Spark plug part number for 04 3.5
I am wondering what the part number would be for one step colder copper NGK's for an 04 max.
I am planning on spraying a 75 shot, so the one step colder plugs will work.
Thanks guys!

Dont run coppers bro run iridiums... NGK Iridium LFR6AIX-11 = 1 step colder plugs and if you ever wanna go with a bigger shot, the 2 step colder plug is a 7 instead of the 6. Stock gap is around .044 but gap your plugs down to help prevent detonation.

Scratch your head all you want.
I'm not saying you cant run them, but its more common on the 3.0's not the 3.5's. And when you have guys like Kevin007 (6th Gen) Jime (5.5 Gen/ Maxima Guru) and I can name many more that have been running nitrous for a LONG time successfully using iridium plugs why wouldnt you wanna use the same plugs they are? I've had nitrous on my car for almost 2 yrs now using iridium plugs and havent had any problems from the plugs or out of my car/motor.. I can go on and on about this but I wont.
I hope that part number helps you out man and good luck with your nitrous.

Copper plugs are supposed to be used in nitrous applications.
I have seen iridium plugs melt under nitrous. I have used nitrous before and know a ton of people that have sprayed huge shots on V8's. They all run copper plugs.
Does Jime really run iridium plugs? Damn.

I've melted iridium plug electrodes - I have photos - but never copper-core plugs. The iridium center electrode is very thin and heats up - like a glow plug - under some conditions. The copper center electrode has more mass and can dump the extra heat into the plug's outer shell.
I also cut back the ground strap and side-gap the plugs to reduce the amount of metal inside the combustion chamber. Lots of nitrous makes the combustion chamber stupid-hot and that heat can cause all sorts of problems - including melting exhaust valves (more photos).
For what it's worth....

I hear and understand what your saying. I just gave him a part number for something that I know works fine for me as well as many others with 3.5's on this forum. No matter what anyone says its all personal prefrence/experience. Different people/cars/setups are gonna have their differences, but bottom line most things come down to personal preference/opinion. Intakes, Y-Pipes, Exhausts, Spark Plugs, sometimes its all what people think works best for their setup and thats where everything gets mis-construed am I wrong?
I learn something new from this forum quite often - we have a very experienced group in Advanced Performance and I'm lucky to learn from them - so I try and give something back once in a while.

Thanks for the part number.

WIth a 75-shot, no problem if not too lean. Using nitrous really means you need an A/F meter installed. Going up beyond a 100-shot is not a good idea without taking these two precautions. Some recommend an Iridium plug - personally, I've melted a few iridium electrodes, so I stuck with copper centers with extended tip plugs - up until my new engine, I now use the NGK racing plug which is entirely different. ( think it's #4805 )
Be very sure you have enought fuel pressure when spraying - check fuel pressure...
