I bought a 2kSE before you could buy the 17" wheel package. Did the 17" package come with different springs and shocks, because on the 2kSE with the 16" package there is a speed governor at 130 (I know cause i've hit it annoyingly a few times).

Anybody know, cause the dealer sure as hell doesn't. Why hire people that have no idea what they are dealing with. Then again most of us are not the normal consumer.

 

umm i think its because of the ratings on the tire.. switch the ECU with a later 2000SE or 2001 and you should go higher.

I know it is because of the tire rating. The question I had was if the 17" wheel and tire package also came with stiffer spring and/or shocks.

 

NnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnOoooooooooooooooooooo!!!!

 

The salesman's job isn't to know everything about that car, but rather make you think that you can't live without it. They are there to reassure you ... when you have doubts they build you up like a motivational speaker. If you want to know very specific technical questions it would most likely be advantagous to ask the service manager or a nissan rep.

But to answer your question, yeah switch the ecu and that should fix your problem, and a SE suspension is a SE suspension no matter the tire/rim combo.

 

Well......true and not true. I used to own a formula firebird. The formula with the 16" high performance wheel package came with a different suspension setup. The 16" **** eagle GA's came with a softer setup. The difference was between the stock macpherson setup and the bilstiens. Thats why i was asking. I was just wondering if Nissan did the same goofy junk.
