^+1. No reason to change plugs or wires.

I saw a set of NGK Iridiums for $7.50 a piece, google it up. As for wires, where are our wires anyways? Can't seem em under teh mass of plastic. ._. You probably don't haveta change the plugs (Nissan recommends your first tune up at 107k miles) but if you are paranoid like me you will prolly change them at 50k.

We dont have spark plug wires, we have coil on plug ignition. The coil packs sit over every plug.

BTW guys I just melted the grounding starp on cyl # 5 running my car at the track. Car only had 53K miles on it, and the plugs all looked like $hit when I pulled them. My car has a perfect 13.1 A/F and tune, and still I had a spark plug fail. I would not listen to Nissan on the 105,000 mile recommendation, mine failed, check yours. BTW I put in NGK iridiums and the cars runs much better. Over the past few months my car has been runnign slower at the track I attribute this to this spark plug going bad for who knows how long, it finally gave up on me last weekend. Raining today so i cant run, but probobly next week I will be shooting for 12's NA. BTW car ran 13.3 running very sluggish so I guess its not to bad But it only trapped 104 from my usual 106/107 and in better weather

Geez, yeah my car has been feeling a bit slower. Mainly what i'm noticing is a drop in fuel economy. Im hoping plugs, and o2 sensors will fix that.

I didnt go to Cecil I went to Capitol-little slower track, but I can still go 12's there. A Z up there that I have beat numerous times on the street was running 13.0 @ 105 so you know my car is running like $hit when hes beating me given the same 60ft BTW if you wanna see the slow run, check the in car vid link in my sig-you can see my car dies up top.....
