What's up with that , anybody else notice this?

Thats strange, I'm looking through my field service manual right now and it does show to replace spark plugs at 105k miles, but doesn't say anything about the Nismo has to been done sooner at 60k. Also, just says to replace with iridium-tipped plugs and gives the specs for the gaps.

i have 2016 nismo and cannot for the life of me find what the gap is on it - could someone help me out with that spec... Thanks.

Also, anyone have experience with adjusting the gap to anything other than the OE spec? If so what did you change it to and what was the result?

Everything on the car is OE so I am guessing OE spec gap is sufficient but love to hear about it if not.

According to 2016 FSM Nismo grade:

Standard Plug: Denso FXE24HR11

Gap (Nominal): Standard: 1.1 (0.043) Unit: mm (in)

Limit: 1.3 (0.051)

Thank you - exactly what I needed.

I did not go with the Denso. I got the NGK Ruthenium HX LKAR8BHX (91784). I will post this question in a thread but while your eyes are on this.... Pro's/Con's - opinions?

Thanks in advance.

I tried NGK and DENSO. I saw ALOT less P0300 during cold start up with the DENSO's

Thanks in advance.

As good as NGK are, and past experience on other vehicles, I have heard/read many times, that the Denso are the better option for our Vehicle.

Unless a SP brand is known for failures etc., you probably wont notice a difference on a DD.

As for causing codes, I am not aware on any issues on a N/A DD.

My Murano has Denso's and that vehicle doesn't miss a beat. (replaced them at 60K miles and still looked like they can go another 60)

I've heard that many times about the longevity of Denso plugs.
