ATTN: 2k2/2k3 With Iridum plugs..or People thinking about it.

I just got off the phone with NGK, the tech and i talked a little about the 2k2/2k3 maxima. Seems like only the Double platinum plug is available. I know someone is running iridium plugs. They say the reason i cannot use an iridium plug is that the thread lenght is too long. I can confirm this, i picked up a set of 2001 coppers and the 2k2 plugs are about 1/4" or more, LONGER. So the only option NGK has for me is the double platinum which is the orginal PLFR5A-11. Not sure about other companies, time to call DENSO.

Just called Monarch, big supplier of denso iridiums/ngk iridiums. With the reach of 26. something. Its too long and they dont have a plug in the same Length. Also saying with a shorter plug, i wont get the full potential. Now im sure it'll screw in just fine, but like i said....the 2k1 coppers were shorter than the 2k2 OEM NGK platinum i pulled out. So thats 2 companies first one being NGK directly, and 2nd Monarch a supplier, both cannot cross reference the plugs. So No NGK Iridium or Denso iridum for me.
