Maximas run better with NGK plugs (only a few people had good experience with Bosch plugs) so stick with NGK.

NGK platinums every 60k or NGK coppers every 30k. Platinums are expensive ($8+ each or $38 for 6 on eBay), but coppers are cheap (like $1.50-$2.00 each). I chose the NGK coppers

I just went to http://www.ngksparkplugs.com/apps/ca...uv/results.asp
and they dont have the BRK5E-11, they have BKR5E-11. Is this what you are talking about? Are the V-Power Spark plugs the same thing as copper plugs or no?
