Anyone using Datsun Competition Sparkplug Wires?

[WingZr0]

Hi Fellas.

I just bought a set of NOS Datsun Competition Sparkplug Wires on Ebay for

$35 bucks (shipping included) and like to know if anyone is currently

using these on thier Z or used them before.

see attachment below ->

Any recomendations on what Cap and Rotor would work best with them,

read on the forum not to use with MSD of some kind,

"..not recommended for use with the MSD box.".

Is it also true they interfer with the radio signal?

Figured they'd be good spark for the engine rebuild.

Okay, I'm unsure why a label on a package saying "Datsun Competition" makes them somewhat better than other wires in similar packaging.

You want good plug wires, buy good ones. I've been running Magnecor 8mm for 3 years now on my 3.2L NA stoker motor WITH an MSD box and a petronix unit under the cap (stock cap and rotor, B8ES NGK plugs).

Is the number on that 99996-E2020?. The old catalogs said 'race only'. Don't know how those will act in a street car but you'll probably here lots of noise in your stereo.

From what I've read about those wires, the "Competition" part really needs to be respected. I can't remember the web site, but it said basically bar-none, that those should not be used in a street engine.

So even though it would be cool to say "I've got a set of NOS Datsun Competition wires in my car," I wouldn't run them if I were you.

This is their description:

7mm Solid core ignition wires that improve the spark conductivity of a competition prepared L-series engine. Race application only.

7MM Hi-Performance Silicone Ignition Cable

Heat and Moisture Resistant

Tin Plated Copper Core

Heavy Duty Silicone Spark Plu Boots

Snap-Lock Plug Terminals

Brass Coil and Distributor Terminals

I'm pretty sure I have a set of those somewhere also that I bought years ago and never used.

I have ngk's on mines.

Me too. All three of them. NGK wires, NGK plugs.

Thyanx fellas.

I'll try NGK wires instead, what part number for those?

Yep, those are the ones, 99996-E2020.

So what will they do to the engine exactly, missfire?

To much spark for stock NGK plugs, rotor or something?

Solid core with no windings produce a lot of RF energy. This can affect any electronic device such as your radio. They would serve no added benefit on a street car even if it were bare boned with no component that could suffer from the rf. In other words, any car that could be considered a street car from a drivability standpoint.
