General rule is OEM is best. I have no firsthand experience with those pulse plugs but they come across as very gimmicky to me.

Nissan motors historically prefer OEM NGK spark plugs. I don't know if the MR is as picky as some of Nissan's other powerplants, but I see no reason to switch away from what works. Most people end up going back to basic NGKs after experimenting with different options.

Based on the service manual, the Versa uses Denso Iridium tipped plugs.

Edit:

Standard Type: FXE20HR11Spark Plug Gap: Nominal: 1.1 (0.043)

What they mean I don't know ~_~

Stick with OEM, unless its absolutely neccessary due to insane engine setup.

The first number is the plug model number.

The second number is the correct gap between the electrodes in millimeters and inches.
