I've read several threads on here about Copper vs Platinum vs Iridium plugs.

One thing that I was surprised to see on the NGK website was that they have a separate search for "Automotive" and "Non-US Automotive" vehicles. I did a search for my 2001 Maxima and got this:

http://www.ngk.com/results_appNonUS....lMotiveID=3336
Platinum Plug #: PFR5G-11
Iridium Plug #: BKR5EIX-11

I did not see plug numbers for the copper plugs. I saw somewhere in a spark-plug thread that the number is LFR5A-11 but I want to confirm this.
Does anyone have a 5th Gen, specifically an 01 running copper plugs? I assume that someone is, and if so can you please confirm the plug numbers?

Thanks.

P.S. The main search page is here:

A search for a "US" 2001 Maxima gives more results, but still no copper:

sorry i don't have any info for the NGK coppers.. i'm running platinum plugs... but real quick, what kind of intake do you have? i like where that sits in the engine bay as opposed to other short ram intakes

I don't think that it was designed for a Maxima, as I asked the guy about installation when I got it and he had absolutely no idea about where it would sit.
I had to be creative in order to get it to sit like that, and after install I sent the guy a picture.
He told me that I was "More mechanically inclined than he was", and they actually used it for their 5th Gen Maxima advertising picture....

If you're real interested, I'd be willing to sell as I'll be moving on to bigger & better things before the summer.

You can PM me if your interested......
