Changing VK45DE M45 Spark Plugs..Found a Link

[jallow33]

I saw the sticky for the VQ35DE M35 instructions on how to change the plugs, but I also found a link for the M45 Owners as well in case its needed. Not sure if it applies for the 03-04 years

I tackled the job this weekend and I referenced this, took about 45 mins

Typically with these engines, it's important to use NGK plugs with no substitutions on these engines!

Thanks for the link.

Indeed, I went with G power Platinum NGK, $50 shipped from Ebay

Was told V Power, G Power, or Iridium should be fine

I used that same link to guide me.

I used the NGK Laser Platinum plugs (PLFR5A-11).

You will definitely need several extension lengths and universal joint sockets, because plugs #8 and 7 are a b*tch to get at.
The tip to use a short 1-2 foot rubber hose as an extension to hold the plug as you're screwing them in is money!!!!

I thought I had majorly fracked up when I was torquing down the coilpack bolt and the head broke off,, guess i don't know my own strength-LOL....had to get a bolt extractor, man that took a while....able to find a replacement bolt and eventually good to go!
