Well, here I was writing all kinds of posts talking about my crazy idle. I had installed what I thought were great plugs. (Hey they worked on my Crxs). My car had been idling funny like up and down at lights and stuff and shutting off when I would start it cold.
I tried everything to cure this. I yanked out all emissions, (egr and bpt), did a hellified tune-up and nothing seemed to help. With the egr gone however I saw a big difference. But still idling funny. So while running credit checks at my job at Verizon, I thought, F**k it. I'm buying Ngk plats and see if that helps. So 55 bucks later and after my Big Chicken sandwich was devoured, I put my NGK platinum "R"s on. And fellas, AINT THIS A BITCH, THE G-DAMN SH*T IS RUNNING LIKE A DREAM!!!!! OH MY GOD! WHAT A DIFFERENCE!! The engine was so smooth that I kept looking at my tach to make sure it was on. My pedal had no vibration like before. And then came the good part. When I finally floored it, that tach needle just ate up them RPMs like I porn queen deep throating some.....oh nevermind. BUT HEY, I AM SO HAPPY!! IM SORRY I EVER DOUBTED ANYBODY!!!!
MY SE-R IS KICKIN ASS NOW MOTHERF*CKERS!!!!
YYYYEEEEAAHHHH!!!!!!

bosch plats and bosch plat+4's are crap in my motor. ngk plats with 30k miles on them run better than either bosch plug with 5k.
thats a fact!

I used NGK plats in the Probe GTS I used to own and it ran like a dream, since it had a Mazda powerplant. Where is the best place to pick these up for an SE-R?

I just got a new set of the NGK Plat's in my 97.
My question is how much should I gap the NGK's ?

They should be pre-gapped to factory specs. I put mine in this past weekend. Didn't measure them, just double checked them holding them side by side with the set I took out. The gap was, or seemed to be the same.
