haha i never even thought about junkyard testing for a day... thats actually a pretty good idea. thanks nunya, soon as i get the free time i'll have to find one that has a good inventory

i was just curious if anyone has attempted to go through the tedious process of swapping out the outdated looked front end of the 96-99 pathy for the beefier looking 99.5-04 front end. and if its even possible, because i'm sure that it would require alot of parts than your typical front bumper swap: Preliminary list of parts would include: Bumper Headlights Signals Grille Hood Fenders & Flares Wiring harness's for lights (if they use a different size bulb) mounting hardware if anyone has any information on this i'd be incredibly grateful, i love the look of the later model R50! yes i know this could be expensive as i would also have to repaint the whole front end at that point. but i plan on painting the whole thing anyways.. thanks guys

my boss at work has a flowmaster catback on his R50 and it sounds hella nice @ idle and when he's romping it to pull outta the lot, around 3k though it gets kinda raunchy sounding, also it was dirt cheap Delta 50, muff and install was around $180

awesome thanks again. like i said i'm a little new to this

just to clarify, i'm not used to what other countries use for stock equipment terms, am i right to assume that OME stands for Original Manufacturer Equipment, or is it an aftermarket company?

wow you guys are awesome at response time. i was worried that this (like many other forums) would get so flooded with posts that no one would get around to answering my post for weeks. this place rocks! i think i'm gonna like it here

Hey everyone, Just landed a 99 Gold SE. Had to ditch the sports car for the new baby (sometimes they just aren't practical). Just wanted some help on tracking down some ideas and parts for this bad boy. First and foremost I LOVE IT! couldn't have chosen a better SUV imo. Used to have a Nissan Hardbody circa 1990 and had a blast off-roading in it! now to what i need help with tarcking down. 1) looking for a small 1-3" lift for it, nothing to high but high enough for a little more clearance. 2) a decent suspension setup to keep the ride comfortable enough for daily driving, but rigid enough for off-roading. 3) already found the tires i like from friends, but i just wanted some opinions from people who know this specific vehicle, decided to go with General Tires Grabber AT2 on the stock 265/70/R15 wheels. 4) front bumber and winch combo if possible. 5) OEM brush guard (i dont like the aftermarket looks) 6) lastly just curious if there is kit to relocate the spare tire from under the rear-end to mount in on the back door like the Xterra? thanks for any all help EDIT - I'll get pics up as soon as i get a chance to take some.
