Spark Plug / NOS Question???? HELP!!
I need to know what type of plugs people are running with their nitrous in the maxima, I have a 98, that I just put new platinum plugs in, when I called NOS they said that I need to get some regular NGK plugs one step colder, they said the platinum would flake off and cause the gap to get bigger, can anyone help??

Re: Spark Plug / NOS Question???? HELP!!
BKR6e-11 are the copper 1 step cooler plug
I think the plat's are pfr6g-11
Plats are fine, but coppers are cheeper.

if you are buying them from a store and they don't know.. it should be the plugs for the 92 NA 300zx

Go with the copper plugs. No need to spend $8 on platinum.. plus, the copper plug will create a hotter spark than platinum. You just have to change them out a little more often (not a difficult job to do every 30k)

To prevent the spark from being blown out. I havent had a specific problem. This is just what I've read and been told.

Why do you re gap your spark plug to .38 ?
I don't do that ?
I'm using about 135 HP NOS does that help ?
I'm using the NGK-PFR6B-11
It's 1.1 mm right = .043 you lowered the gap to .038=.96 mm
Last time I run my car till 240 Km/h with no problems
I checked my spark plugs it was fine but I wanna learn about the spark plugs more ..
If you re gap the spark is the spark gonna be weak ?

Yea, what he said 
Dosent reducing the gap also effect the motors abaility to function at higher or lower rpms. Smaller gap is better for high rpms, and large is for lower rpms. I know their is some relation, but I dont know the science behind it.

if the vehicle is producing ~ 100+ more hp than stock, you should decrease the gap to make the spark more concentrated. Some cars can get by with the normal gap (1.1mm) and not have hesitation or backfire. Some cars will so the gap should be reduced. If that is the case, the ignition should be upgraded but the cheap fix is to regap them.

lolFor Maximas, though, the difference is probably negligible til you push more than 400 hp. Gap makes a noticeable difference in the 600+ hp Zs, Supras, RX7s, etc.

I guess I'll re gap tomorrow. Perhaps I'll get a 13.5 then.

I spoke to a local Nissan SAE Mechanic (for what that's worth) who said the ignition system on the Maxima is so powerful, one does not need to decrease the gap.

Please don't tell me that I'm lying because you can see that my twin power is installed on my car in this site
http://www.sx7r.com/roadbeast/
And I'n sure it's working bevcause when my mechanic installed it we removed the coil to be sure it's working ..
When we connect the twin power the spark was fast and long and when we diconnect it , it's return as it was ..
You can see that stillen sell the twin power for maxima check it out
