Hey ive got my 4agze going (4agte actually) and i was wondering what spark plugs ppl use on theres because i went to the local Auto shop and they cant find the GZE in any of there books..even under the import section.
A part number would be great too.
thanks.

i use NGK BCPR6EY (Y meaning V-groove) plugs in my gte gapped at .8mm
some people use the 7 heat range (colder plug), might try them myself next time i get some seeing i have upped the boost.

I've tried many, and found Toyota PK20R8 plugs to be the best (they're actually made by Nippon Denso, just repackaged in Toyota boxes).
They are a platinum plug, and are only around $45 a set from toyota dealers, are really hard to foul due to the fine diameter electrode, and last longer than your motor will 
Whatever plug you choose, make sure you gap them to no larger than 0.8mm, particularly if you run decent boost.
Cheers

Surprisingly, not all parts are expensive from dealers (just most of them  )
Normal steel plugs (NGK BCPR6EY etc) are only about $2.50 over the counter at nissan dealers! Must be their huge buying power from the manufacturers compared to your local auto parts store.

My preference is NGK V groove, 1 colder, non resistor, .8mm, and avoid the platinum. Just what I've found, is all!

PK20R8 plugs are actually the recommended plugs for the 4AGZE. $45 is cheap though; my mate paid $80. What dealership was that?
