NGK #4045 PFR6A11 Premium Platinum Plug....Do a p/n search for either the ngk 4045 or the pfr6a11

What's the nissan part number on those plugs? I might be able to source them where I work..

I can source the 1p116 plugs, the 58s16 plugs are not avail to me...

The only difference between the PFR6A-11 and the PFR6G-11 is the tip configuration. The A and the G.....

Anyone know if the A is better/worse than the G firing tip??????

Would it be safe to use the "G" configuration vs the A???

Is the G newer than the A??

Why would you use platinum plugs? Platinum sucks for turbo motors. Just get some standard NGK Copper plugs. They are $1.67 each and work perfect.

1) This is all in the sticky'd information.

Autolite AP3924. I used those for years until the base gas station figured out I wasn't buying those $12 a pop NGKs.

It's in the sticky. Just use the copper plugs. They're plenty good for stock HP levels.

Do the platinum plugs blow out faster ? why don't you guys recommend them ?? as every tuning shop over here says " run platinum plugs, and bp 98 " ? Would the standard copper ones last at 14 pound and getting down to 11.1 fuel ratios ?
