    Ultra Racing Rear Sway Bar

    Doesn't seem that much cheaper than the Cusco, I see prices in the upper $200's, any pointers to a less expensive source?

    2016 Altima Power Window Switch (lighted buttons!)

    Thinking of buying, it's cheap enough, but not sure if it will work. Have the 2019 SL Plus, only the driver window and the mirror toggle buttons are illuminated I think. Do you have the link to the passenger side one as well? Looks like it may be part 25411-3ta1a, not sure though, is this the...

    New owners, get your next tires at a nice discount

    Been doin' this for quite some time with DiscountTire, but since they keep charging for the ceritifcates, installation, etc., it makes it just an OK deal. What I try to do is get tires with the largest mileage warranty, that way the next set is a bit cheaper if they don't last. My OEMs lasted...

    Replacing 12V Battery with LiFePO4 (Video)

    I went with a Die Hard AGM after all, could not really convince myself that a LiFePO4 was worth it and would work well in cold. And we had some cold weather this December and January! I've had the AGM for about a year now, checking it periodically shows it's barely above 12V most of the time...

    Replaced 12v Lead with 12v Lithium

    LOL they have adapters for these, this is M6. Not the reason not to buy, but thanks for playing.

    Replaced 12v Lead with 12v Lithium

    Ugh, shutting down is bad news, thanks for pointing it out. No harm done, back to square one, still looking for a decent replacement for my original flooded lead acid battery (at 3.5+ years now), finding a good replacement seems more convoluted now than ever before... I mean I can see getting an...

    Replaced 12v Lead with 12v Lithium

    Thanks for a quick look, Brock. Would it not just limit charging to 20A, though? Seems OK to me, why would I want to charge it faster than that? They state they can supply 36A continuous or 10C pulse on the discharge side... I see what you mean though, you may run out of battery if pulling 50A...

    Replaced 12v Lead with 12v Lithium

    Been scouring Amazon for a Leaf-compatible battery, and finally found something: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BDVVXDX3/?coliid=I18A08SWRC0YPW&colid=7H02C6AB69W2&ref_=gv_ov_lig_pi_dp&th=1 Widthwise it will fit, although it is shorter than the original and 51R size in general... Just wondering...

    Replacing 12V Battery with LiFePO4 (Video)

    LOL Thanks, I was going to say something, but it's always best to ignore that stuff

    Replacing 12V Battery with LiFePO4 (Video)

    Well, batteries can die suddenly, and this may result in somebody getting stranded in a random place. There is nothing wrong with upgrading a battery, even before its' death, and if there is clearly a better solution, I would go for it regardless how fresh my flooded lead acid factory battery...

    Replacing 12V Battery with LiFePO4 (Video)

    Colorado. Why AGM for Leaf? Don't need the cranking amps, still heavy, more expensive and only twice the life of lead acid, to name a few reasons.

    Replacing 12V Battery with LiFePO4 (Video)

    Been away from the forums forever, and the LiFePO4 batteries have caught my attention, as my 2019 SL Plus is now over 3 years old, and even though my OEM battery seems to be still good, the end may be near. I'm looking for a self-heating battery in the 50Ah range that would fit in the 51R slot...

    License plate LED bulb replacement in 2018 2019 Leafs - how do you do it?

    Yes, all the panels must be removed (they overlap), but it's not that difficult. I did this just a couple of days ago and it took me 5-10 minutes. The biggest thing to watch out for is not bending the big panel too much, as it can tear or crack. Also, make sure to insert the holders closest to...

    License plate LED bulb replacement in 2018 2019 Leafs - how do you do it?

    Thanks for posting a procedure, much appreciated. Have not visited the forum for some time, looks like a month at least. This is the last mod I was waiting on to perform, will do so shortly. I really do not understand why these instructions are not in the owner's manual, I would think this is...

    License plate LED bulb replacement in 2018 2019 Leafs - how do you do it?

    I wanted to replace the clearly incandescent license plate light bulbs in the 2019 SL Plus, but I cannot find a procedure to do that anywhere. It was easy in the prior year models, now the light enclosures don't seem to be easily removable. I contemplated either removing the plastic piece just...
