2000 spark plug gap ...
What's the correct gap I need to have these at? The owners manual says
.043 and according to this http://forums.maxima.org/showthread....80#post2815980, it's .044. Does it really make that huge of a difference?

I don't remember for sure, but I thought I read somewhere, someone said the plugs are gapped correctly at the factory for our cars? I think not, they're gapped to .04 outta the box.
Has anyone gotten plugs from the dealer? Do they say Nissan or NGK on the box? Holly cow, they're spendy plugs, 13.49 @ Carquest, 12.99 @ Nappa, 12.50 @ some local place, 13.20 from dealer (yeah, not the most expensive), Autozone does not carry them, 9.98 @ Advanced Auto, that's where I got mine. Didn't want to wait for them, so I got locally.

How in the world are you going to gap a $13 iridium plug from .043 to .044????? and why????
Have you seen the electrode on those iridium’s?
I have never done this to any platinum or iridium plug i've replaced.
