I'm looking for a little input from anyone
who owns a 2000 and up with different intakes
and front strut tower bars. I'm not sure
which brand or company to go with. I've
searched the org for all the different threads
but I can't seem to come up with a conclusion.
These are my next two mods and I'm looking to
do them as soon as possible. I don't want to
go with the cold air intake, so if anyone has
any advice for me, please feel free to post it.
If you do know where I could get these parts
cheaper, I would appreciate the link. Also if
you know of any stores I can shop around in, in
NY, that will also be helpful.

I'm really looking for quality products, but
I'm not looking to spend top dollar. I have
a Stillen body kit on my car, so I guess it
may make sense to go with Stillen all the way
around, but I've read a few things that Courtesy
may be better, I don't know which way to go.

Thanks for your help.

Howie

BROKE DOWN AND ORDERED CAN USE SOME HELP....

Called Courtesy Nissan and ordered a FSTB
and a (JTW OR JWT)pop charger the guy I spoke to
said there were no pictures or directions to follow.
I am wondering if I should be worried about the
install. I am moderately mechanical do you think
I will be able to figure it out?
Are there any posts on the install of this
pop charger and or the FSTB for the 2000.
I should get them by Tuesday.
Does anyone know if I can follow these directions?
http://grprete.jnet.net/Greg's%20Gar...0High-Flow.htm

Is the Stillen air filter similar to the JTW?
And do the surrounding parts match from the 2000 to 1999?
Same goes for my FSTB can I use 1999 directions although that seems pretty simple?

http://grprete.jnet.net/Greg's%20Gar...er%20Brace.htm

Also still looking to sell my AE auto shifter
(still in the box).

Thank You all for your responses in advance.

If you wanna save money, cancel or return your popcharger and I'll sell you mine $80 shipped. It only has 10k miles on it and I recently cleaned the filter.

Hey Y2KevSE..............

Thanks for all the input guys.
Going to stick with the parts I
already ordered. As for the
price I am asking for the
AE shifter, I want whatever
my girlfriend paid for it from
Dave B. at South Point Nissan.
No more, no less.
It was a gift from her.
That money is going
toward a my new gifts
and the easier install. (hopefully)

Hey Kev
you now have both
front and rear clear markers?
Do you have any problems
with them?
Looking to order those next.
What do those marker bulbs go for? (blueish right)
Got any new pics of both markers?
Day or night?
