owned a 2002 altima when i lived there, not a bad car (interior materials could have been better) and looked great compared to other cars in its class. i've heard that the new altima has addressed the interior shortcomings. i'm with rs73, i think it looks better than the g35 sedan. the coupe is a looker too, imho.

even the US maxima looks so much better than the Aus one, it's just not right

someone mentioned the tiida earlier, the Us get those but are called the versa/sentra in us, sentra has different frontbar i think and is like a mini maxima, versa is pretty much a tiida with a better frontbar looks wise imo

yeah: they gave me a sentra at the rental place when I went to the States at Christmas: I was a wee bit surprised, since I had ordered a Mustang... It was terrible: slow, abysmal handling, and the engine in mine was on the way out: started out idling slightly rough, and I gave it back with what sounded like a major bottom end problem: it also lost about 1/2 its power in the course of my 2 day relationship with it... Terrible little car.

I'd rather this:

Infinity Essence

http://www.autoblog.com/2009/03/03/geneva-...olls-out-its-e/

Powered by a twin-turbo, direct-injection 3.7-liter V6 and a new electric drive design dubbed "3D Motor", the Essence yields a combined 592 brake horsepower (434 via internal-combustion, 158 brake horsepower via the lithium-ion backed disc-shaped electric motor).

That's what happens when a V36 and 370Z mate ;) with a bit of GTR-esque engine thrown in for good measure

console looks like it was taken from a supra though lol

    • Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.
    • I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want. 
    • Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue. 
    • Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder
    • Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
