Oh NGK spark plug wires...where art thou?

[MaDD_Drizzle]

I got a 93' NIssan 240sx Se coupe KA24DE engine.

Ok so i need to get rid of my old spark plugs and spark plug wires...i went to a local autozone and a local advanced auto parts and NEITHER of the 2 carry of will ever carry ...not even order any ngk spark plug wires!

they both have ngk spark plugs but wont sell the wires...

So i looked online and found on ebay the set..(NGK spark plugs and spark plug wires for my model and year for 70 bucks i believe...

The same exact Set they sell for the 94-98 with same parts for only 50 bucks.....(thats 20 bucks less.)

MY QUESTION IS----since the 94-98 has same engine technically it would not hurt my car if i bought the 94-98 spark plugs and spark plug wires right? they would be same size and everyting right?

No. The S14 has one less wire, as the coil is built into the distributor.

Member discount? Or does it just help pay the bills?

[180fan]

cuz it's cheap there for good stuff. although you could always look for cheap stuff that's bad stuff.

[KRUZNBY]

sparkplugs.com has a coupon for NICO members. Do a search and you will find it. I think it is NICO Club, but I don't remember for sure. You can also google for other coupon codes.

Don't get me wrong, I would still buy from them if there was no member discount, so long as it helps the forums. I was just wondering, Honda Tech offers like 10% off for its members for most sponsors.

I have however been checking out the OBX 10.3 mm wires just because they're available in red. Normally I would shun OBX, but they look to be on par as performance wires, but it's the quality of construction I worry about. Any Input?

[MaDD_Drizzle]

i was kinda wondering the same thing man

OBX High Power Performance Spark Plug Wires are the "highest quality" (Remains to be seen) and thickest wires available in today's market. Aerospace silicone outer layer, which protects OBX wires, is able to withstand 600 degrees of extreme engine temperature during competition or daily driving (Big whoop, all silicone jacketed wires can make this claim.). 10.3mm, 6 individually wrapped 18 strand copper core are used to ignite the high combustion process (This is part of the question, I think copper core wires degrade faster). OBX wires enhances maximum combustion and is compatitble with all types and brands of spark plugs. Increase tremendous voltage output for high performance compact engines. Use in conjunction with high power firing spark plugs for maximum horsepower gain. Dyno tested and proven. Increase 5-7 horsepower and greater fuel and engine efficiency at low-end as well as top speed.

Key Features:

10.3mm heavy-duty quality construction 100% silicone double wrap (Sounds good)

6 individually wrapped 18 strand copper core(Copper degrades fairly fast, but their is 6 haha)

Instantaneous maximum combustion(Um... Yeah, most wires do that...)

Dyno tested to improve 15% horsepower than stock wires(Well, they just said 5-7 Hp, a 15% gain over stock would be 23.25 Hp. Seems like someone needs to learn English and math...)

Low resistant(Again with the English)

Fits: All 1991-1998 Nissan 240SX 2.4L all model(Shouldn't that be 89-94? I mean, I guess they could just include the coil wire with all packages, but why pay more if you don't need it?)

Package Included:

Set includes 4 spark plug wires. Brand new in retail box by OBX(Shouldn't that be 5?)

I'm going to stick with the NGK wires from Sparkplugs.com. I checked into OEM Nissan wires, but I'm not willing to pay $89+ for wires when I feel that the NGKs are just as good if not better. The OBX look good at first glance, but I'm sure they'll need replacing after 6,000-8,000 miles of normal driving. The ones I have now were on the car when I bought it, but I checked them, and the resistance goes from 80 ohms on the coil wire up to 126 ohms on the 4th cylinder. The FSM says anything up to 30 ohms is spec.

go with OEM, OEM is the best. Their was a shop that did research on Spark Plug wires and provided back to back dyno runs. OEM always had 1whp over the aftermarket brand including NGK and Nology. In all the results all the aftermarket wires experienced ignition break up in the higher rpms near redline.

[H8tred]

I went ahead and got the NGKs and plugs from Sparkplugs.com. $82 all together shipped. My problem is a deadly hesitation at 2k rpm. So I'm doing a tune up and cleaning and adding some grounding points. I'll go with OEM next time around, I'm just strapped for cash at this point in time, and Sparkplugs.com offers us a discount on top of their already low prices (Searched around for about 3 days, and they indeed do have the lowest prices.). I'm all about a good sponser, so I'll be doing as much bidness with them as I can. Thanks for the help though, and I'm sorry to bring back/Hijack an old thread. At least it shows I'm searching haha.
