In Reply to: Anyone ever heard of NGK uridium(think thats how it spelled) plugs? this guy says they are a step up from platinum.n/m posted by dmontzmax on September 14, 2002 at 14:53:14:

Those plugs say they resist fouling but I have yet to see that as fact.

I buy Platinum plugs for most of my cars just because they seem to last longer. I dont know for sure because I tune my car up once a year regardless.

Some say platinum plugs last 100,000 miles. I think thats BS. You should get a tuneup every year because plugs are not the only things in a tune up.

There is no real advantage using Iridium plugs except that maybe they last longer. Still not 10 times the amount normal plugs do. But they are 10 times the cost!

- another question: I am looking around for plugs. One place I called said they have NGK Plats reg $2.54 and some NGK Plats Laser design (They recommended) for $11.54 what do you guys think? n/m dmontzmax (92 SE) 15:02:36 9/14/2002 (5)
  - I have tried a whole bunch of plugs on my nissans (4 of them) and the best ones are the regular NGK resistor plugs (OEM) Change them every year n/m Dave (91 SE 98 I30) 13:17:19 9/15/2002 (4)
    - That's for a VG engine. VE is much more picky than the VG... I recommend going with some sort of platinum plug, but NGK at $10 each is overkill. nm Matt (93SE) 21:03:41 9/15/2002 (3)
      - I'm using Bosch Platinums right now and I'm able to get good track times with it. n/m Aaron (92 SE Auto) 21:28:23 9/15/2002 (2)
        - I thought general wisdom had it that the (OEM) Plat.Lasers were best? n/m Bman (92 SE) 13:28:07 9/16/2002 (1)
          - They are probably the best... and the most expensive. n/m Aaron (92 SE Auto) 17:41:17 9/16/2002 (0)
