Specific Part Number Spark Plugs will be used in various engines that may or may not require the same "gap".

Considering the cheapness of a Spark Plug Gap Gauge Set, and the little time it takes to set the Plugs to what Nissan specifies for the Z engine, I always set the gap on my new spark plugs. Why? Because then I KNOW they are set right.

Agreed, I think I picked up a simple spark gauge set for less than a few bucks.

Incidentally, my last set of BP6ES plugs was already at the perfect gap according to factory spec.
