Got mine from tustinnissanparts.com talk to Matt or Jason. Ask for the maxima.org discount and the're under $8.00 each. No tax unless you live in CA but like $6.00 shipping.

I bought mine on eBay for $39.99 shipped. Search old 4th gen posts for my username and "NGK Platinum" and you will see the eBay user. He always has some for sale...

Maybe you should sell your Maxima, buy a Civic and save yourself even some more loot then. Maximas do not run well with any plugs except NGK Platinum.

That's where you're wrong =) Truth be told, Maximas run even better with NGK Coppers. You probably won't notice the difference on an N/A car but copper is more conductive than platinum and gives a better spark. The downside to copper is durability. However, the cost of copper plugs more than makes up for its lack of durability; they cost 4-5x less and last 1/2 as long. So in essence, they're half the price of platinum plugs.

Try this place

I've bought 2 sets of NGK Iridium-IX's (I've had 2 Maximas) and they have fast shipping and excellent prices.
Monarch Products
If you want the Iridium's (which work great), get part number BKR5EIX11, quantity 6.

Install on any brand/type plug is the same.

ALWAYS check and adjust gap (if neccessary) b4 installation. Even if the gap is "pre-set" by the manufacturer, plugs can get banged around in shipping/handling enough to affect the gap.

The only possible problem with running copper is this. I was told by Courtesy Nissan that they do have a slightly different heat range, causing the car to run at "non-optimum levels" when it's extremely cold. Other than that, they rock.

2000 cows eating mexican food could spew more bull **** than i just read in that statement..

copper is better for the car.. the only times copper has a different heat range is if you bought a different heat range..

BKR5E-11 ... its the same heat range as stock
