Ok, i have been told to get teh NGK PFR6B-11 plugs. Well, no one has them. I have also have tried checking listings for the 300ZX N/A. Everyone lists all Platinum which is NOT what i need. ANyone know what possible plugs i can use? This is the only thing stopping me from spraying! That and the fact no one knows what they are talking about when i tell them i need 1 step colder adn they keep saying that you will blow up yoiur engine if you dont use platinum blah blah. I swear that half of these people at parts stores are complete morons or just cant speak damn english. Any help would be great.

Every place I went said they had to specail order them, and they were $17.99...a piece!!! I had them look up all the plugs in stock for the 300zx at Pep Boys and Kragen (two closest autoparts stores) and they didn't even carry any NGK's for the 300zx NA. I got some Champion plugs instead, but they are platinum. I have not installed them yet, is there a reason you don't want to use Platinum? Let me know, I'm still trying to learn everything. Thanks.

How do you adjust the FPSS? I just installed mine last night, but I didn't see anywhere to adjust it. Under the rubber plug perhaps? What and how would you go about adjusting it? Thanks in advance. BTW, the Champion Platinum plugs were only like, $2-3 a piece, a whole lot better than the $17.99 for the NGK's, but I will look into the copper plug thing, thanks.

-Disconnect the 2nd soleniod electrical lines
-Hook a 12v test light up to those wires, make sure the wires are long enough to either have it inside the car or being held by the windshield wiper.
-Now, turn the FPSS fully clockwise
-Go out and activate the system. It is ok, the car will be fine. The car may sputter a bit but it will do not harm. Just gettin more fuel. The test light should NOT come on.
-Now adjust the FPSS by turning counter-clockwise. Do it in 1/4 turn incriments.
-Now go and test again, if the light doesnt come on, repeat the step above.
-Keep adjusting till the light barely comes on, then turn the FPSS another 1/4 turn more.
-Now the swtich is set right.

If you're running NOS it doesn't really matter all that much if you use copper or platinum. The copper tip does give a slightly hotter spark, though.
