im replaceing my spark plugs and searched for replacments but your sticky about usdm crossovers didnt work for me, every place around here i went to gave me diferent plugs then what were in my motor and no one can use NGK's part numbers in their system they all just wanna know what kinda car for their search so i used CA18ET 200sx 1985 and still they were the wrong plugs so i called NGK and they said they dont make them anymore so they recommended the iridium plugs and decided to give me a free set if i put their sticker on my car (we did this for them on Bam's limo on Viva la bam when he raced against his lambo) so i just wanna know if anyone else is using those and if its a good idea

ngk bcpr6-11

don't sweat what car they're for, go to an auto parts place that sells ngk plugs and tell them you want ngk bcpr6-11 spark plugs, four of them, and they can get them. if they get all confused without know what car it is to first look it up in their system they're just retarded.

in theory, you can get whatever is litsed for the ca18de but this is what I'm using.

well every place around here is retarded i guess because no one will go by NGK's part #s. I would never run platinum in any turbo motor. and no one had heat range of 6 for the ca18de. so it looks like im going with the iridiums. Im running stock boost on a sr20 t25. and like i said NGK themselves recomended them but i trust you guys a bit more as for you have CA's and have driven them.

Nissan uses platnium on all their turbo engines, don't used not platnium, I know for some reason Mitsubishi will very good with non-platnium.

Go to the Nissan dealer or any other store and ask for 4 spark plugs for a Nissan z32 1990-1996 twin turbo.Also, some people have used the ca18et plugs.

Good luck,PULSAR GTRRafi

Sorry, bad English lol,

I meant to say, Nissan uses platnium on their turbo engines, I am using the plugs of a 1990-1996 Nissan 300zx twin turbo they are laser platnium, they are about 20 dollars Canadian each.

Mitsubitchi uses non platnium on their turbo cars and they run fine but when switching to platnium the car will barely idle and it won't rev good.

But I would definitely use platnium / iridum.

Good luck,

yeah thats wierd i hear nothing but bad things with platnium. also sounds to me like they would run hotter then copper and that would be a bad thing since i upped my AR from 48 to 80
