Only other plans for it are Apexi Mufflers & NISMO suspension. I already modded the midpipe to a 2.5" pipe, so the mufflers will finish it off. Sad to say but this car performance wise, puts my car to shame. That 3.5 V6 motor is killer!
The Altima looks amazing, I would also add the oem spoiler:

it needs a drop IMO, my dad got an 2010 altima, and fore 2.4 that thing is pretty quick i dont like the transmission thought the CVT, sounds like the ting is broken lol
^ agree, cvt, wait.................. what?lol
Thx, yeah she doesnt like that spoiler though. She likes the SE-R spoiler better as do I. Prob get that one in the future.Quote:

Cotinuously Variable Trannsmission, Its the trannsmission with many different gears, the easitest way to explain it is that its like a bike it has different sprocket sizes that alternate. Shiftless basically, the are really confusing as hellQuote:

Altimas arent that fast. A mid 14sec pass is pretty good for a stock grocery getter, but nothing really to brag about. What is important is how well they take to performance mods?
Ahh ok, I remember now. Ive heard of them before, but forgot about em.Quote:

The drop in filter yieded better MPG, and a little extra torque at HWY speeds. IMO the motor doesnt need more than an intake and full exhaust i.e. Headers to mufflers. After that it'll have ample HP to keep a smile on my face for a four door grocery getter. But IMO Nissan's 3.5L V6 is one of the better engines out right now that has the best bang for your buck.Quote:

Its still a Nissan at the end of the day. The Mercedes is still a Mercedes, plus it can also be civil, and comfortable...and under the radar.Quote:

saving the best for last. I took this when the hood was off, lets a lot of light in there. As you can see the plastic power steering and coolant bottles are all gone, I bought two universal cylindrical canisters from ebay and then fabricated brackets, had fittings and brackets welded up, everything polished and the caps powdercoated. The washer bottle is out right now, im in process of spraying it black.

Says a guy with a 2.4L G...lol It will smoke the crap out of your G even with turbo on it..lmao. Just saying.Quote:

There's a turbo stage 2 for my Maxima that will push me over 400 whp easy, the down side is that it's over 4000K. I can keep up with 350Z and G35s now, specially now with my new Rays forged wheels.Quote:
