I still don't get what you mean... you changed 3/4's of the oil and left 1/4 of the old oil? It only has 1/4 oil in the motor? What do you mean?
Do not put "crapion" aka Champion spark plugs in a Japanese motor. NGK's only. So... pull out those piece of crap plugs, tell me what the tips look like, and get a set of NGK's to replace them.

just go to auto zone and ask them for ngk for your car they should know no need to get fancy/pricey just get the car running first then upgrade later. and just use what you feel necessary im going to run a high millage with slick 50 additive already in the oil but run with what nismo tells you HE IS A Z GOD!!!

it could be they are part of your ignition and one of the three things that makes a car go: fuel,air, and fire. if one is missing or kind of off then that may be the case, but what do i know just ask one of the more experienced zdrivers.
