coldel Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Always worth remembering that iridium does not equal better than copper core - both perform equally well, coppers just do not last as long. If you are the sort of person who likes to service your own car a fair bit and have no problem switching plugs over every 12 months then coppers are fine and a fraction of the cost.

Tricky-Ricky Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 As above, have you tried your local motor factors...there is nothing special about the plugs used in the Z, and no performance advantages to be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only better in as much as they last 5 times as long but no they dont spark any stronger . Changing plugs on the 350z hr and the 370z is a time consuming job , no way i would want to do that every year 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Sure it only took me and my dad about 20 mins to do when we used to service the car, just remove a few items and you had reasonable access? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richf Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 DE is easy , the HR less so Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldel Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Aye fair enough I had the DE. But for a cost of circa £15 vs £60-£100 for two products that do the same thing. Once you have put oil and other consumables on top it does amount to a good saving vs time taken to change over. I think most people on here agree that they service at least once a year, so setting aside time to do the work anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitstew Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 HR spark plugs were more expensive than the DE ones when I looked the other year. Think they have a longer service interval on them also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 Copper core (so called but all plugs have a copper core) will last 6-12K mils, Platinum will go for maybe 20-30K mls and Iridium will last up to 60K mls. So its a case of if you into doing your own maintenance, and like to fiddle, you may as well buy the copper, but if your one to fit and forget, or get someone else to do your maintenance, go for iridium. Personally i like to know whats going on with my engine....and I'm tight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Feck....is that the lifespan of copper plugs , wish I'd known that's all their good for, there's bloody 16 plugs in my v8 jeep. Next time I'll be getting platinum ones at least, stuff having to pay the labour charges on that every 6 -12k miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AMT Posted September 11, 2016 Share Posted September 11, 2016 Iridium ones last for ageeees. Worth spending the money as you'll go through a good few services before doing them again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
