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

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
