I went ahead and replaced mine with NGK coppers. Seems to be running just fine. Way cheaper than the plats.

This is off topic but is the Maxima lettering different for 02/03 than the 00/02 it looks more slanted on the 01, I dont remember from my old 01?

NO! Not NOS!! please =] its NX
I wouldnt recommend getting one step colder plugs being N/A, there would just be no reason to.
