Time to treat the cruiser

[nissanh]

For the first time in my ownership, I installed new DENSO TT platinum spark plugs yesterday (it came with 0.98 mm gap so I installed it without adjusting the gap). While I am there, noticed 4 aftermarket coil packs. Glad I had 3 extra OEM coil packs. Still one missing... Will get that soon. Don't know whether it is the coil packs or spark plugs or both, I noticed a significant improvement in the throttle response. Also, the engine working temperature was reached in very short time (in about 3-4 minutes)


Next coming weekend or two I plan to install OEM brake pads for front and rear even though what's in the truck are quite new but unknown brand. A complete brake flush is also scheduled. Also in the list is OEM fuel filter and rear shocks from Camelbacktoyota.

OEM parts should be a right, not a privilege.

What is the coil pack part number?

I'm interested in what the part number of your spark plugs are?

Note: Factory recommends Iridium spark plugs with gap of 1.0 to 1.1mm new. Max 1.3mm used.

The Denso site shows .44 for the gap. Was that a typo in your post? DENSO SPARK PLUGS

.44 inches = ~1.0mm

Iridium > Platinum. Why did you not use OEM?

I used PK20TT (4504). When I bought it, it had autolight platinum. It did its job (city 10 MPG and 12-13 MPG on highway) so I though denso platinum should be good enough.

Get iridium. NUMEROUS documented issues using anything other than that.

$8 a plug for 120k life is a minimal expense. Your platinum plugs could explain your abysmal mileage.

Treating your cruiser means using OEM or Slee. Anything other than that is a downgrade.

That's debatable. While one of the best service/cutomization companies, there are many amazing aftermarket products for the 100s besides just what slee sells. BIOR, Dissent, Trail Tailor, etc...

If anyone see a "Deal" for Denso or NGK Iridium's spark plugs please post it up. If made by either, vendor isn't a consideration price is.
