Nissan parts reviews

I ditched the stock tires at 20k and went with Falken Wildpeak A/T and it drives perfect.

I have it on my 180sx, it's a great little turbo, spools quick. although I'm only running 300hp which I'm pretty happy with.

Hitachi IGC0003 from Rock auto, 3 years, zero issues.

Nissan Titan 5.6L took about 7L of oil. For an engine that has a typical wet sump pan, that surprised me considering the fact that most domestic pickups take 6L of oil.

My 2003 Frontier only holds 3.5 quarts. Yes, it's made like that. For a while, I thought it just had a crappy dipstick tube and the dipstick was rubbing the sides and hard to read. Nope, oil change places and even mechanics would routinely dump 5 quarts in it. Even after I told them it only took 3.5 quarts.

When I replace mine I went with the Optima Yellow Top. Seems to be hanging in there 6 years later.

I've purchased the lightweight flywheel and clutch from Wolf and have been pleased.

I just installed KYB Strut-Plus on a B16 Sentra. None of that stacked bellow/bumper garbage that you get with Monroe. The KYB mount threads (8mm) look like shit compared to OE. The included screws do not appear to be strengthened. I would never use the Nissan torque value of 21 ft/lb with an aftermarket job. I chose 15 which still felt risky.

Our other car, the 2016 Leaf, kinda is the embodiment of all the negative talking points you hear about, since it's an older EV: It uses an outdated & slower charging standard, has a small battery, and has significant battery degradation (29%) since Nissan decided, in their infinite wisdom, to not give the Leaf a coolant loop for the batteries. (Heat is the biggest killer for EV batteries).

I find this to be the most embarrassing point. The manual can't handle a 20 HP/34 TQ increase. Those aren't huge numbers and generally OEM manual trans now days are overbuilt. If I'm a manual Z owner that is looking to do bolt-ons or a tune I'd certainly reconsider.
