you can get oem or oem replacement parts at auto stores normally. Some sites sell better plugs i.e. pdm-racing and other sites like this.....

Funny, the Bosch plugs in my 240SX work just fine. &nbsp;Except when I had a fuel problem, the engine's always been smooth and powerful with them.

The one thing that does set Bosch plugs apart is that they operate at a lower voltage, hence they're more friendly to a weaker ignition system, and docile engines like the KA.

I'm going with NGKs next, but the country your plugs were made in really doesn't matter, as long as the quality is good.

it doesn't matter who your plugs are made by.. &nbsp;as long as they are OEM replacements you will notice no difference

NGK copper plugs are what came in the S13, NGK platinums came in the S14. &nbsp;platinum plugs last longer, copper plugs spark better..

I personally run NGK V-power copper plugs, and accel 8mm wires.

stock plugs/wires are NGK...so if you just want OEM stuff....you can either buy NGK stuff from the parts store(shucks, etc.) or buy the OEM stuff from the dealer...whichever is cheaper.

if u r going to change them then upgrade them.....
for the price u can get something a little better
thats IMO atleast
i am personally running the Bosche +4 and Magnacor 8.5mm

noticed a little bit more torque or throttle responce

you noticed torque and throttle response because you changed plugs, not because the +4's do jack squat. &nbsp;I'd consider it an upgrade to get rid of the +4's.

Magnacore wires are nice but overkill for the stock ignition system unless you need every last bit of RF suppression. &nbsp;The stock 7.5mm wires are fine.
