    Thanks guys.
    I had a good look at my 4.5 engine today and found the spark plugs. What do I need to remove to gt to the spark plugs.
    Thanks Gene

    Nothing from memory if you have a few extension bars and a uni joint thingy. I might have removed the intake tube but I can't remember.

    Get in and give it a go.
    Try a small length of fuel hose or even garden hose as a plug starter. Put the plug in the end of the hose and locate the hole tgst way.
    The humble tb45 is a piece of piss to change plugs on after upgrading from a vy one tonner with an LS1. The rear 2 plugs on the drivers side up near the booster have a few pieces of skin still attached.

    *Hello,

    I looked up my vehicle a 1997 GU Nissan Patrol 4.5lt and it can up with
    part # BPR5EIX-11.
    However I'm dual fuel and would like to know what plugs do you recommend
    for me.
    Thanks
    John

    Response.

    With gas you actually go one heat range colder, the standard plug is
    BPR5E-11 with the better performance iridium equivalent plug being the
    BPR5EIX-11.

    With yours though the heat range colder options are = standard BPR6E-11
    or iridium BPR6EIX-11. If you use the standard type we recommend that
    you close the gap back from 1.1mm to 1.0mm however with the iridium
    option this can be done but not recommended as the ground electrode can
    be broken off when doing this on these types of plugs as the electrodes
    are so fine.

    I hope this is of help to you.

    Kind regards
