Nice looking ride. I am not a suspension expert so I really do not know what that is, the 4 pipes from your engine to your exhaust is called a header, so you were close in name but the part was pretty far off. Look on HotShot's web site, I believe you can buy them there or just brose the classifieds section of the forum.

Hi there. Nice car you have. Looks very clean.
There could be a few things that is making the back end feel bouncy.As your car is such low mileage and look like its on standard suspension, check your tires pressure first. If it's too high the back end will feel light and nervous.

Nissan do do a set of front and rear strut bars for the P11. If you're lucky you might be able to pick a set up from a scrap yard. However, not all models have the mounting bolts fitted as standard, so you might need to do a bit of work to fit them.
Alternativly Carbing do a good set of aftermarket bars.

i have 15 inch rims, and a tire 195/50/zr15 goodyear eagle f1 on the back, i change the front tires for a bf goodrich g force on the same meter, and the dealer said me, that low perfil tired are always with a very high presure (37psi)

[stracyznski]

I run 205/45/17 tyres at 34psi. Gut feeling is 37psi is on the high side....

[Jaimuncho]

so... i low the presure on the back for 34 psi ?

and i found this for local dealer here in chile, is around $ 60US

what do you think?

That looks a good, it will bolt straight onto the existing bolts and at $60 sounds a good price.

Try dropping the tyre pressure and see how it feels.

[Jaimuncho]

i drop the pressure and, the b ouncing is over
thanks dude

Already mentioned before, but just to make sure we're talking about the same thing:



The four pipes? Headers.

^^^correction. HEADER. no 's'

[Loek]

James (o Jaime) ?

Hay una seccion en Espanol en este Forum, donde puedes conversar en Castellano con otros aficionados. El multiple (header) consigues tambien via e-bay. Hay a lo menos un otro Chileno (de Santiago) en este Forum, quien tiene una Primera bastante 'evenenada' (turbo) asi que a lo mejor pueden contactarse para intercambiar datos/opiniones.
Yo vivi en Santiago desde 1995-2000 y tengo muy buenos recuerdos: en la Av. Vitacura fue la primera vez que probe una Primera.... y numerosas veces hice el trayecto Santiago-Valparaiso en carro.

The bit you're looking for is call a header. Like this...

It's by a company by the name of ssAutochrome or sx-power on e-bay.

They're cheap, but give good gain. Only down side to them is the quality of the stainless steel. It's not the best and is likely to rust after a while...

[Jaimuncho]
