NGK 2271 Spark Plug

NGK Laser Platinum Spark Plug for OE-Style Ignition

The NGK Laser Platinum Spark Plug is built for drivers who want a direct-replacement ignition component with OE-level construction and consistent firing performance. This NGK spark plug uses a platinum center electrode, a nickel ground electrode, and a 0.044 in. pre-gap to support stable ignition in the applications listed below.

Compatible with select Nissan 240SX and Nissan Maxima models, part number 2271 is a practical choice when servicing the ignition system on vehicles that call for NGK PFR5C-11 specifications.

Key Features

• Laser Platinum design with a platinum center electrode tip
• Copper core center electrode for efficient heat transfer
• Standard ground electrode configuration with one ground electrode
• 0.044 in. pre-gap for the listed applications
• 5,000 ohm resistance
• 14 mm thread diameter, 0.75 in. reach, and flat seat design
• 5/8 in. hex size for standard spark plug service tools
• NGK part number 2271 / PFR5C-11

Product Details

NGK is a long-established OE supplier with broad coverage across domestic and import vehicles, and the Laser Platinum line reflects that OE-focused approach. This spark plug is engineered around the listed specifications, including a non-removable nut terminal, nickel ground electrode core material, and a manufacturer heat range of 5. For service work on the 1992-1994 Nissan Maxima and 1994-1998 Nissan 240SX, part number 2271 provides the correct style of replacement when the vehicle calls for this NGK configuration.

This part cross-references Hayden 2271 for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Hard starting caused by worn spark plug electrodes
• Misfire conditions from degraded ignition performance
• Rough idle related to inconsistent spark delivery
• Reduced fuel economy from aging ignition components
• Service replacement needs on OE-specified Nissan ignition systems

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s required plug specification before installation, including thread diameter, reach, seat type, and pre-gap. Use the listed 0.044 in. gap only if it matches the application requirements, and inspect the ignition system for worn wires, coils, or contamination before installing the new plug. Follow the manufacturer’s service interval guidance for the vehicle.

Quality Assurance

NGK manufactures spark plugs to OE standards and supplies ignition components for a wide range of automotive applications. The Laser Platinum line is backed by NGK’s long history in ignition engineering and production consistency.
