hi guys heres a few questions fer ya about my 04 specV

1. dose the earlyer (02) front bumper cap fit on my 04? the 04 looks too much like a reg sentra

2. me and a friend were doing some high speed testing is it normal to get vibration at 150 mph+ it feels like im pushing the stock suspention to its limit but i just wanted to check cuz im thinkin of replacing the stock setup with a tein suspention.

3. has anyone tryed or heard a dc header with tanabe medallion exaust? cuz thats what i was concidering ordering.

thx fer the help in advance guys

How were you going 150+ in a stock Spec V? The governer restricts you to 135. If you were going that fast, that means that someone removed the governer and added lots of secret HP which mean lots of vibrations as you rev it to 8000 RPM. As for the DC header, go for it, sounds great.

1. Yes, but you need the headlights and grille from an 02-03 as well.

2. How on earth did you get to 150? I really hope that's on a track. Being it that you're in Canada, maybe the limiter is different (or maybe you meant KPH?) TEIN is a pretty good suspension. Also consider Koni Yellows and Eibach Sportline or H&R springs. They're all about equal.

3. Every Tanabe I've heard sounded buzzy and ricerific, if not initially then after some use. IMO you're better off with Greddy, BRM (which I'm partial to, along with several other members), or NISMO.

The NISMO parts are overpriced since they don't offer any better performance than any other brand.

The NISMO exhaust does sound nice. I prefer BRM, but the NISMO is a close second.
