Like it says, on FleaBay I just bought a set of 6 Denso spark plugs for $39 with free shipping. I was reading a thread about how to change the plugs and noticed some people saying that they paid over $150 for “Stealer” oem plugs. The part numbers are:
Nissan/Infiniti: 22401-JK01D
Denso: FXE24HR11
Auto part stores: 3457
As of this morning, the listing shows 10 sets left so I thought I’d pass it on.
Be careful buying spark plugs.
lots of fakes. Buy from trusted sources. Theres a few ebay sellers selling oem plugs out of china. Its not unconceivable that the sellers are buying from china passing the savings to you.
inspect them compare them to your known oem plugs.
I concur. Some of the feedback indicates they are fakes. Not sure how you can make a fake spark plug but I suppose anything can be duplicated. It may or may not work as well as the real thing. Lots of fake electronics on ebay.
Seller indicates priority shipping. After shipping and ebay fees, not sure how they're making any profit.

Okay, I guess I’ll be the ginny pig on my hap-hazard purchase and thanks to both of you guys for the heads up and link to the comparison of real vs fraud. When I get them, I’ll compare and report back here on my findings.
At Amazon, this plug sells for $19.71 each but having been warned I wasn't convinced just yet.
I compared the physical appearance of the plugs electrodes, terminals and markings.
The electrode looked the same color as the example shown comparing real vs fake in the link shared to me by Jsolo.
The terminal looked the same a the real also.
The markings were very much sharper than the real example so this is the only thing suspect.
Also, every plug was gapped at 0.044 Inch.
You be the judge and tell me what you think but come this weekend, I plan to put them in. My car has the originals according to the previous owner and it has almost 79K miles right now.
