See ?scatterplot3d. You can use arguments x.ticklabs, y.ticklabs, 
z.ticklabs in order top specify character strings.

par(lwd=2) or more, for example.


First example from ?scatterplot3d  but with some other labels on x axis 
and thick lines:

   z <- seq(-10, 10, 0.01)
   x <- cos(z)
   y <- sin(z)
   par(lwd=3)
   scatterplot3d(x, y, z, highlight.3d=TRUE, col.axis="blue",
       col.grid="lightblue", main="scatterplot3d - 1", pch=20,
       x.ticklabs=paste(seq(0.3, 1.1, by=0.2), "ms"),
       xlab="relative Time")

Best wishes,
Uwe
