    IIRC all the posts in the thread relating to spark plugs, it's better to stick to stock unless you don't want to clean your plugs per 5000kms..

    Try nyo po chief mag-search, dami na rin po kasing topics similar dito. IMHO lang po.

    No harm in trying it out. Just be sure it's for the particular Nissan model that you have.

    I just use the Php75.00/pc spark plugs. I don't really find the point of using uber expensive plugs for stock, non-high performance engines.

    I have Bosch Platinum plugs in my 1300cc Samurai. I feel it's better than the Denso plugs that goes with it. Starts with one click and is much responsive to my right foot. ;)

    Spark plug effects vary from car to car, and the effects are due to both the design of the plugs and the material used.

    But in the case of the Sentra, multi-point plugs don't give any improvement in performance. This is because the stock NGKs have the optimum height for proper spark performance, and shorter (like Bosch 4's) or longer (like Splitfires) plugs don't give you the right plug height in the combustion chamber.

    If you want Platinum plugs, the best for your ride will be NGK Platinums of the same design and height as stock.

    Remember, this advice is specific for the Sentra, and may not apply to other cars. It comes from a guy I've talked to online and trust a lot. Full article on the Sentra engine at http://sentra.net/tech/garage/engine.php

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    if you have the money to burn then go right ahead... with regards to inproving performance its better to find it out yourself...

    don't change if its not broken...
