Part number for 2k2 Copper...SPARK PLUG

Hey guys i cant seem to find the cross referenced part number for the 2k2 copper NGK spark plugs. Can someone post it please, ive searched several times theres plenty of talk for copper spark plugs, but no on has posted a part number or model for the plugs themselves. Im looking to change my spark plugs before a new year road trip so any help will be appreciated.

Thanks

Platinum ones are PLFR5A-11
Platinum ones for a 2k-2k1 are PFR5G-11

Now the copper one for the 2k-2k1 is a BKR5E-11

So I dont know if that will work straight up, I actually dont know what the difference between the two numbers are. But they seem similar, I forget what the letters and numbers mean.

Best bet would be to give an auto parts store the Platinum model number and they can cross reference it to the copper one easily.

The Pfr5g-11 are the ones listed on courtesy nissans website...for the 2k-2k1...and its also listed for the 2k2..so assuming that..the Copper ones Bkr5e-11 should work! Thanks big doooooooog

I guess, but the actual part number for the 2k2 is the one I listed. Comes straight off the Factory Service Manual. Just make sure, Courtesy couldve made a mistake or maybe the plug is the same just a slight part # change or something. Still the best bet is to go to an AutoZone, Pepboys, Advance Auto or something and get them to cross reference the #. I did that and I got my copper plugs for like $1.50 a piece. I needed 1step colder plugs.

Well I cant give you an honest answer since I had the supercharger on there pushing over 300+whp. So cant tell you without being biased about the supercharger.

MAF has nothing to do with the plugs. Leave the plugs until they need to be changed.

apparently the 2k1 copper plugs dont fit..theyre about 1/4" shorter than the factory 2k2 spark plugs..will that make a difference?

When a MAFS dies the car runs really rich, when a car runs really rich the plugs get fouled. So when a MAFS fails it's a good idea to repalce your plugs.
