SPL Parts has amazing customer service.

Powered by Max dot net guys are nice as well.

Enjuku Racing if you're in FL, Phase 2 Motortrend or FR Sport if you're in CA, and Touge Factory if you're in IL. MA Motorsports if you're in MA.

Since you're in NC, your best bet would probably be Enjuku or Touge Factory.

However, to get good deals, get yourself signed up to Zilvia.net as those companies are all advertisers on there and have good deals on their merchandise on Zilvia.

Check the rods that connects the headlight motors to the headlight units themselves.

Those are probably worn out, you could either buy new ones form Nissan or if you know what you're doing, you could make some custom ones out of spherical bearings, which will solidly mount them on.

i just tightened up the rods worked great, just to let you know, SoSideways, i don't know your real name sorry, thanks for all the help, seems like you are the only one to answer my questions.

[SoSideways]

No problem.

At least you're trying to learn about the car and all that.

question of today, i am looking at some wheels. i want 17's, what width and offset will make them flush

[SoSideways]

Depends on camber and ride height.

You can make 17x9 +20 flush in the rear, 17x9 +15 flush in the front, all with stock fenders without any pulling, just rolled flat.

Go from there.

^^ agreed ^^ i used to have 4 240sx's, now im stuck with a wrong wheel drive honda. lol. IDK if you have purchased springs or coilovers, but i used a set of JIC-MAGIC FLT-A2 coils I bought them from phase 2 and they were about 1700, but i loved them!

[jaracinghatch]

i haven't bought either yet, but hopefully soon i will get some coilovers

with a 17x9 +12 you'll probably only need a roll and not a pull. depends on the tires, camber, and ride height as well though.

my advice, spend some time on here Wheel fitment whore thread (Stretch/Flush) - Zilvia.net Forums

spend like a couple days and write down specs. take up all the information that it has to offer. then come back here if you have any questions. but, it pretty much answers any questions you might have on wheel/tire/flush/stretch/coilover/stance issues.

[Riego_B]

Yeah, the wheel fitment whore thread on Zilvia is fantastic. Ive spent countless hours just browsing around all one million pages checking out different wheel/tire combos.

Tons of good info.

17x9 with a +20 look great on stock fenders with a roll.

[jaracinghatch]

the only reason i was asking again is because i looked at that thread on zilvia, now i am confused.....lol. but thanks anyways

[jaracinghatch]

aight this is what i got, now when i am driving and coming to a stop, the car stalls out? WTF? if i down shift it bogs down to about 100 rpm border line stalling. if i try to coast to a stop it stalls out. it cranks right back up, but it gets on my nerves. no check engine light so i don't know what is wrong with it. please someone help!!!!!!!!
