Looks like Denso use the same plugs for the VQ25DD, VQ30DD and VQ35DE.

Thanks

Hi, I got my plugs from Andrew at Kudos Motorsport here on SAU. Genuine Nissan plugs (NGK) at a great price.

Make sure you're getting the right ones.

Cheers

If you do the crossreferencing like O2bfit has done, you would go:-

NGK LFR5AQP (Platinum 4 tips) => DENSO IKH16 / VKH16 then => NGK LFR5AIX-11 (Iridiums)

the later NGK's being a fair whack cheaper... I'd pose the qn to NGK, the only difference is maybe the Iridiums would need to be changed more regulary??

Just curious, at how many km did you change plugs or recommended to change at?

Cheers

Not sure on the NGK but here is the Denso spec link

Just spoke with NGK Australia. Although they list a LFR5AQP, they do not stock it. And they said there is no 'equivalent' plug in the range. Interesting as they also have a LFR5AP-11 plug available... would love to know what people have put in their VQ30DD motors ... and what they gapped them to?

The stock plugs are supposed to be good for 100,000km. Had mine checked at approx. 95,000km during a minor service and the mechanic said they still looked fine.

New plugs going in at next service.

Make sure they look like this below. NGK LFR5AQP

Sorry for dragging up an old thread but it didn't give a defiinite yes or no to the question. Has anyone used the LFR5AIX-11 in their 300GT?

NGK gave me a very reponse to my question on the replacement

LFR5AQP is a 4-ground electrode plug with a 1.70mm spark gap.

To go to Iridium the only option is a single ground electrode type plug.

LFR5AIX-11 is the best option we can offer. It has the same thread dimensions, however is a single ground electrode design plug with a 1.1mm spark gap.

The only issue is the projection of the plug into the combustion chamber.

LFR5AQP had a total projection from the end of the thread of 3.5mm.

LFR5AIX-11 has a projection of 7.1mm, meaning it will protrude into the cylinder an extra 3.6mm.

Does this give enough clearance?

Just to close this off for future reference; I contacted Nissan Japan and their response was to only use the LFR5AQP plugs in the VQ30DD.

Concerning VQ30DD engine, high-pressure air-fuelmixture is injected

directly into a cylinder, and the stress of a spark plug increases

accordingly. We performed durability test with specified plugs.

We do not recommend you to use other plugs than designated ones since we

are unable to guarantee the performance and safety.<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;">

Don't want to make a new thread, so just wondering if anyone actually uses the LFR5AIX-11 for their 300GT? The price for 1 of the LFR5AQP which I can only find from Nissan is the price for 6 of the LFR5AIX-11

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
