I have 18".
To clarify, the widest part of the V8 caliper has 9mm greater radius from the axle centerline vs. the V6 caliper.
How much clearance do you have currently?

This swap would have probably been a well-known upgrade - except, back in 2011 when it was brought up on the clubfrontier forum, a senior member declared it was impossible because the V8 and V6 had different spindles to accommodate different bolt hole spacing on the calipers. No one questioned him a...

Yesterday I was too impatient to see if the swap would work so I did it without waiting for the stainless steel lines I had ordered from PRG. Today I found the lines in the mailbox (they were probably delivered while I was in the middle of the swap) and I tore it right back apart and put them in. ht...

The V8 Pathy has larger rotors than the V6, so I swapped the rotors and calipers out for a cheap upgrade. Parts from RockAuto. I got the Nastra Caliper set for $64 each and the Ultra Rotors on closeout for $24 each. https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/nissan,2010,pathfinder,5.6l+v8,1444654,brake+&am...

Maybe one of your ABS sensors got disconnected.

I hope it helps.

Could you swap just the gears instead of the full diff to get the same effect? Z1 Motorsports sells a 4.083 set for the 03+ G35/G37 so I'm Awondering if this would be a direct swap into a V6 R200 rear (besides the need for a ring gear spacer since the carrier is 3.54 and down). Yes, if money is no ...

No that's it. 07-08 G35 or 08 G37, non-locking. They seem fairly plentiful. Here's another, from the same yard I got mine from: https://www.ebay.com/itm/2008-INFINITI-G37-3-7L-REAR-CARRIER-ASSEMBLY-RATIO-3-692/162537975528?fits=Year%3A2008%7CModel%3AG37&hash=item25d804aee8:g:E0sAAOSw-K9ZMKGF:sc:...

Hi Walter, You should only need to adjust your bushings if your cam bolts run out of range. Here is a DIY procedure very similar in principal to the one i did, using a stick as a gauge: http://mercedes-diy-alignment.blogspot.com/2009/04/mercedes-diy-alignment.html I would just note that he took his ...

Hi Walter, No problem. I've been figuring this out as I go and I haven't taken a series of pictures to illustrate but I'll give you what I have right now. Camber is easy. I used one of these http://www.rockler.com/wixey-digital-angle-gauge-with-backlight?sid=V9146?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cp...

$400 for the front, $100 for the rear. Note this applicable to the V6 only. The V8 uses the M205 in front and R230 in the rear. The front R180A differential from a Frontier with 3.69 gears is a drop-in replacement and readily available from salvage yards for $400-$500. The challenge is getting the R...

Just to close the loop on this - I love the Armada (Gabriel) shocks . Rear travel has increased by over 2 inches to 10.5. I've got so much droop my floor jack won't go high enough to get the tire off the ground! Ride quality seems about the same as with the Bilsteins. I've had issues with the rear t...

Thanks Marsdawg, the bushings you recommended did indeed get the get the job done. Camber is now in spec., a bit more relieved regarding stability when turning. Not so worried about new tires getting worn out too uneven anymore (Pirelli Scorpion ATR LT265/75/16). After install of bushing, they did ...

I replaced my rear control arms last weekend. From memory, this is how I did the lowers: * Note that many of these bolts will be corroded and a nightmare to remove. I got lucky and didn't have to cut any out. Coat the bolts liberally with grease when reinstalling to keep them from seizing in the fut...
