Got told on FB group regarding this query, got told that nissan spark plugs are: PLFR5A-11

Can anyone confirm this is OEM?

Seems to be decently priced aswell

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/6-x-Genuine-Spark-Plugs-For-NISSAN-PLFR5A-11-OR-22401-5M015-/222058100259?hash=item33b3b1b623%3Ag%3At7AAAOSwezVWzClK

Get yourself a copy of the 2007 g35 service manual - its listed in there.

The plugs you listed are 2 full steps hotter then OEM - Be careful.

I buy lots of things online, one I don't recommend is spark plugs. Received some once knocked up and in bad shape - had to send back.

Went onto the NGK website and found compatible spark plugs for the 350Z VQ35HR (same engine) and they recommended DF7H-11B, repco also recommended the same ones

Found some other link which stated LFR5AIX-11.

Still unsure which ones to purchase

Bump for this thread.  We have a 3.5L 2007 v36 sedan skyline and looking for spark plugs

DE is regular and HR is direct injection (350z with VQ35HR)

Went to autobahn and there were two options NGK LFR5AIX-11 Irridium @ $25 each lasts 60k and Platinum PLFR5A-11 @ $33 each rated for 100k.  That last plug was to suit 03-07 Nissan 350Z.

Not sure which plug to go for ?

Cheaper one.

You will  probably sell the car before you need plugs again. That's what my crystal ball is telling me.

Otherwise the plug is the same gap and heat range . There is absolutely no way you would notice the difference.

HR is not direct injected.

The direct injected engines end with a DD.  for example VQ30DD, VR30DDTT, MR16DDT, etc

Factory OEM for vq35hr are Iridium - Denso FXE22HR11. Got mine from Nissan, they were $34 each though. Maintenance schedule on these is 170,000km but I recommend replacing earlier.

Confirmation from Fast....

The PL and I guess the LF are for the DE engine which hav different plugs to the HR.

If for the HR motor I would be heading towards the DF7H-11B,  myself.

    • Duncan:- it affect both sides.  Driver side is worse.
    • That seems like a very special issue!  Does it affect both sides? Either way, I would disconnect the driver's side switch and see if it still happens, noting that might require removal of the whole door card which is a bit of a pain (it does on V37 and HY51)  
    • MBS206:- The windows start to slowly open themselves. GTSBoy:- Battery is new since Dec. 
    • I currently have a 2008 370GT Coupe, with the big brakes (Akebeno if I'm correct), and Its coming time to get new pads. Previously, I had a 2003 350GT Coupe with the stock sized brakes, not Brembos. I had custom wheels on it that were pretty open to the brakes, and when I first put the wheels on it, the rims where completely coated with brake dust. A few years after adding the new rims, I needed to change to pads on that car. I didn't do any research, but I told the mechanic of the problem with the brake dust. I also told him I didn't track the car or even drive around the streets harshley. But the dust was an issue. The mechanics changed the pads to a different compound, and the dust was GONE! The other change I noted was that when coming to a complete stop, instead of having to press harder on the pedal as I approached 0kph, I had to actually lift off a little to not come to a hard jerky stop.( My unfounded explanation is they became stickier as they heated by stopping ) Since I got my 370gt with big brakes, I noticed that that as I came closer to stopping, I had to press harder and harder to reach a full stop. I am not talking about hard, just harder. I brought the car in from another state, so when I had a blue slip done, I asked the mechanic what he thought of the brakes, and he thought they were brilliant. The only negative of these pads on the 350GT, was that they squealed when cold. So driving out of a shopping center carpark, it was a little embarrassing, as the brakes squealed, and I am sure people thought that I needed new brakes, when they were actually fresh. I have no idea of what type of compound they were on the 350gt, but whatever it was, I want to get the exact same on my 370GT. They weren't ridiculously expensive, and were replaced at the local JAX (which is no longer open), so I am certain they would be a pretty common big brand, off the shelf type/brand. My current mechanic suggested I need top get the rear pads changed soonish, but he suggested standard Brembo pads. Which I expect to behave the same as the current ones and not like the ones on the 350GT.  I don't think dust will be an issue on the 370GT. With the behaviour I describe above on the 360GT, does anyone have a suggestion of pad material that will act like the change I had done on the 350GT?
