I bought this beauty from an org member moving back to Asia and so far all I've added are my Alessio wheels, it has the meridian package and the current mods are: Maxspeed springs with KYB GR2's, Frankencar SS cat back, Injen CAI, UDP, clear front corners, AE Maxima door sills, I plan on adding a Maxxtuning front lip with Stillen side skirts and tails, and a cattman y-pipe. Hope you like it.

Nice ride. Congrats. Very tasteful appearance mods.

You may want to consider headers and not the y-pipe. A y-pipe alone does not generate that much power on the 3.5. And the headers have the y-pipe as part of the package.

Thanks guys for the props, I'm looking forward to spending some time on a new scene with you 5th gen'rs and picking up some great new info, hope to be able help with some past experiences. I'm pretty up on the 300ZX BBK cobra rotor conversion as I did one on my 4th gen which I still haven't decided wether to transfer it to this car as my wheels require a pretty hefty 15mm spacer which really pushes the wheel out a long way. Just wondering how many people have gone from the 4th gen to something like this as I have done, because the more I drive it and learn more about it I'm realizing that this car is a fine example of Nissan engineers and designers etc who got together and said " okay lets take a great product like the 4th gen and improve it in every sense" I remember many things in my 4th gen and thinking " I wish they would have added this or that or changed this..... Now it's a case of "nice they did this and that and it's better!" Don't mind me I'm just really enjoying this car.

And to think I was debating spending a ton more money for a Altima SER, nice but the quality just isn't there, gotta love the Japanese fit and finish.
