oh and guys, usually after seafoaming the car or getting your fuel injectors cleaned, I've noticed people recommend replacing spark plugs.

Is it suggested to reset the ECU after changing the plugs?

Thanks,
Jason

OT: Had it not been so late and on a Sunday (drove to Renton from Vancouver) I might have made the trip to Kent for that one. Ended up at this huge mall with my wife and son, we thought we took a wrong turn and ended up in China. We are not the least bit prejudice but many of the Asian people in the mall were looking at us like 'what the hell are you doing in our mall'. At times it seriously felt like we had entered another country, I have been all across the USA from one side to the other and never have I seen so many Asian people in one place. Did see several slick G's though .

First road trip after new plugs and full tank was about 430 miles (21 mpg), best mpg ever for me but about 95% of that was freeway (which is opposite of usual where 95% is city). Best tank before changing plugs was about 280 miles with half the tank hwy.

So it would seem that the plugs have helped but hard to tell for sure until I run a full tank at 95% city.

What's better? The platinums (cost more) or the iridiums? NGK of course.

Nissan tech I talked to suggested I stick with the laser platinums (Stock #6240) as they are the direct OE plug. I'm sure there are better plugs out there (as Joe suggested) but I was less concerned with HP/performance and more concerned with MPG.
