I cant find the NGK's for a 90 Q anywhere at a decent price? Any suggestions? Where and how much are they, and is there anyplace aside from a dealer or junkyard to find parts for these cars?

Would you guys run the denso Iridiums 5304 (IK20's) For free. They run about $12.99 a piece...

My Buddy has 12 of them and want to get them out his garage.

I know densos are also a good plug..

I would run the plugs the engine designers used to test and operate the engine, unless you are a spark plug engineer and have the capacity to actual MODEL and test other plugs.

We just see so many aftermarket plugs [named brands] that seem to cause problems..........................Free is not free if you make a mistake and have to remove them or repair damages.

$100 worth of plugs every 4 years is $25 per year less than the cost of an oil change..................not even 1% of the $2500 in annual mainteance and repair cost!

Given Jeff Williams first hand (& trusted) experience, I wouldn't trust/try anything but the NGK

These are BOSCH plugs...... He probably bought these plugs at Autozone....

FYI Bosch sends there B grades to Autozone / Advanced Auto.

I would never run Bosch in ANY of my cars. (Denso and BOSCH 2 differnt worlds..)

I ran a BRAND NEW o2 sensor form Bosch in my 3000gt and I got 17 miles to the gallon. I put in a Junkyard Denso 02 and got 29.....

Denso makes alot of OEM stuff for Toyota / Mitsu.

I will let you guys know.

But the same principle applies. Denso are designed for Toyota engines, NGK for Nissan.

Do some more reading here on Q45tech's posts before not using the OEM parts designed for the car.
