Your dealer should definitely be able to do it for you. Mine did not charge me. It only takes them a few minutes and is reversible. If you search the forum there are screen captures here somewhere of the submenus the technician will have to enter to switch off ANC and ASE. I printed those and gave them to the tech so he knew exactly where to look.
I get it. They should be able to do it. That doesn't mean they are able or willing though. I am leaning towards getting my own setup to interface the ECU and do it myself. Pretty tired of dealing with incompetent service departments. The calls I had on this topic with my local service department made me never want to take my car there for anything. The service advisor kept saying "uhh...what?" when I was explaining (clearly) what I wanted. He then left me on hold for a half hour before hanging up on me. Twice.

Thanks! I'll check them out, looking for a square set 18x10.5 mainly, offsets 30 or less positive.
Maybe run a spacer at the rear. With +30 offset, the wheel is a bit tucked inside.

For that width, +22 to +25 would be ideal, and I prefer not to use any spacers, a compromise.

Made it 23 years since my last one. 😣 A Tacoma was literally passing me when we got clocked, but I got the blue lights. AND, my wife was in the car, so I got shamed in stereo; both ears, from her and the cop.

So I got the Stillen Competition exhaust installed on the Nismo!

The exhaust system for all 9AT automatics is freaking light. All 3 pieces added up to 35lbs!!! My Stillen was 38 lbs

I just ordered the Stillen competition exhaust. Dang, looks like I'm gonna have to drop 3 pounds of fat to be back in spec!

Yes the stock automatic exhaust is the lightest oem exhaust I've ever dealt with that has dual tips.

So, the Stillen exhaust was only about 3 pounds heavier by your findings? I guess that's not too bad at all. Where there any weird vibrations or sound after install?

At first there was but proper installation is key. I had to adjust the rear section a bit.

Made it to 3k with all the fenders still intact. My daily commute has become a real joy.
