did you put on (or should you put on) any rust preventer (POR-15, etc.) on the hole in the frame rail cuz won't it just rust out again very soon? I have a hole in a similar spot that I need to get fixed.

i just put the j30 calipers on today!!! for anybody who was questioning if the 4 lug altima rotors would fit, they sure do, with no issues at all. i recomend these brakes to everyone super cheap and easy.

yep i was going to go ka t but i got really lucky with the sr.... my best friend actually bought it for is coupe after he blew his ka the day he got his car. any way he bought the sr and i did the swap for him in my driveway.... turns out the engine he got had no compression across the board all the rings were frozen... sooo he lost interest and got a job in the carribean and i got left with the sr and a 92 coupe shell...
