Re: Rear shock recommendations V8 R51

Your best bet is probably Bilstein.

I have had terrible luck with KYB.

Re: Rear Budget Lift + Wheel Travel Increase

I am not an expert but I don't think that you will see any more travel with a spacer in there. I think that would just decrease travel. You want increased travel the extended length Radflo's where the only way to go from what I saw when I did my research along with a suspension lift not a spacer ...

Re: Are there "Tuners" available to us?


The best part about it was that the plenum spacer made replacing ignition coils and spark plugs a lot easier!


I honestly want it for that reason alone. That being said, I am too cheap to pay $250 or whatever it is right now to get that benefit. Then again, I lifted mine and put the biggest ...

Re: Does your trans get hot after Rad bypass?

I agree with VStar. Bypass is fine as a band aid, but the fix is to actually fix it.

Re: Replacing Stock Brakes All Around

Hi All,

Does anyone know the specifications of the gaskets used for the banjo bolts on the brake calipers? I hate spending 1-2$ for a stupid gasket when i need 8 of them and could buy a bag of 50 for the same price if i had the specifications.

Here is a link to the part that I am referencing ...

Replacing Stock Brakes All Around

Well this is mundane, but it is what it is.

The brake upgrade kit for the front is about 1k alone (I don't feel like spending that much). But my front and rear brake pads are down to about 2mm. So, it looks like its time. Also, the parking brake is weak.

The remedy. A brake job all around.

So ...

Re: new thread - 2001 LE V6 Suspension Refresh

1.Looks like you haven't gotten any feedback so here is some. The stock springs in the rear are weak and wear out because of it, lots of bump stop contact. I would get replacement springs that are aftermarket. Plenty of folks here like the moogs as a replacement. If you want stock height I would ...

Re: Rear shocks for 2" lift

Glad its working out for you. DIY definitely will save some cash.

My 2007 is going pretty well still. It needs some bushings and probably the coils replaced. Outside of that its running strong and rest free (except the battery tray). Honestly, I see no reason it won't make it to 20. I also see no ...

Re: Rear shocks for 2" lift


Odd. My kit came with the spacers and no springs for the back. When did you buy your kit? I bought mine about 2018 and I know the front struts have changed configuration since I bought the kit and wonder if they also went from spacers to springs in that time or if we have different kits? My lift ...

Courtesy Parts Is No More - Unknown If They Will Return

Hi All,

Just an FYI. I just got off the phone with a parts person at courtesy Nissan. Their website is down. Apparently has been for about a month and the folks that were supposed to maintain it are MIA. It unknown whether they will be coming back with an internet presence for parts orders.

Re: Rear Differential Bushings Torn

Well it appears that others have not yet encountered this issue. I will post progress and information here for future reference by others. As this is in progress that info may be wrong.

Looks like the removal of the bushings will require the differential to be removed first. (it may be possible to ...

Rear Differential Bushings Torn

Hi All,

The two differential bushings that are just behind the rear diff are all torn up. So they obviously need to be replaced.

The question is, how painful of a job is this to do and what else should be replaced at the same time?

Bonus if you know which section of the service manual shows the ...
