The same owners manual that recommends 1)changing your oil filter every other oil change 2)NEVER changing your fuel filter 3)'check' air filter every 100k, and im sure it mentions only using authentic nissan parts and nissan repair centers because they are far superior

 

CAIs and UDPs don't do a whole lot for our cars... spend that money on maybe headers, or a y-pipe, and some suspension mods like a FSTB/RSB combo or a new springs/struts set-up or coilovers.

 

yea, that was just an example, i couldnt think of any similarly priced items besides those. I'm deciding between y-pipe or rims (then i gotta get bigger tires too tho....dont HAVE to,but you know). If i were to get a fstb and rsb, would i feel that in the ride...i have stock springs/struts,no drop right now. i assume you have those installed already,thats why i ask

 

Yes you would definitely feel the difference adding a FSTB and RSB with the stock springs/struts (that's the .Org consensus on that), in fact, you'd probably feel it more than ya would with those already done. I only have a FSTB right now because I like the way the car handles with the springs/struts upgrade and adding a RSB would change that (adds oversteer, but it does tighten up the rear considerably). I may look into the RSB in the future, but with my Illuminas set to 4F 3R the car handles just the way I want it right now.

 

good info. In the near future, i want a small drop,just to get rid of all that space above the wheels,that huge gap. I really dont want to change the ride too much tho,so im reading up on what would not change things too drastically for me. Cause my car rides smooooth right now,although it does roll a little more in turns than i'd like. ive heard around here that the rsb has a much more noticable effect than the fstb

 

The RSB has a much more noticeable effect than the FSTB, but the FSTB does help firm up the front especially at highway speeds. I feel it most when taking long, fast turns like on/off-ramps and such. I think most will advise adding a FSTB to a RSB set-up to "neutralize" some of the oversteer from the RSB as well. I'm not an expert on this, so hopefully someone else will chime in with a more technical or detailed opinion.

Cool, thanks for your input. Two quick questions..i checked out your cardomain site...do you recommend the lights you have in your clear corners? Secondly, including parts and labor, about how much did it cost total for you to drop your max?

 

I sent ya a PM answering your questions cuz I didn't wanna ***** the thread (to those who know me, unbelievable huh?) but then I just realized that this is your thread anyways.

So... in short, you have PM...

 

yea, i just switched the topic completely by firing off unrelated questions.
back on topic....will a cai ruin my MAF sensor j/k

 

Better be careful with that... there are some people on here who can ***** up a thread pretty quickly...
