Hi all. Walked into Halfords yesterday and asked for 6 spark plugs for my 300zx NA. Should have seen the look on my face when the nice lady said i wouldn't have a lot of change out of £100 :shock:

 

Does anyone know if there's anywhere i can pick them up cheaper?? Are they cheaper in the states as i'm off there in a couple of months?

 

Cheers

Not that I know of me dad can get hold of most spark plugs trade and they still came in at around £14 each so I bought the NGK iradium racing plugs think they was about £90 for the 6

Cheapest ones from halfords for the TT are £16:95 each mate... :shock: think you would be better off getting some state side ;)

You could try http://www.sparkplugs.co.uk, you can get 6 NGK iridiums for just over £50 there including delivery.

i just got 6 denso iridiums of ebay £50 :dance: worth putting a bid in f**k paying £16 each for standard plugs :mad:

coutesyparts.com get some other stuff while your on, the plugs are equivlent to about £40.

cheers for all the help guys. one more question. are the plugs the same for the tt as the NA?

na plugs are different to tt plugs. Mine are platinum tiped NGK and have been in the car (1990 na) since it was imported over 4 years ago. Priced up platinum tipped from a motor factor recently and they were about £14 for 4 - so not super expensive as first thought. Every year I take the plugs out, admire them and then put them back in. I tried Iridium ones once but they didn't make any difference, and after a while looked worse than the platinum ones - so they went back in...

You need 6 though for a Z :D

...get away... 6... well, that explains a lot...

 

Went to college in Preston the year that they turned it from Harris College to Preston Poly - so there's a clue to my age, and a blight on my counting ability?

Cheapest ones for the TT are about £1.50 each from Halfords (coppers) work really well to

Just found this link to the 300zx 'specials' page. Not sure if they're much cheaper but quite a selection.

I got a set of Denso from my mate that owns CarLines in Bolton.

£6 each for High temp running ones. Fora Twin Turbo tho I am sure they do them for N/A.

 

Thats the cheapest you'll find me thinks...Zack (zevens) got a set of them too on my recommendation.

 

Let us know if interested as gotta be cheaper even with postage!

Job of a spark plug? Produce a spark to ignite the charge

 

Thats all it does! How can putting copper plugs in the engine damage it? If anything putting a copper plug in is a handy 'weak link in the chain' to have, especially if you are tuning to the limits...
