So it's about time to replace the plugs on my max. I'm going to go with the platinum plugs. Please don't jump in stating how much better copper is than platinum and that I'm going the wrong way on this. I don't have time to change my plugs every 20k so platinum it is.

Now then, my question is, and this is probably a really stupid question, are there still spark plug cables? I remember doing this on my ****ty '92 Shadow. Replaced the cables along with the plugs. Do you still have to do this on modern cars? Do the ignition coils connect directly to the plugs?

Thx.

 

Direct ignition = no 'cables'.

KTHXBYE

 

the car comes with platinum.. so get the NGK's.... and be done....

 

Cool. Thanks for the replies.

 

no ignition wires, but as the above post says, make sure u get NGK!!

 

since the third gen, nissan has used the DIS ignition system on maximas, I am stuck with the older system with spark plug wires. be sure to get NGK

 

Don't EVER put Bosch plugs in your Max, NGK is THE only plug these cars will run good on. And no there are no wires or distributor cap/rotor to worry about.

 

No wires, no distributor cap... That is great...

 

And old news... Been that way for 12 years.

 

oops, maybe that's why my car runs like **** sometimes?

are we talking about the $1.99/per sparkplus NGKs or some Iriduim stuff?

 

1.99 sounds WAY too cheap. they should be up at least $8, most places ive found are almost $12 per plug

 

I pay 1.89 for my NGK Cu's for my VQ30. I pay 6.99 for my Cu's for my VQ35..

 

so you dont buy stock replacements, i mean the stock replacements

 

Coppers good enough for me.

 

i like to use copper. IMO they work just as good as the platinums and you save a bunch of money.

 

dude, your paintjob is SICK!!!!!

how much did it run you?

 

NGK v-power coppers rule!
