I heard copper plugs run better than platinum, but platinum last longer. Is that true?

[ex-static]

If you plan on changing your plugs often, no point getting platinum.

I change mine every 10,000ks so I just use copper.. works alot better.. and cheaper.

Ill make this list a bit more convenient for you..

1 engine oil. any Fuilly synthectic, i used a semi synthetic and it worked just as well, and is cheaper.. its your call.. change every 5,000ks

2 tranny oil. no sure, get a good rated oil, doesnt HAVE to be nissan brand.

3 rad coolant. make sure you get a good coolant for performance engines, alot of coolant is just coloured water

4 brake fluid. get a high temp rating fluid.. DOT4 possibly? not 100% sure

5 p/s fluid. any power steering fluid will do

6 sparkies. ngk coppers, you can buy them pre-gapped at 0.8m

7 brake pads. bendix ultimates (front caliper is same as 300zx, rears are same as 200sx I beleive)

8 oil filter. any brand, get the same one that fits an RB30 ( for VL, or R31 Skyline)

Just some prices from my last change I did over the weekend for those interested

1. Mobil 1 is about $55. Semi-synthetic ~$32. Check your oil, if its showing any sign of going into oil colour (black) change it.. turbos don't like black oil!

8. About $12 for oil filter

Kmart isn't a bad place to grab oils and the filters cheap. If you can get 20% off auto stuff they have sometimes you're set

Ex, Maybe a silly question but oil change every 500ks or 5000ks
