So I'm replacing most of my ignition system and I noticed victoria british sells bosch spark plugs, not NGK. Should I go for the Bosch? If NGKs are better (they're what I've always used), does anyone know where to find them cheap on the net - especially V-power or platinum ones?

I have found it alot cheaper and better performance wise. fif you just buy the normal NGK ones, and just replace them everytime you change your oil so every 3-5k or so... as they are only $3-$4 a spark plug, i change them when i do the regular service on the car...

3-4 dollars a plug. you better find somewhere else to shop for your ngk's if your paying that much. way way expensive!!!

BP6ES for 240's and Roadsters

B6ES for 280's

There's no beating the designed plug. I think Nissan started with the plug and built the engine around it.

If you buy them from Nissan, You get the added bonus of NGK-Nissan joint packaging (oh the little things that amuse my little mind). They come in boxes of 10.

22401-W8916 BP6ES

22401-E6810 B6ES

The old boxes are great. The NGK sunburst, with a big plug, on a background of Red, White and Blue Nissan Motors logos.

Having several Datsuns, I keep them in stock. I think they're less than $2.00 a piece.

Zpeed lives in Australia, by the way

:classic: I agree the std plugs not the split tip . I am running BPR6ES in my 240 and have for years they work the best . I tried Campions no joy. My set of plugs cost $10.14 for the 6 NGKs . I f y ou want to spend more its y our choice , but unnessary.

Hmm... so is there any place on the net with particularly good deals on the BP6ES line?

Also, does anyone have any opinion of ignition coils? I'm replacing the one in my 240 and wondering if there's a better one than the standard bosch model.

Thanks :classic:

I dont think you are going to find these plugs much cheeper than $1.60 ea :tapemouth

Oh well yeah, that's a totally sweet deal. I'm just only finding platinum plugs on the net, except for Courtesy Nissan, which has good prices, but charges more for shipping than for all the plugs combined!

I guess I'm looking for a good vendor that may not exist. I may just have to bite the bullet and get 'em from them. Not to sound cheap or nothin!

yer forgot to say i was in aust, so basically yer US around 1.60-2.00

Korg_geek,

NGK's are pretty common. Check your local parts places and save the shipping costs.
