What year car do you have? I’m just not sure where the electric cable will come into play with my ‘97? If I don’t have homelink stock, I wouldn’t expect a wire harness to be there for me to just click into like that.
Thanks a ton dude.
Nick
97 same as you, right now its just being used to power your visor mirror light but it powers both

How are you getting around anywhere being that low and not on variable suspension? I am no where near that low and have to plan my routes and avoid any steep driveway entrances and even then the scraps are impossible to avoid….

Hi thanks, ive never used a forum before so bare with me if I dont reply correctly or put something in the wrong forum lol. But yes I do have a few more pics here is some after I had to raise it a tad .

Lmao believe me I scraped a lot and got stuck everywhere especially driveways lol but over the past month I had to raise it a little sadly. Only thing im having to do is either tuck the fuel lines into the trans tunnel which I heard is actually a pita so what im actually going to end up having to do is order some dimple plates that I can secure under the fuel lines so they wont get hit when I scrape. Ive fully rebuilt the front end with aftermarket arms and 45K springs so its ready for any abuse coming to it. I was very lucky to get a hold of a set of BellRacework LCA’s with poly
bushings that have serviceable ES300 ball joints and only takes about 15 min to swap out each one and im currently on my 2nd set and has saved me a lot of money since I would constantly have to get lexus lca’s from the junkyard lol. But overall nothing seems to be damaged at my ride height other than the back of my exhaust lol. Only thing I did have to replace is my condenser/radiator support but that was because my dumb*** wasnt paying attention at night and hit a dip going 45mph and absolutely bent the whole support frame . Some future plans which I will love to post soon are going to be an entire rear subframe rebuild and raising it to correct the geometry of the rear and take some stress off the axles.
Relocated my battery to the back seat and tossed in an NRG seat for the passenger. It's a gutted car with no floor in the trunk so back seat was my best option. I've been steadily working to prep her for my first Lock City Drift event on April 9th.

I put on tein flex z's and some new wheels tires I found on Craigslist.
I'm only getting about 6 turns on my lug nuts, I read on here that is300 studs are the solution?
I did not adjust the coil overs out of the box and had some rubbing on the stock wheels and tires with 25mm spacers, new wheels appear to fit just enough that I think that will go away
You can see where the lip was hitting the bulge on the factory tire

I was having similar stud issues. I went with H&R studs 14.20 knurl 45mm in rear and 50mm in rear. The ARP studs for the IS300 are like 60mm + so you HAVE TO use open ended lug nuts. With the 50mm front and a 5mm spacer, I’ve got 45mm of thread on all four corners and now have like 9 turns or 10.

And yea, any IS studs will work on our cars.
Hope this helps.

Got it. I ordered some 50mm ones off ebay. The 10mm should add enough thread and I should be able to use closed lug nuts
Havent even seen it today. My son's Pathfinder is in the shop so he took it to work today.. been gone since before i saw the sun. but! i did get at the end of last week a giant item 'for' it, and a hug leap forward in the process to install all the parts i've got piled up.
