If you want regular wires you should get some ngk's. Don't bother buying any cheaper ones from places like napa.

Send me your address and PayPal me 37 cents... I'll write it down and mail it to you. If 100 or more people want it, I'll talk to the Postmaster General and see if he'll cut me a break on postage.

I would buy some NGK wires man, they are pretty nice and seem to work great with the Nissan ignition. The stock wires seem to do a great job to if you want plain black ugly wires.

If you can wait for them, get them from
www.courtesyparts.com
( bookmark it now )
about $47 for OEM.
ACCEPT NO OTHER!!!!

Pep Boys, AutoZone, Discount AutoParts are not going to have them.
They'll have flaky Boschs.

Figgy: why not NGKs?

On a side note I did hear some bad stuff about the NGK plugs breaking upon removal.. :confused:

That's what happened to me a few days ago. I have NGK's and I know they have a good track record, BUT, just the other day I was putting in a new rotor and cap, and was removing the plug wires from the cap for the first time since I put the wires in a few months ago, and rather than have my #2 wire come out of the cap, it decided to come completely loose from the damn terminal. So I had to crimp the terminal back onto the wire. So needless to say, that didn't impress me too much, didn't give me a confident feeling that I'd bought quality wires. It also didn't help that the connection between the terminal and the wire, is accomplished by means of a short piece of wire that is merely pushed into the wire, bent over and makes contact with the terminal when it is crimped on. (I should have taken pictures). I'm not blaming NGK per se, I assume all wires are made this way, and if I could make better ones myself I'd do it. I did, however, find that the OEM wires I had on before had more resistance than the NGK's. But I still have an uneasy feeling about it.
