Total NEWB here
 

Hello all, I am a complete newbie when it comes to Nissans. I just got a management trainee position at Crown Nissan in Greensboro, N.C. And i figured that if I sell Nissan, I should drive Nissan. At first I wanted a 350Z but after I drove the max I was hooked. I immediately traded my '96 civic (no mods) *cough* PIECE OF CRAP *cough* and got a '04 3.5 SL shiftable automajik. I LOVE IT, and I wanna start modding ASAP. After reading over the forums I have come to the conclusion that my starters should be a front strut bar, CE y- pipe, and i chose the greddy SP-2 exhaust. Any advice to the newb??? suggestions?? questions??? comments?? concerns???? Pics coming soon, but you know what a smoke SL looks like anyhow. Any way, I donated b/c I love what the mods are doing with the site, and I look forward to talking to you all about nissans.....
Keep it rolling

---SMOKEY!

Welcome Smokey.

Read on, and do some searching for alot of answers. I would suggest the rear sway before the front.

"You know this man!"

welcome Smokey. take a look at this thread.. this covers most of our mods and installation pics.. click here for site..

any question just check us out here on the org, happy modding..

Watch out. If you mod it too much you may have to deny yourself the factory warranty. Immagine all the arguements you may end up having with yourself about warranty issues in the future. ;)

Glad to have you here - welcome to the 6th gen familia :)

Welcome, I've found some good info and good people on this site.

welcome to the family bro....

enjoy ur time and read on... :)

Stickies are your friend :hide:

Hi Mate ,

This a great place to start if you want to Mod up..

All the best and have fun... :russ:

Agree, do the rear first, it will have more anti-sway impact, then do the front. Also, order the Greddy SP-II and Y-Pipe together and have it installed together, it will definitely save you shop time as well as install cost. You should know how much those Stealerships charge. Also recommend an Injen (that's the brand) CAI "Cold Air Intake". What's the use of a great exhaust system if your car can only take little breaths. Good Luck, great choice, and welcome to the forum... :doublethu

PS it's summer time, recommend get some tint up, maxima's look slamin tinted...

Thanks guys, after review I think I am going w/ the tint 1st (since the dealership will put 30% on it for $100 and pass my inspections), but thats the last exterior thing...
1st rear sway, then front..........
then Injen CIA........
then CE Y-Pipe and Greddy SP-II....
thnx for all your help and advice... look forward to talking to you more. :greenboun

If you want a cheaper intake you can go with the Berk or the JWT popcharger. Intakes dont really give much power though,just more sound, the only one I think might give power is the JWT pop since the filter has such a huge surface area. Injen isnt worth the money IMO..

welcome!!! :ben:

If you can, you should paint the lower valience to match the body color. the car will look so much hotter!

Thanks Smokey, for asking the questions that I was going to ask!!Love the trenz grilles too. I think I am going for the exhaust and y pipe first.then CAI and last but not least the swaybars.

cool to see another fellow "evil" dealership guy out there that actually cares what he sells, welcome and good luck, Smoke is a beautiful color on the 6th gens, and somewhat rare on an 04, definatly do the suspension first, cars has plenty of go in it (esp. coming from a hondulll)

Welcome aboard!!!

Windows are being tinted as I type.... 30% front, and 5% in the back and around... I cannot wait to see it. Should be done in about 2 hours.... I will post again w/ details/.

two way communication...

Yeah guys..... no problem, if there is anything you wanna know, if I do not know, I can find out, feel free to ask away... although it might require a new topic. I will start.... how about "questions for the dealership" as the title?
