October 25, 20196 yr Hello, I am trying to find out what spark plugs I need and what gap is required for 1998 Nissan NV slx pick up ( 1600 cc ) I do not have a manual and have not had much luck trying to find one. Any help would be greaty appreciated.
October 25, 20196 yr This website you can ask by clicking on Feedback left of screen it may help. https://www.coulterpartscenter.com/spark-plugs/1998-nissan-200sx Or ring or go to a Nissan dealer. Nissan 1.6 engines plug gaps e.g. NGK is 0.044". Or I would take one the existing plugs out.
October 25, 20196 yr NGK BKR5E Champion RC12YC If on LPG go one or two heat ranges cooler - beware of NGK, higher number is cooler I.E. BKR6E is cooler than 5 Rest of the world higher number is hotter Use Iridium plugs too - noticeable improvement in mileage and power
October 25, 20196 yr Correction - not all of the worlds plug makers use the same scale Check brand before assuming

You'd need at least 5bhp to be able to feel any seat of the pants difference and new plugs won't do that. There isn't a plug on the market that that doesn't claim increased fuel efficiency and just getting the gap correct will do that.

I doubt it. Ah TVF policeman is back with his usual inane questions, be nice to see some input instead? I can vouch 100% for the HUGE increase in Power Iridium plugs give, my mileage also has near doubled, CO2 omissions are down to Zero, BHP has increased substantially, mid range grunt now has increased, an added bonus has been the house AC efficiency has improved and the kids are doing better in school. - Happy

Sorry that you seem to object to my having an opinion about some very doubtful claims, though. By the way, it's the claim about "noticeable power increases" made by some people by changing to a different brand of plug that are "inane", to use your word.

I have no objection to facts being posted - just post what you believe to be true rather than the "trial" before the facts ????

But it's ok for you to conduct your "trial" and judge me, eh, you don't have any objections to that, do you? What's the word I'm looking for here?...ah, there it is, hypocrisy.

To say that is not 'measurable is "just weird" As said - believe, not believe, could give a FF I'm talking about your "increase in power" claim, that minute difference is not practically measurable or noticeable! What part of that do you not understand? As you've measured the difference, just out of curiosity what would be the specific improvement in fuel consumption figures that you've seen?

Just right Nissan NV 1600 on a piece of paper and show a picture of a spark plug. The only part of pantomime Thai they wont understand is "He's behind you"
