Car: 1992 SC300 1JZGTE
Plug: NGK Coppers (whatever size they are for Nissan Maximas)
Price: A dollar each, something like that
Comments: I gapped them at .008, don't know who told me to do that, but they work fine, but it breaks up sometimes in the higher gears and higher rpms. I should probably change them out. Oh well.

Car: 1993 SC400
Plug: Pulstar Pulse Plugs
Price: Paid 40 from a guy off here then bought 2 more on ebay for 20 shipped (gotta love the best offer)
Comments: I gaped them at .32, they work good. I noticed an increase in fuel economy. Slightly better lower end and my car doesnt seem to fall on its face at high rpm. I also changed to NGK plug wires and new caps and rotors at the same time. If i had to pay full price of like 280$ for all 8 i wouldnt have gotten them.

Car: 1995 SC400 auto 77k miles

Cost :about 25 dollars each plug
Car had a little more pep. Tires would break loose a little easier when hammering from a dead stop. Pulled better after 3k. mpg improved marginally

CAR: 1992 SC300
PLUGS: NGK G-Power Platinum (#BKR5EGP)
COST: $30 shipped from Ebay
I actually just ordered them. Right now I have the "I'm a cheap bastard" model NGK's in the car.
Did that last year in a pinch. The car calls for platinum's anyway, so I'm redoing it.
Also on the order is a new Toyota cap and rotor and distributor seal ring.

My understanding is Platinum is good for 60,000 miles, and Iridium plugs are good for 100,000 miles. I added wires at the same time. And it did seem to make a difference.
