    Default Spark Plugs --NGK, yeah?

    So, it came with NGKs and should stay with NGKs, but what about the iridium, or platinum, or anything else? I'm in NY, so I have temperature variations between below freezing in the winter to well above hot in the summer, and I have a higher output coil and some decent spark wires. Should I just stick the 6es in there, or upgrade to something else?

    Thanks in advance,
    Chris

    I like the NGK or if you can find them the Nippo Denso U grooves. I probably spelled it wrong, but you get the idea. I have used these MANY MANY times, great plug!!

    As far ar those platnum, splitfires, those are JUNK. I can't throw them far enough away from my cars.

    - My small bit of knowledge and experience.
    Second place is the first loser.

    Thumbs up NGK

    I've been using normal NGK plugs for a long time now and I love them.

    I was running Champion Gold but seemed to have problems with oiling up (tired motor doesn't help.)

    Switched to NGK's on 1st son's advice as he is heavily involved in motorbike racing in Oz. As bikes rev at around 16000rpm, I followed his advice and haven't had a probem since.
    Spending too much again!

    Cool Plugs

    For a relatively stock 240-Z: NGK BP6ES
    For a 240-Z with electronic ignition MSD etc: NGK BP6ES-11

    And always use NGK wires

    I agree 100% but you have my interest peaked, what is the difference with the -11 plug from the bp6es ?

    Default Thanks

    ...for the replies. I already have the Magnecore wires (I think I got the 8mm ones..) and a higher output coil. I'm gonna grab some NGKs when I get a chance. Of course, when I wait for the weather to be above freezing, everything works almost immediately. Maybe I'm just impatiant, and the plugs aren't so tired after all.

    Thanks again,
    Chris
