Look, the BKR6E-N is a plug NGK makes for Honda, period. Nothing special, they are the same as the BKR6E, BKR6E-11, BKR6E-n-11, whatever (aside from pre-gap). If you can prove to me a HP or reliability difference between your -N and a regular BKR6E ( that is claimed to be different) then please inform me. Spend your time and money on better things, other than spark plugs and NGK nomenclature.

I was doing the same thing for a while. Noticed a decent difference in seat of the pants feel, no dyno numbers though. Try the BKR6e-n11, let me know. They only cost me $1.69 a peice so , not that much of an expense.
 
I've been doing a littleresearch on the VE plugs. Beast - the BKR7E is one heat rating colder than the BKR6E (ratings go from 2 (hottest) to 11 (coldest)). Probaly not a fatal problem. The "N" designation (as in BKR7EN-11) has to do with a special design in the electrodes. The "N" means that the ground side of the electrode has a "V" cut in it. I got these from Advance Auto under part number 5724 -- it's a conventional copper plug, and you can clearly see the "V". For some reason, Nissan seems to think this mod is a good thing for the VE. I think the platinum equivalent would be PFR6N-11 (part number 3546), but I'm not dead sure about that. Also, there appears to be an iridium equivalent -- check sparkplugs.com.
