I love Nissan. But Honda has are butts kicked in the mod dept. You can buy anything for almost any of there cars. where is the love for Nissan.. Unless you have a 350 it's slim picking on mods..

Dont be afraid to lower it. I have Progress Springs with KYB shocks and struts and it rides nice. It may not be a "plush" as stock but its not all stiff either. Its a nice combo plus it looks way better.

well what happened is that the gap between the tires and the outer arch on the fron was 3.5 in. The rear had only 1.5 in. Is this normal? Or is there something wrong??

It advanced the timing of the combustion so that it will it occur when the cylinder is under the most compression. Factory timing is slightly retarded, but I'm not sure why exactly.

I hear this gives you good boost for the low cost and ease of doing. I also hear you must 91O, at minimum.

As for visuals, tint it, paint your headlights, new grill, IPCW tails and shave the trunk. That should set you for a bit.
