The HKS M45HL is the ultimate high-performance ignition upgrade for modern "Long Reach" cylinder heads. Engineered with an NGK Heat Range 9 equivalent, this "colder" plug is designed specifically for engines running high boost, aggressive ECU tunes, or frequent track use where managing cylinder heat is critical to preventing engine knock and pre-ignition.
Whether you are pushing the limits of your GR Yaris, Toyota 86, or Nissan R35 GT-R, the HKS M-Series ensures a stable, powerful spark under the most extreme Australian racing conditions.
Colder Heat Range (NGK #9): Ideal for modified engines that generate significantly more heat than stock, protecting your engine from catastrophic detonation.
0.6mm Iridium Alloy Center Electrode: Requires less voltage to jump the gap, resulting in better ignition performance, sharper throttle response, and more reliable cold starts.
Platinum Ground Electrode: Features a square platinum chip for superior durability, ensuring your spark gap remains consistent even under high-load circuit driving.
Anti-Vibration Design: The shortened outer electrode (Anti-Vibration type) is specifically engineered to withstand the high-frequency vibrations found in high-RPM performance engines.
Thermal Edge & Spark Support: Features HKS’s signature ceramic insulator design that helps discharge carbon buildup during idling, keeping the plug clean even in stop-start traffic.
