and you want a 8mm set of wires for what? i hope not the maxima, if so then you need to pop the hood. if you want inexpensive plugs then look for NGK coppers if they have come out for the 3.5. if not then the next priced one should be the ngk platniums (oem).

so in other words, they make NO GOOD WIRES for the max? i dont get it..........every car but the max, hmmmmmm. anyways, plugs i dont care, any fresh set will work the same, but thicker wires will help in the long run, why keep buying crap thin ones.......maybe i will pop the hood! lol, thing is prolly a weird setup, jap cars are so weird!

correct. only thing to do is to replace a fail coil or replace the plugs from an ignition standpoint. your sig shows up once on each page.

well exCUSSSSSSSSSSSE me! i never popped the hood on the thing, except to change the air filter........never thought to look for plug wires.......sheesh, sorry for being an automotive fundamentalist. by the way, didnt see you fixing trucks in iraq, so back off, i know enough about vehicles. but this is my first jap car. everything else was cheap stuff like neons, ford tempos and whatnot.

i dont think anyone here saw you fixing trucks in iraq either...and wouldn't have guessed otherwise. sorry you don't know how to handle a car worth popping the hood on.

Here are some other technology updates. Fuel injection instead of carburators. Carbs haven't been used in a production car for about 20 years (but please don't burst NA$CAR's bubble).

The thought "for a tough guy who's fighting 'ragheads', he's pretty thin skinned" came to mind. Stick around that the flaming won't hurt more than you ego...

I hold members of the armed forces and what they do in the highest regard, but using an excerpt of your knowledge and experience in a such context so as to help you "defend" yourself in a trival argument, on an internet message board, just made me lose all respect for you.

And as for your comments before that, man.
