hmm, looks like the resistor is 5k ohms...
compares to the resistance of a 0.8mm air/fuel gap, it is not very much, and on further thought, it may not reduce plug current that much (since the voltage is in the vicinity of 20-40,000 volts)
NGK claim it does not affect plug performance much, but that is in production motors. resistor plugs were introduced to reduce electrical noise that would affect other things like radio reception, when you go past hospitals, and ECU signals...
imagine if holden released a commondore that affected TV reception as it drove past!! they would get their asses sued!! heh heh.
as long as the noise doesn't affect the ECU, it doesn't matter which you use. if you can't hear the noise thru the radio, chances are it won't affect the ECU unless you have sensor signal cables running close to spark plug leads (which you shouldn't ever do anyway!!)
dunno, i might invest in some R plugs in my car and see if i can notice a difference! i'm just abotu to do back to back -S and -Y
comparison...
