The Nissan Path

Anybody know any good performace spark plugs for the 3.0 pathy im just trying tp get a good idea on which is the best performace ones not the cheap ones thank you I appreciate it

I recently put NGK's resistor plugs in my 87 pathfinder, along with all the complete tune-up parts (rotor, cap, plugs, & wires). i made sure to do my research before, and found out that NGK's are made for foreign cars (and the NGK R's specifically for 87-89 pathfinders). Don't get caught up in buying non-resistor or platinum plugs because you more than likely will have electromagnetic interference/poor running car. Might as well check your spark plug wires to see if the insulation is worn (lead wire, cylinder 1 had the most wear on mine). hope that helps

Thanks yea I went with the ngk v-power plugs I had good experience with these on other foreign cars and there definitly a good performace plig without the high price I appreciate the answer have a good one

NGK is the original equipment for Nissan and all Asian-based cars sold in the US, along with Denso (Toyota's use both Denso and NGK). NGK platinum plugs will work fine and last longer, which is good considering what a pain in the butt it is to get to the #6 spark plug! NGK G-powers (about $3) are good for 60K. and Laser platinums (about $10) are good for 105,000 miles.

You haven't built a custom u-joint extension and welded it together just for that plug? For shame.

I bought NGK iridiums two years ago, and when I pulled them to replace with some cheap NGK coppers (94 truck) the iridiums were almost burnt out...

Copper all the way with these old boats.

I use a 5/8" spark plug tool from Snap-On, which has a 3" extension attached to a swivel and the socket, all in the same 1-piece tool. I attach a 3/8" universal to that and use electrical tape to keep it secured to the spark plug tool. I then use an 8" locking 3/8" drive extension to attach to that assembly. With my ratchet attached to that and held with my right hand, I place my left palm between the engine and firewall to guide the tool down onto the spark plug. The Snap-On spark plug tool mentioned was originally designed for US domestic FWD V6's, like the GM 3800. It works great!

I just use my regular old spark plug socket, on a 6 inch 3'8 extension to drive the new one in, and to break it loose I just attach a U joint with another 6 incher on it.

To be honest, it's really only hard the first time you do it, lol. After that, you know where to feel around for.
