I have NGK’s and like 'em, and I think most people here would recommend the NGK’s. ---

Bosh Platniums are awesome in imports just ot Japanese ones… Any european car I would run nothing but but In JDM cars I would only run Champion Copper Plus or Any Grade of NGK. Your going to get better preformance out of cleanly changed out evey other oil change V-powers than 100,000km old Iridiums. Stick with the cheap ones but change them often. ---

I have NGK Iridiums and have ran those for like 20k under easy and hard driving. I dunno, I bought those for my old car couple years back and have transfered them between engines. :lol: only plugs I have ever used Andrew. ---

you can spend stupid amounts of money on plugs I just use the cheap copper ones and dont let the fancy packages get to me…my mechanic says some things are good to get “the expensive ones” but spark plugs arent one of them. One time I put in some irridium ones or something and there was no difference. ---

No I read in my favorite car magazine that the 240 doesnt need sparkplugs because it has a distributer instead… you just need a special rotor for it. ---

I went there looking for a distributer cap/rotor and the parts guys says “Umm, I have to special order this part since it’s a different type of ignition system”… ---

May i please just establish that a gasoline engine MUST have spark plugs in it to run, especially in the 240sx regardless of the distributor, igniter, rotor, wires, front diff fluid level or anything like that maybe your thinking of a coilpack on plug setup ---

Aren’t all KA’s diesel? That’s what the keystone parts catalogue says, it must be right. I looked in all the parts catalogues I have here at PI and I couldn’t find 240SX spark plugs… so they must not exist? [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/best-spark-plugs-for-a-ka/84235.md?page=2)
