart. Nissan doesn't have special NGK PFGR5-11 plugs made for them.

 

i dont thnk there are two OEM platinum NGK types of plugs. you might be thinking of iridium vs platinum becuse they cost the same.

 

Get the NGK coppers (v-power) . Go to NGK website, and read about the spark plug differences. They claim there is no difference in performance between types of spark plugs

 

go oem platinums!

 

Nissan is now using iridium on the new VQ's. I like my denso iridiums.

 

Hey cuz they want for you to come back to the dealer so they can charge you 500 bucks to change plugs..

 

the only difference in copper/plat/irid. is how long they last and how often do you want to get your hands dirty changing them

nissan uses iridiums to print a nice long maintenance interval in your car's manual and advertisements - that plus the fact that you have to lift the UIM to ge tto the back 3 plugs on the VQ35

 

get the kryptonite version. they last for at least 10000years

 

Question is there any difference in NGK V-power and NGK standard??

Pics
NGK Standard


NGK V-Power

Got those from NGKs website just wanna know if anybody thinks theres really any difference. I just bought some standards. They are the same price as the V-power, I'm just curious and debating if I feel like exchanging them for v-power

 

Go to autozone...ask for NGK platinums ($2.69 each) and call it a day.

 

I have NGKs coppers from advanced wanted to know if anyone knew the difference between standard and V-power
