Hey:

I am about to change my spark plugs. Should I be changing the wires as well? my car as 110K miles, and I don't think they have ever been changed.

If needed: Should I get OEM, dealer, web, Price? etc.

thanks for the help.

 

Your car doesn't have wires. Get NGK platinum plugs (OEM) from any of the online Nissan parts dealers (discount) - look in the group deals forum for Midway Nissan - good service and good prices.

 

what do u mean it doesnt have wires... there is wiring going to the sparkplugs, and i was also woundering if i should replace it after 100,000

 

our engines have coil packs, that sit directly above the plug. Read the chilton's or haynes and it explains it all to you.

 

......

 

You can replace the wires - its called the engine harness and if you buy it now, we'll give you the special price of 1295.00 including shipping.

Your car has electronic ignition, not the older distributor->spark plug wires type ignition. Cheers and welcome to the 4th Gen. We are a fun bunch.

 

The mileage won't necessarily dictate when the coil packs need to be changed; engine performance will.

 

hahahahaha, you deserved to get flamed, you've been around since 2002!

 

direct ignition my friend....most newer cars have them.

 

Im being flamed for nothing i was aware there is no distributer just didnt know the name for the engine harness, and didnt know how fat the harness itslef ditiriarates.

 

Jesus Christ!

 

Fat doesn't just DETERIORATE, it takes a little working out. And besides if you look at your spark plugs do you have to chase wires around to figure out which one goes where on a DISTRIBUTOR? Come on look at your engine and get to know it before posting dumb questions.

 

Maybe he MENT to say replace the coil packs. Either way, ur engines performance will tell ya if u need to or not. I'm just tryin to help the guy out.

 

Man... he had some typos... He's asking questions with the intention of learning something.. at least hes not some cocky punk like some people on here.. give him a freaking break.... Everyone has to start somewhere....

 

He should've started by taking 4th gen Maximas 101 .. read read read & search before posting .. this stuff has been covered years ago.

wannaboostbad, I believe it's MEANT, not ment ... at least in the English vocabulary.

jsutter, you have a good point.

 

no wires, i found out last week too, coils! 912 bucks at the stealership, the guy says "people usually dont change them unless u HAVE to!"

 

912 = you could get them for less than 1/3 that.

 

+1... they are like $50 per coil OEM nissan on line.

 

good lord $912 for damn coil packs! uhhhh the things i could buy wht that kinda money.

 

You should get a hall pass back to the 4th gen stickies.
