Nissan OEM. Just go to your dealer.

Hmm? Where have I heard that question before? Hmm? Let's see...


...Oh! Here about a 1000 times! :rolleyes:

Me loves to be a smart ass! :D

Anyhow, always go for Nissan OEM unless you are pushing some serious HP. (250+ HP to be exact)

Shouldn't you worry about NGK plugs though? I heard them breaking off around the cap area.

Correct me if I'm wrong :) I'm in the market for a major tune up soon too.

For the plugs: NGK PLATINUM.

First time since I've had my SE-R (12 years) that I've heard of this problem. I quickly looked through the thread you linked to and didn't find any mention of that problem. Maybe I read it to quickly.

NGK blues aren't all that great either. They tend to break off on the sparkplug top or in the cap.


But I can't judge this on one opinion. ;)

Ian (PrettyWhite) was referring to NGK blue wires.

I was planning on buying these... What's wrong with the 'blue' ones if anything?

TIA

NGK and OEM - worked for me for 10 years, 2 months and counting!
