I don't have a problem with Gates. I install lots of those without problem so I went with one on my Z32
Nissan parts reviews
I've got 265/75/r16 Cooper Discoverer AT3 LT's in the "C" rating on my '17 Frontier. They're the new, more aggressive design that came out in fall 2018. I've been very impressed with them on gravel and loose dirt/sand/rocky unimproved roads in the southwest and on plenty of snowy, sketchy mountain roads around Utah. They ride well and are quiet on the highway, in my opinion at least. I lost maybe .5-1 mpg over the stock highway tread tires, and that includes going up a size and from P to LT tires.
Achilles, their cheap and have never failed on me
For Nissan I see people tend to prefer Mobil 1 Full synthetic. I don't know what other oil my Sentra was using before but the car runs better on Mobil 1 for me.
Installed new plugs. Probably took 30 minutes - very simple - thanks Nissan! The original plugs which I am embarrassed to say went 123K miles came out very easy so I saw no need.
For performance tires, the best bang for buck is the Firehawk Indy 500. I have them on my Skyline and they transformed the feel. There's more grip, I'm more confident in it, and they didn't cost a ton of money. Plus they look awesome.
I then used a Bosch Micro Edge to replace the OEM Trico blade. Back when Bosch still made wipers in Belgium and they were actually good.
DEPO is about the best you could get as far as aftermarket goes. everything else are about a few tiers off as light output concern. but then compare to OEM it's still not as good.
Wrote my car off into an enbankment on NT05's in the rain while driving normally.
I recently installed a Koyo radiator in my s13 to replace the stock one that had been leaking. I bled the air thoroughly when I filled the system with a spill free funnel and the bleed screw on the water outlet. Even after doing this, my car started overheating intermittently after driving around for a bit. When I stopped, the upper hose and radiator were very hot but the lower hose was cool to the touch. I tried to bleed more air out of it with the spill free funnel, but no air came out, and the water in the funnel started getting hot and overflowing. I pulled the thermostat to verify if it's functioning properly and it is, also it's the type that will stay open in the event of failure. This might seem silly, but I feel like the thermostat is closing and opening because the radiator is cooling too well.
