April 1, 200817 yr comment_242670 NGK plugs/wire.As far as a dizzy cap, not really sure. I'm not sure it really matter's too much.

April 1, 200817 yr comment_242671 Go with standard NGK plugs-don't spring for the split ended or platinum plugs, S30s run best on standard NGK plugs (BPR 6ESII in my case). The only differences I have ever found in a cap and rotor are old vs new-new runs better. NGK wires work very well, and not all others do. If you want the best wires, spring for Magnacore, but if your ignition is stock you will pretty much be paying for the bling factor.If Napa doesn't have NGK standard plugs, go somewhere that does-they ARE that important.Will Link to comment https://www.classiczcars.com/forums/topic/27588-recommended-plugs-and-dist-wires-on-my-75-280z/#findComment-242671 Share on other sites More sharing options...
April 1, 200817 yr comment_242672 Agreed. NGK plugs and wires here, too. Will, I think you meant BPR6ES-11, for the wide gap plugs for electronic ignition.

April 1, 200817 yr comment_242673 Definitely use the NGKs. Ran Bosch Platinums once, (once) and they sucked out loud. As to the wires, I'm running the Taylor Hi-Pros and have been very happy. Plus the added blue looks pretty under my hood!

April 1, 200817 yr comment_242674 I have a set of see-through wires if you are interested. In the dark, you can see the electrons flow!

April 1, 200817 yr comment_242676 I have a set of see-through wires if you are interested. In the dark, you can see the electrons flow! Before or after six or seven Heinekens?

April 1, 200817 yr comment_242678 HA HA HA no, really. I will have to get a pic of them. IIRC, they have a green tint, and you really can see through them!

April 4, 200817 yr Author comment_242995 Thanks fellas.. so NGK it is . I will go ahead and use BPR6ES-11 plugs and NGK Wires as well as caps if I find 'em. My car is pretty stock so Magnacore might be stretching it, although I hear they are good wires too if ignition is upgraded, I am assuming to electronic.

April 6, 200817 yr comment_243190 Hopefully I'm not too late replying, but on the cap and rotor - I'm personally big on using factory parts so I say go with a Nissan cap & rotor but thats me. Whatever brand you decide to go with just make damn sure that both the cap and rotor are the same brand. You can run the risk of creating incorrect air gap by using a rotor head thats a different brand than the dist. cap for example.
