Yeah I was met with the same results. I went to autozone and was gonna pick up some NGK's (i think that's the brand) and I ended up going with bosch. Felt no difference.

P.S. I don't know if I am the only one with the problem, but changing the spark plugs on my Z was a "female dog." All the wire harnesses and stuff in the way and it didn't help when my rachet kept separating from the socket lol.

ahhh your avatar is pricelss, haha, well I changed to NGK iridiums when my car had 17k on it, yeah one of the factory plugs crapped out on me, so I just went with ngk iridiums. Just hit 67k, and since I do drive her pretty damn hard all the time, when I hit 70k, am replacing them with denso iridiums...thats just me though

Maintenance schedule states at 105,000 miles, but I would change it if you feel sluggish.
