I got mine from Advanced autoparts.

They are the stock NGK platinum ones. Total came to $42. (used a few coupons. faiz23 has a thread here abotu the coupons. But your ebay link is good too I guess)

Here's a good DIY to change out your spark plus and the guy explains it really well.

Also he doesn't remove the plenum.

If you ever plan to change the valve covers, use this guide:

" Plugs, Oil/Filter, Diff Oil, Trans Flush or Drain, PCV, Intake Air Filter " I'm letting u guys know now. If u flush ur trans w that many miles and there are metal shavings and worn fins in ur converter or transmission ur gonna push that dirty fluid thru the valve body or lodge a piece of metal in a seal n ur gonna hate urself.

It's guaranteed money for me when someone goes to grease monkey or jiffylube and even our dealer n gets a flush. I see their car w issues within the month n they all say I just had it flushed.

I don't offer flashes here bcuz It's not safe. It's a quick way to create problems u don't have. We drain n fill , and if ur converter is still dirty u can drill n tap it so u can drain it and plug it like the fittings on the outside of ur trans case. Then fill it w the tranny once ur buttoned up thru the fill tube in neutral.

Yes I have it done in my car. No I didn't get a million HP but the response cooling n burn equalize a curve ur a/f monitors are already programmed to try n make happen.

And use a higher heat index when buying a replacement plug. Spark plugs allow heat to escape which is a good thing.
Im unsure on the location for pointing the open end of the plugs.

In order to properly index your plugs, you'll need to buy more than just 6. Indexing involved pointing the open end of the spark plug at the intake valve...if you can figure out where that is exactly. Since you can't randomly stop the plug when you get to that spot and not avoid undertorquing it, you'll need to buy more plugs, and hope you can return the ones you didn't use. I've done it on my Mustang, but those plugs were $3 each so buying 16-24 plugs was cheap.


I just recently replaced my plugs in my G35 at 111K miles, and the old ones looked great. I immediately noticed a gain of 1-2MPG since then. I had no oil in the plug holes, and my PCV looked good when i removed it to change the plugs. I cleaned it, and reused it.

I've also done trans drain and fills every 30K miles. I buy the oil off Ebay, and usually takes 4 quarts each time. Fluid comes out clean, but a little darker than the fluid going in.
