Plugs never come at the required gap - its different for every car.
Buy yourself a set of feeler gauges and set the gap.

Or just buy them already gapped for your car.

NGK listing for K11 Micra:
Recommended Plug: BKR5E-11 Gap: 1.1

The Internet is your friend Shalon, this information is very easy to find through simple searches on Google, or searching this site before you post yet another question. ;-)

Still need to check the gap on plugs you buy as they are easily knocked & the gap could be wrong.

I also note that this shows the BKR5E-11 plug with gap set at 0.8-0.9mm

This seems odd given the NGK site shows the 1.1mm (44 thou) gap, although that is just the NGK factory setting.

What's the history of this image? The font looks like it came from a Nissan factory manual.

i just bought some ngk spark plugs and a feeler gauge. the gauge didn't have 1.1mm so i used the 1.0mm and the engine sounds great after i installed them

if they dont have 1.1mm use the 1.0mm with the 0.1mm together and there you go..you got 1.1!
