chris

go to www.californiasupertrucks.com for more info, those truck are nice 5.6 ltr v8 305hp and 376 trq thats more trq than the supid ass hemi!!!

If I were buying a new truck, it would be either a Nissan Titan or Frontier. I've driven both and the motors are bitchin and the truck rides pretty well to boot. The frontier with the 6 speed (and 265 hp stock&#33 scoots pretty well.
But hell, the Titan is only a few G's more.
The Titan is a bitchin truck, great power and very affordable. There are many kits in the works for this truck, and in almost all price ranges.
If I were to buy a Titan, the first thing I'd do is throw on a PRG leveling kit. And shortly after that, a donahoe coilover (not out yet, but I know it'll be good). I'm sure Greg Gagnon will chime in shortly, he's the *go-to* guy for Titans.

I second what Alex said. Find Greg and listen to what he says!
He can hook you up on anything Titan!

Greg ......Hello Greg?

The titan is a great truck. There are some really nice lift kits on the market, some a bit taller than others. Only one kit seems to be giving people issues. The CST kit is coming down a bit in price to make it more comparable to the others, its really the nicest kit out now. CST makes the only long travel for 2wd. Im sure SLR is going to be building some really trick stuff soon too. I will be racing a titan in 1450 next year, running an Total chaos long travel kit, it will work with 2 or 4 wd. Pm me if you want all the info on these trucks.

For Jen:
Total chaos is going to make a kit for the titan?. Or you are going to modify an existing kit to fit?

haha, that was greg, not jen. they never pay attn to whos name is logged on when they post.

the only problem that i know if is the brakes... my buddy has one and he has had 3 sets of front rotors on it since he bought it... otherwise i think it's the best 1/2 ton truck on the market.

they also a very weak rear end.....

its a DANA 44 so it cant be that bad

I wouldn't call the titan rearend weak. It's a misconception really. Sure it's got a dana 44 (so does a dodge viper, albeit IRS), but it runs such a high gear that the pinion's as big as a 9inch with 4.56's. The main concern in those rearends I believe, is the axle bearings.

That said, Greg's 1450 titan is getting a 9-inch. We've all seen how he drives. And the Total Chaos kit will be a brand new kit, built by total chaos, that Greg will race on.

SLR should have some stuff coming out really soon, Spencer can't wait and is really stoked. That's all the info. I can release or else he'll shoot me.......lol

i believe spivey was talking about the strength of those rearends...i think he has some firsthand expeience at the magazine he works for

they had a recall to fix the front brakes up to 2004 they were to small so now they update them with the same ones that are on the 05's

The axle is weak, it is a constant conversation piece between us and the Nissan engineers. We had 2 different Titans at Four Wheeler and we grenaded 2 diffs, one on each truck. They are putting way too much power through that diff for the tow rating. It reminds me of the last generation of Chevy trucks with the 350 and 8.5, if you did any towing you needed a diff rebuild at 60,000 miles on the dot. We replaced the rear end on the Project Tiatan with a Dynatrac 60 - no more problems.

Otherwise the Titan is a good truck, great powertrain and the Frontier currently has our vote as the best compact truck.

60k...........wow, most of the 10 bolt rear ends in the trucks that come in here are howlin and whining at 30k. lol fuckin GM. haha

Ganon.........BUCKLE UP........

Mid-August the new website launches with an array of Titan products. As for 1450, we feel it's about time to address the issue, once and for all. One season, one championship, and were out. Check the rearview in 2006.

As for you Spive, you may have threw us under the bus, but the freight trains comin....

ALL ABOARD

What website are you talking about?

If this is in regards to Four Wheeler's Project Frontier, that decision was made at a level far higher than me. I have noting against the quality of your products and there is no reason to call me out on the board for a business decision I didn't make. PM me if you have some probelm with me and we can take it off the board.

LOL, slurbonics in motion!!! (patiently awaiting my next tongue lashing PM!!&#33

If you have an issue with me, you can call me on my cell phone at _-____ and we can discuss it. I would hold off on calling me out in a public forum until you tell me what your beef is.

--Sean

If you get a call at 3am and you hear heavy breathing that’s just me. *

Yeah, i meant for that to be a PM. Sorry to anyone offended, Admin, please delete that post so I can handle that off the board, thanks.

Thats the problem I'm having right now. I am going to get one or the other soon, but I still haven't decided which one...of course it seems a lot cheaper to go route of F-150...

really i thought the titans were better priced? i am up int he air of selling my 97 ranger and buying a titan as my DD and buying a older ranger for cheao something i can learn to build on and then just using the titan to tow it.

I would be happy with either,but if the f-150 was cheaper,then id get that.One thing i like about the titan 4x4s is front And rear L/S.

i got my brand new titan with 10 miles on it for 23,000 out the door.the f-150 i was looking at was 27,000.

Nissan's pricing philosophy when the Titan came out was to right-price it out of the box. This meant tracking what the F-150s and competition actually sold for and price thier vehicle closer to the real-world transaction price w/o incentives. The problem is that people in the full-size truck market like incentives. Would you rather have a $27K F-150 you get $5000 in rebates on, or a $23K Titan? Pricing is all a game.

i got a 3,000 rebate on my titan

Yeah, now they offer rebates because Titans were not moving, and were not meeting sales expectations.
