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

    • I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!  
    • Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
    • I'd say it's a fair bet that the feed and return fluid lines will be in different enough spots that you would need to come up with a way to cut the originals short and adapt with new hard line adaption or braided teflon hoses or somesuch. But really, you have the car, you have the photos of the DMAX rack - you should be able to go out there and see for yourself whether they're in the same or different spots.
    • I've been doing some looking around and honestly was just considering throwing a new rack at it. I saw that the dmax silvia rack bolts up into the 33 with the silvia bushings but not sure if the high pressure lines will sit in the correct spot. I believe other version of the 33 rack are the same/similar to the racks that can be opened up without as much fuss so I assume the dmax rack would fit but any ideas?
    • I've never played with one, but I would expect that you are correct. That slot looks like it is intended to be used to unscrew the end, and the flats on the body would be better than grabbing it around the round bit with a pipe wrench. So, yeah, probably unscrews. You'll probably have to make a tool to drive in that slot.
