6th Gen v. 6.5 Gen Similarities/Differences
Saw another thread, reminds me of a thread I've always wanted to make.... A similarities and differences thread.
Similarities = Parts that are literally the same for 04-08
-Power Steering Pump
-Power Steering High Pressure hose
-Alternator
-Tail Lights
-Suspension Assembly (Struts, Control arms, etc)
-Front Sway Bar (Same as the L31 Altima also)
Differences = Parts that aren't the same over the 4 years, and may or may not fit
-Engine Block Upper Oil pan Differences (4spd = 6MT but =/= CVT which is unique so is the 5AT)
-Front Crossmember (According to my computer they are different with the oil pans on the transmission... So 4AT = 6MT, but the CVT and 5AT are unique... Part number wise...) [Unverified]
-Rear Crossmember (Same as the L31 Altima for 04-06 Maximas but there seems to be a difference in 07-08s) [Unverified]
-Fog Lights: The 6th gen has fog lights IN the head light, the two bottom lights are CORNER lamps / The 6.5 gen shares the same fog lights as the L32 Altima, B16 Sentra, and Rogue)
-Rear Sway Bar (There's a BIG difference MM wise for the 5AT's, the 5AT are bigger and is the same as the L31 SE-R's rear sway bar)
I'm tired, add more if you want, but PLEASE have proof, don't just say something because you saw or heard about it one time.
