I'm looking at changing my plugs soon and found a Canadian site that has the NGK Iridium plugs. They list them for $9.40 a plug with shipping and GST it comes to $68.62

The site is: www.clubplug.net has anyone heard of or used this site?

 

1st I've heard of them
I notice that they have a CDN site though...

 

Why buy online when PartSource or AutoValue has them for 2 plugs for $10? These are platinum btw...

 

My thoughts on changing the plugs. Set aside a small nest egg and get it done by the stealership. Chances are it will be the first and last time you do it.
Saves a lot of time and it will be done right. I have 105,000km on my coupe and will change them out at 160,000km probably be the last time unless I decide to drive it till 320,000km. Cheers!

 

I am going to get the spark plugs changed real soon too because I have been having some performance issues. Also I am getting approx 430km a tank, is this real bad? Oh and should I give the pulstar a try, NGK or OEM?

Thank you

 

^that's about what I get in mixed driving. How do you know your plugs are faulty and what are your performance issues?

 

I called Partsource and Canadian Tire and they don't carry NGK plugs for our cars. The only one they had in stock was Bosch or Champion. I asked if they can ordered the NGK plugs and how much and they said it can take 2 days to 3 weeks and they don't know about the price. 2 plugs for $10, that's the Bosch 4 Platinum plugs not NGK

The parts department at the dealership wants $16.99 a plug and UAP Napa is selling them for $16.94 a plug.

Nismog35driver - OEM plugs are NGK

 

+1..
Have you tested the plugs?
How many miles on them?

 

What are your driving habits like?

 

So the NGK iridium spark plugs are the same as OEM?

 

I had this thread up a few days ago about performance drop after about 20-30 mins drive

- slower throttle response
- shifts aren't as smooth (but not harsh)
- a lot of heat from underneath the car (coolant temp is fine)

One member suggested checking the spark plugs. I don't think I have changed them since 2003 and the car now have 64000km on them. Haven't tested them but I was thinking it wouldn't hurt to change them.

Really want to try Pulstar but heard that it doesn't last long and a lot have been using NGK iridium plugs.

Thank you

 

Not sure how I can describe this but definitely no Ms Daisy

I do push the car a bit sometimes but really into that jerky and fast sudden acceleration.

How much HWY vs City driving do you do in a typical week?

 

I would question whether these are symptoms of bad plugs. It probably won't hurt to change them but I'm not confident it will fix what you're reporting.

Sounds like a 7 wire kit might fix at least 2 of the 3 issues if you don't have them now.

 

I would say about 50/50. 50 for school which is usually city roads , 4-5 days a week (4-5 difference of skipping or not) .
