It seems quite cheap and is a Platinum.

Also it has the Japanese length as opposed to the Platinum plugs usually recommended,

I use the copper variant but possibly this is worth a try ...

What do you think?

Cheers ...

I worry about the "cheap" bit. I use the factory recommended PFR7G

[Torques]

Well,

The copper ones are cheap as well, and this is still an NGK plug ...

The tip looks fragile though

[KiwiRS4T]

All copper plugs are cheaper than platinum. What I'm saying is that I worry about getting a cheaper "platinum" plug. They may well be fine but not last as long as the PFR

[Guilt-Toy]

never use a plat plug.

[Torques]

never use a plat plug.

Why not ?

Do you have negative experience with them?

I see what you mean ... I thought of these plugs as an alternative to copper, not the PFR.

GT is a professional tuner, so he will have tons of experience will all types of plugs. However, yeah, he should say why.

My professional tuner asked me to replace the coppers with the factory recommended PFRs to eliminate slight misfire at high revs/load. Haven't heard any downside to PFR apart from cost.

i have always used copper bcpr plugs in my rbs, never had a problem, never payed more than i needed to. why look at anything else when their is such a simple solution and no problem?

Exactly.

Fair enough .. I tried various plugs including multi ground electrode NGK plugs and they all worked.

However this BCPR6EGP plugs seemed interesting since it has the Japanese length and a very thin electrode which helps to ionize the space between the electrode gap (in layman terms makes it easier for the spark to form)

I will give them a try and report back.

I was not questioning GTs experience just interested why he says Platinum plugs are not his preference.
