Ac Condenser & Spark Plugs

[sc89]

Hey, when purchasing a new AC condenser, is there any brand that's superior? Or ones I should stay away from?

 

Same goes with the spark plugs. I heard the NGK Iridium IX's are really good, but are they really worth the $?

 

running a 98 SE here, going strong @ 170km's!

for the NGK's, i'd stick with the factory recommended NGK FR5AP-10 they are platinum tipped and good for at least 60k (according to nissan maintenance schedule)

 

for the AC condensor, i put a cheap no-name brand in and it's been holding up great for the last 4 years. It still looks new when you look through the grille. What i did though, is put black chicken wire in the grille to stop rocks, which is what punctured my first AC condensor.

Alright sweet, I will look for those plugs for cheap (hard to find, everyone charges me an arm and leg to ship to Canada)

 

The condenser, probably better to find around here since shipping costs will be a ton

 

Is it best to change the distributor cap, spark plug wire and distributor rotor at the same time?

 

Got the vehicle @ 143,000 kilometers, at 171,000 now, and nothing has been touched other than engine/transmission oil changes, timing belt and brakes (tires, oxygen sensors) and the like. No engine or stuff like that though.

 

Im trying to spend the money to tune it up for the summer!

I concour, stick with teh stock ones.

Yes, all at one is the way to go, dont forget air filer and PCV valve.

Did you mean air filter?

 

And what is the pcv valve, is it easy / fast to change? if so i can get a friend to do it for free, thanks
