cheap copper core plugs is not a bad thing. spark plugs are one of those "if it aint broke..." kind of things. platinum plugs are great for the change interval but have no advantage in performance. dual electrodes are a bad idea unless the engine was designed for them(like some toyotas). think of this, moving the center electrode 1mm in the wrong direction can cost you 1 hp. that is most especially the case with nissans ga16de engine. mike kojima tested all the popular brands of plug and found that they all lost hp compared to the stockers. they might not have all lost, maybe just some, but none gained on the ngk R plugs with the V groove. that V groove works, it make the spark fatter. a dual electrode only sparks on one side.
that is prob not the problem, but wouldnt you kick yourself if it was?
