Hi guys and gals,

Hope all your SX's are treating you well!

Mines due for a oil change, diff and engine and i would also like to change the sparks plugs. I want Iridium sparks plugs, maybe Ngk's?

Can anyone supply me with Iridium spark plugs or know where i can get a set?

Your quick response will be appreciated as i'm planning on doing the oil change this week.

PS. I'm in Cape Town

I'll never use platinum plugs in a turbo car, either normal electrode or iridiums

thanks for the reply Lindt

I was just doing some research now, seems like iridium ngk's are the best of both worlds (meaning they last longer because they are harder and turbo cars seem to like them)

where did you manage to get a set of platinum plugs?

do you have to import iridium plugs for a ca18det motor?

i'm going to phone around today and see what i can find a set.

Hi Charlvdw,

i managed to find Autolite XP3923, Irdium plugs, would they work in my nissan? R80 a plug.

You help will be greatly appreciated

R80 a plug is not bad for iridiums ,but i dont know this make.
I like to stick to something i know like NGK or Bosch.
Just make sure that your gap is set in the ,7mm range.

Do you think it will fit, i'm currently using NGK BCPR6ES-11

Stick with the NGK,s copper
NGK BCPR6ES -11
NGK BCPR6ES -8

Just make sure the gap is ,7mm -,8mm

If you realy want iridiums check the rezlo store, I think they about R120 each.

But like I say the ngk copper will do the job
