Nissan Patrol 4x4 (Africa)

Hi there,

Does any know where one can buy after market spark plugs in the Gauteng area for 4.2l SGL. Current wires on mine is 8mm stainless steal high performance wires. Already tried Autozone no success. Any help will be much appreciated.

Cheers
Rudolph

Rud' now you confuse me - the spark plugs should be NGK - BPM6es -- the HT leads going to it should not matter? Any Midas outlet should have - or I prefer to deal with PART MAN [more friendly & informed & "hulpvaardig"] (referring to the Menlyn branches of said instances] (though my discount at Midas is better :-0
Or am I totally misdirected as to the plugs on the 4.2 engine????

According to the Nissan manual, the standard plug type for the carb fed TB42 motor is BP5ES with a gap of 0.8 to 0.9mm. It states that you could also use the hotter BP4ES plug or colder BP6ES or BP7ES. Note that these are not resistor plugs.

Eish, smaak my da was 'n gremlin gewees. Kagiso ek bedoel die "spark plug wires", ok so jy reken by enige midas behoort ek die regte HT wires te kry? Ek het Autozone gebel, hulle het geen HT's vir Nissan Patrol nie. Die beste gaan seker wees om die HT's af te haal en te vat om te "match".

Rudolph - in my "wandelinge" - ja, hulle behoort te hê - Maar ek sou sterk aanbeveel dat jy "Bougie Cords" kry - die bloues of die geles [geles steur bikki op die radio as jy nie suppressors bysit nie - maar jy gaan nounie eintlik rally ry nie - of hoe?
Part Man behoort ook te he - en ek sal bikki in bikki vroetel - iewers is daar 'n plekkie wat die HT drade vir jou opmaak [Bougie]
Sterkte

O-ja, 'Sparxx" - gaan loer hier in: http://www.sparxx.co.za/index.php?cPath=608_185_6195

Dankie Kagiso! Waardeer al die inligting sal hopelik regkom nou.

Hallo Rudolph,

Wat was die skade toe vir die belegging?

Groete

Hallo Marnus,

Sorry ek sien nou eers jou vraag. Die totale skade was R1 715 incl vat.

Rotor = R 127
Cap = R 197
HT Leads R1 096

Nissan vrae vir die Rotor = ~R 680 en vir die Cap = ~R690.

As jy vrae vir die parte maak net seker jy vir hulle die regte enjin spesifikasies gee, points ignition soos ons karre se vir hulle dit is vir 'n TB42S.

Groete,
Rudolph

Would it be better to fit hotter spark plugs when doing more short distance driving? (BP4ES)
