Denso Iridium VK series is the TOUGH series which has longer life VK seires. IK series is just the normal iridium series. The difference is just that the ground electrode has a small platinum disc to reduce wear on the ground electrode thus increasing life of the plug.
I think its better for you to use Denso 20 heat range as 16 is a bit too hot and not good for full throttle and high rpm as it is more prone to detonation or engine knock. Recommended plug is denso 20 heat range anyway which is a NGK 6 heat range.
So you can choose VK20 or IK20. I'm currently using IK20 and got a 6 pack of VK20 waiting once this IK20 give way. I think my IK 20 has done about 70,000km.
Ultra fine 0.4mm center electrode is the size of the center electrode on the sprak plug.
What I mentioned is the spark plug gap which is the gap between the center electrode and the ground electrode. in the nissan owner's manual recommended is 0.8mm-0.85mm.
Be VERY VERY careful if you are to adjust the gap for the iridium plugs as the iridium center electrode is VERY fine and VERY easily broken!!! Once bent or broken you can throw the plug in the bin. I have broken 2 plugs in 2 different occasions. If the mechanic is going to do it make sure he is aware and he pay if he breaks it.
Got this from NGK website:
Spark Plug Installation Instructions
3. Gapping
Since the gap size has a direct affect on the spark plug's tip temperature
and on the voltage necessary to ionize (light) the air/fuel mixture, careful attention is required. While it is a popular misconception that plugs are pre-gapped from the factory, the fact remains that the gap must be adjusted for the vehicle that the spark plug is intended for. Those with modified engines must remember that a modified engine with higher compression or forced induction will typically require a smaller gap settings (to ensure ignitability
in these denser air/fuel mixtures). As a rule, the more power you are making, the smaller the gap you will need.
A spark plug's voltage requirement is directly proportionate to the gap size. The larger the gap, the more voltage is needed to bridge the gap. Most experienced tuners know that opening gaps up to present a larger spark to the air/fuel mixture maximizes burn efficiency. It is for this reason that most racers add high power ignition systems. The added power allows them to open the gap yet still provide a strong spark.
With this mind, many think the larger the gap the better. In fact, some aftermarket ignition systems boast that their systems can tolerate gaps that are extreme. Be wary of such claims. In most cases, the largest gap you can run may still be smaller than you think.
