The best thing to do is use the search button. There is a ton of info on the topics you mentioned.

Welcome to NICO! As QShip said - we've had a ton of discussions about spark plugs just recently, so the search button will be your best friend. Joe at Infiniti of Scottsdale (http://www.everythinginfiniti.com) or 1-888-216-5328 is a great source for parts. Check out his web site for part prices too...

Be sure when you order NGK's to only get Laser Platinums. Heath is right though, your best bet is to order them from Joe as he's the closest of our 3 Infiniti dealers. Shipping will be close to nothing, and, of course, the price is right.

PFR5G-11 is what you want....

Search ebay for them, in titles and descriptions.... You might be able to pick up a set cheap there.....

I still havent heard back from that one guy (YoshiSakura)... He must not be fond of selling here..... Shame....

By the way... you can download the service manual for your car at http://www.infiniti-techinfo.com for $20 (one day viewing subscription) - be sure to pick up the TSBs while you're there. You probably need high speed internet for this.

Just checked my copies... it'll let you print them at least after it's saved to your hard drive or CD ROM.

Like Wes said - it's good to have disposable pages to get greasy and throw away while you're working on the car.

The full service manual is about 3000 pages (six reams) as I recall. May take a while to print out! :)
