*SLAP*

ok now that i got this done... um ok so you take out the old spark plugs, and then you take your new ones, and make sure they are gapped properly (gapping tool!!!) and then you take your new plugs and screw them into the engine using a spark plug socket. i tighten them enough that when it starts to get hard to tighten them, i try a quarter turn more.

what kind of ngk's did you get?

you would do best to go with a platinum plug with your engine. copper would make a hot spark and you could be prone to detonation and "pinging". the platinum is a colder spark, which would probably be best for your GSR
