We currently carry NGK wires, but are constantly getting requests for a high performance line. Please help us decide what brand to bring in!

NOLOGY!!!

Thanks Natasha!

I like the NGK's you guys sell, done me very good.

Why no Magnacor? Are they no good.

I suppose I would have to say nology as well of the 3.

Do you have NGK wires for the 93 dohc 240sx? For some reason when I was on your site it goes from 1989 to 1995 nothing in betwen. Also I'm goign to be turboing in 2 weeks and need colder plugs?Fiz said ngk be7k something like that all I saw were BE5's. Any ideas thanx. Need plug wires and plugs

If I can get a good price on some Magnecor's, I'd be buying!

I was'nt aware MSD made wires for us? If so, I'll take a set for my DE.

IMO Nology is just too much money for something that barely helps. Magnecor seems to be the best choice of those listed. Plus Nology wires are annoying to install.

Got any deals going on wires right now?I need a set for my turbo KA 93 dohc

Post by **underpowered** » Tue Aug 16, 2005 6:50 pm

ngk blue. the best. unless otherwise showoff name brands.

Post by **sparkplugs.com** » Tue Aug 30, 2005 2:58 pm

No current specials on wires, but Nico members always get a discount, just use "nicoclub" at check out.

Post by **DOOM240sx** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 2:18 pm

Personally ide stay with the OEM wires...they are proven, no guessing games. I got a good deal on them from Courtesy Nissan in TX.

DOOM out.

what would be our price on ka24de s13 ngk shipped? Can't find it on your site...I'm tired maybe it's just me......

Post by **sparkplugs.com** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 8:42 am

what year is your s13?

Post by **Florida240sx** » Sat Sep 03, 2005 7:40 pm

93 thanx.

pt# nx96

use "nicoclub" as coupon code at checkout for discount.

Was ordering the ngk wires but shiping is so high figured I'd get some plugs as well. But you only have listed is the stock plugs. I need 1 step colder ngk plugs. Beleive it is bkr6e something like that.

Post by **sparkplugs.com** » Tue Sep 13, 2005 3:47 pm

1 step colder than stock would be:BKR6EIX-11 (Iridium IX)BKR6EGP (GP Platinum)BKR6E-11 (V-power Copper)

I ordered my NGK wires today because you had the part number all ready in this thread. I am lazy

Good work, sparkplugs.com!

Post by **PoorManQ45** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 4:49 am

sparkplugs.com guy, I have a question for me if you don't mind.

Can you explain the Bosch +2 and +4 plugs to me. I just can't figure out how they would work. I've talked to a mechanical engineer about it and he can't figure it out either.

The problem I have with the design is that electricity is most likely to take the path of least resistance, not two seperate paths with varying resistance. I don't see where the second prong comes into play.

The only thing I could think of is that the two/four prongs switch off ever other/few firings due to the fact that one heats up causing the resistance to increase thus making the other prong the lower resistance path which would cause the spark to use that prong, then it'd switch back when that one heated up.

Anyone have any input on this?

Also, this isn't related to nissans, but have you heard about the problem with OEM sparkplug wires on the PT cruiser? Do you have any input about this as to the cause?

Thanks for taking time to help me out

You are absolutly correct in your reasoning. Some combustion chambers (such as rotary motors) require the spark plugs have the ground electrode placed on the side of the center electrode instead of below as a traditional plug is. This type of firing tip tends to erode faster than a typical plug, and as you know, when the gap is too great between the center and ground electrodes, it will cause misfiring. Thus, by having more ground electrodes you extend the life of the plug in that particular engine.

Each manufacturer has their own version or line of multi-ground plugs - Bosch's is called +2 (dual-ground) and +4 (quad-ground). Many people sometimes get the idea that because there are multiple electrodes the plug will spark at multiple locations or last super long. But, as you already stated, electricity follows the path of least resistance. so it will only spark from one tip at a time. Ultimatly, a multi-ground plug will not perform better and may perform worse than a traditional plug, unless the engine is designed for the use of a multi-ground plug.

I haven't heard about the OEM wires having a problem in the PT cruiser. We have a custom wire set we created just for the PT Cruiser and SRT-4. Some of the manufacturers made all 4 wires the same length, but the distance between the two middle cylinders is significantly shorter, so when we made the custom wires, we had the two middle wires made shorter so that there isn't any extra wireage looping around. So if you are having a problem with the OEM wires, there are others available.

Good info.

We've been preaching against the use of multi-tip spark plug "gimmickry" all along here at NICO and this just confirms it.

When a Bosch AND a Champion plug engineer BOTH tell you NOT to use their plugs in your engine, that's all I need to hear. They're simply not able to endure the hostile combusion chamber of an engine like the VH, and can actually break off and cause irreparable damage.

Greg: sorry I didn't clarrify. the Bosch plugs did not go in the Q45. They went in the PT Cruiser. Hence why I asked about the wires. It has a slight miss, it was there before the plugs were change, which is why we changed the plugs. Unfortunately it's still there, but its severity was reduced a bit. I checked out the PT specific forums and they all mention the OEM wires going bad around 30k miles. I just wanted to see if sparkplug.com knew of this problem. But hey, we go 42k out of the wires, so we're happy.

Post by **sparkplugs.com** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 12:50 pm

oooh, no, i'd take the multi-ground plugs out of there. esp if its an '03 or '04. Our site has a list of champion, denso and ngk plugs recommended and none of them recommend a multi-ground plug.

Post by **AZhitman** » Wed Oct 19, 2005 3:43 pm

Multi-ground plugs are for ricers and morons.

Throw them in the trash.

Post by **PoorManQ45** » Thu Oct 20, 2005 7:36 am

hmm... I wonder. If the plugs do fail and cause damage to the engine, wouldn't Bosch be directly liable?
