AdrianL Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 (edited) Hi guys, Apologies if this has been answered before but I've struggled with the search and googling.. What and where can I get some spark plugs that would be ideal for a remap? I can see the usual stuff on eurocarparts but if what I've read is correct I should be getting the NGK Iridium ones? If so where can I buy these on the weekend (i.e. not online). Thanks Adrian Edit: These are iridium - are they any good? Anyone used them? http://www.eurocarparts.com/ecp/c/Nissan_350Z_3.5_2004/p/car-parts/engine-parts/ignition1/spark-plug/?408776950&1&178c3ced0f630e9d2b490e24d2ee453d241e30e3&000301 Edited March 26, 2015 by AdrianL Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted March 26, 2015 Posted March 26, 2015 Well the std recommended plugs for the DE are platinum, I personally wouldn't recommend using iridium plugs for mapping, but that's a personal thing, I always use basic copper core, but in any case there is no performance advantage with any plug, its just a case of longevity, platinum and iridium are intended for longer service life in applications where plug changing is a PITA.

AdrianL Posted March 27, 2015 Author Posted March 27, 2015 Ah right I see. I thought the interval seemed quite long! In which case, if I get some standard plugs, what will the service interval become? Thanks, Adrian Quote
Tricky-Ricky Posted March 27, 2015 Posted March 27, 2015 Copper core = 6-10K mls Platinum = 20-30K mls Iridium = 30-60k mls 1 Quote
S14DST Posted March 31, 2015 Posted March 31, 2015 At the moment I have NGK PLFR5A plugs and they are dead, I even have a slight missfire... What plugs would any of you recommend on a budget? I just don't want to pay 75 pounds for plugs that I will be replacing twice a year... P.S sorry for stealing a topic Quote

P.S sorry for stealing a topic They are platinum so you could either stick with them, shouldn't be more than £25-35 a set, or you can just go for copper core equivalent at about £10-16 a set. Quote

Did a quick look on ebay and they cost ~60pounds for 6pcs... Where I should look for a better price? P.S oh and I don't live in UK Quote
