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.

    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
    • Either the bearing has been installed backwards OR the gearbox input shaft bearing is loosey goosey.   When in doubt, just put in a Samsonas in.
