Gino, you tried to be the king but the ace is back
Also I read that you dont mess with the gap on NGK but umm mine were at .032 and from what I got from the person who sold me was .044 and so did some online sites said .044 so I did mine at .044
Call up Brian from Courtesy Nissan and get the BKR6E's. I like them because they are a $1.50 each and you change them every 30kmiles (I change them every 15k miles). This way you can look into your engine bay more often and see if everything is ok.

The FSM recommends 0.043 inch gap. And go with the BKR6E copper plugs. The platinum/iridium plugs do not help you make more power (barring certain exceptions). Plugs made of precious metals only last longer than copper plugs. Not worth the phenomenally higher price if you ask me.

only time it would be profitable is if you have a vehicle with PITA spark plugs to get to (montero,transverse v8 and v6s).
but for our lowly dohc four bangers it's a gravy job
OK this what dealer told me grr use BKR5E-11 and gap at 0.44 but my car manual says to use from BKR4E-11 to BKR6E-11 and gap from 0.031 to 0.035 and I think when you buy them, they come gapped at .035 hmm im so confused now
