Yeah, the Nissan Service Guy almost flipped when I told him I had bosches in there.
Excuse me, Mr goodwrench.
So I bought NGK's and we'll see tonight when I get off work how "Spidey" runs.

O.K what's up X honduh owner. the color you want is a light tan to chocolate brown plug with no eroded or melted parts on the plug. Platinums are good if you drive like an old man but in an se-r it won't happen. get NGK brk6e or bkr6e plugs and gap them at .032 and you'll be on the money. the gap clearance is from .031-.035 so even .031 is good as they will wear on you in time. standard plugs are cheap too like 1.50 each. compared to plats 4$ and up each. I know some will say other wise but I have never used plats and have had no problems but do have to change them often every 15,000 or less due to honduh whippin' mostly and racin'.

if you get the chilton or haynes manual at a big autoparts store , they have a big picture of how to read the spark plugs and know how your joint is running and all! compare yours to the picture and tune, tune, tune! standard is good enough for running hard in the streets!
