The Nissan Path

I think my future goal with rear suspension would be to use Armada axles and extend all the control arms another 2-3" to match the length of the Armada axles if it has the same stub bolt pattern(should be the same since they're both R230s). A lot of guys are rear Armada subframe swapping with no ...

OME worked fine for me. I have some cheap Sachs on now for the last year and it rides just as nice.

Nope, doesn't work. I tested it just for informational purpose in case anyone wants to upgrade to the Akebono BBK that Z1 offers and were hoping it'd fit the stock 18s to save some money. Calipers are too big and you wouldn't be able to screw on the lug nuts to tighten the wheels down. You should be ...

Nissan oem is the preferrable choice to go with. Otherwise, take your pick of all the 3rd party manufacturers whether it's Z1 or RockAuto. All my control arms are Nissan oem except the front uca(Rough Country current) and the rear uca(Mevotech) due to eccentric bushings I had installed in it from my ...

The R51 is independent suspension front and rear. No panhard bar you'd need to worry about.

You've probably heard by now, VF Tuner is now available for us too. Just came out this past weekend.

I haven't been in the R51 community too long, but the few years I have been here. Never heard of anyone breaking a rear axle or front axle due to lifts/additional wheel travel.

The most wheel travel in the rear from my experience so far is the Radflo extended shocks. For the front, Titan swap.

Z1 and UpRev are the only two tuners I can come up with.

silverarrow27

No for both. You can use the the rear Armada springs if you have a pair laying around.

I personally haven't tried Bilsteins on the R51, I have however used OME Nitrocharger shocks and they drove well for me with OME medium duty springs. I'd get rid of the spacers and go with the Moog Armada springs at least.

Same.

Steve with Rugged Rocks Off Road has a group buy on M205 RCV axles. Deadline to get in on this probably one and last time access to these axles is Saturday December 14th. Prices hasn't publicly been released yet, but I'm guessing price is going to be around $2500+- for the pair. You have the option ...

I wonder if its a SMOD car. :|
Short of death, thats just about the only thing that could get an owner to get rid of an otherwise well maintained and running R51 4x4, LE.

For someone who doesnt do their own work and does not have parts hookups, the cost to replace the tranny would just be ...

I actually do need to do that so I can often look at my alignment to make sure they haven't moved. I have knocked my rear alignment off before by hitting dips a bit too hard. I'll do that once I get my replacement bearing spacer and new bolt in.

Check out the pinned thread at the top.

"First Time Post - TPMS"

You'll find diy instructions there if the tpms sensors are communicating with your BCM. I don't see why Nissan would change the frequency.
