hey everyone, just wondering if anyone else with a NA Ka24de has at least swapped to some new brand spark plug wires? barely going to do my first tune-up to my s14 and i wanted to buy some, just don't know what brand is best for our cars. My older brother recommended NGK ones, but i was hoping for some wires colored RED as my Engine bay theme is going Red. Thanks!

NGk would do best but since you want red, you can try to search for MSD or Nology spark plug wire set.

I have NGK's on my ka, but ive never had anything besides it. So I wouldnt even know what bad wires would feel like, if theres noticeable difference besides improper firing.

I dropped in some denso wires.

What wires should I use on an SR20 red top/s13 black top?

I think I need to change my spark plugs as I'm having trouble starting my car. I may have a bad spark plug. I've been asking for recommendations from friends of what brand I should buy for replacement. One suggested denso spark plug wires? Based from your experience, how was it? How about the price? Thanks!

I put cheap pep boys plug wires in my car after I broke my NGKs, idk if its related to the problem but my ignition coil overheated a couple times. (this was on a 1300 mile drive though)...
