You won't find these at local auto parts,IDT, probably Nissan dealer

I Imagine you could go to the auto parts store and see if they have plugs for a GTR but I don't know what year to give them.

I thought our cars came with heat range 9?

Spark plugs aren't that expensive considering how much spent with the TT setup. If you can make the switch, it won't hurt.

I've been running GTR plugs since the kit was installed at 22k miles. I'm around 45k now.

Better to be safe than sorry. You technically don't need gauges or a custom tune or upgraded plugs. Does it make it safer to have em? Absolutely.
Makes me feel a lot better when I'm smashin the gas pedal also.. Peace of mind goes a looong way.
Besides plugs aren't that expensive. At this stage of the game no need to skimp out on that part. U should have extra coin lying around for emergency situations anyways.

I think people who don't run gauges have a death wish..

Other way around.

I believe those were the exact same plugs I use to have.

yeah. I just got an email yesterday. NST pulley's and belt if they are off the car and still in good condition and AEM intakes I have buyers waiting on them already. I'll let you know. Mike is usually the one I've been talking to, he sent me a picture of my car torn down. Radiator looked drained, intakes removed, manifold removed, oil cooler removed, front bumper and crash bar removed, that's all I could really see in the pic. I posted it in my build thread.

Ya sounds good. How the heck did u get pics of your car? Nex had pics of his gauges being installed. My car must be like the red headed step child or Sam is mad at me hahaha he did say the motor was back in and they are waiting for the gt3071 to come in and need to finish the GTR intake manifold.

I asked about 50 times. Mike said the guy installing it is balls to the wall right now with it. He had a hard time getting to it without getting in the way. He finally caught the car alone long enough to take a snap.
