Spring is here and I finally got some mods completed that I had on my list. I have to get some better pics of the car, just threw some together since I had it clean.

1. Progress rear sway bar
2. Progress springs installed.
3. Black front bumper insert painted silver to match the rest of the bumper.
4. New wheels
5. Nismo Intake

 

Looking good, what size wheels are those?

 

I stayed with the 18" wheels. Tires for 19 and 20's get a bit pricey.

 

Very nice, I'll have to keep an eye out for it around town!

 

Looking sharp. The 18s are lighter weight than 19 or 20 so u dont lose performance.

 

looks reall good man..

 

My 19's weigh in at about 20 lbs each.

 

Sounds good, also there will be a meeting in Denver in case you didn't hear about it.

19in at 20lbs, they are not normal chromed 19in wheels then. What kind do you have?

 

how do you like the nismo intake???

 

Rays, they are the upgraded rims offerred on the G35 coupe.

 

Jury is still out on that one. I haven't done a dyno with it. I don't think it sounds as vicious at the Fujita but you can definitely hear it and feel it when it kicks in.

According to this article: http://www.nissanperformancemag.com/.../nismo_intake/

"Not only does the NISMO intake for the Altima make power but it makes more power than any intake we've ever tested. How does 12.9 hp and 13.52 lb ft of torque at the wheels sound? Yeah, hard to believe but those are just the peak numbers. At 4800 RPM's the NISMO intake made 25.6 hp over stock and an astounding 28.11 lb ft more of torque. For once we're short on words about something. " ........Don't know how true that is of the Maxima since they tested it on an Altima. I think I will take out the "flying saucer filter though and see what happens.

 

nice i stayed with 18 too and i only need Progress Spring i don't know how to post picture in here if any one can tell me but i have some picture of my car here

 

I don't know if that's a good plan, unless it never rains over there, or you're planning to make provisions to make sure that water never gets near the intake. The whole point of the diverter is to grab any liquid/moisture that made it up that far and prevent it from getting through the throttle body and hydrolocking the **** out of your car.

But I know there are other people out here with Injen CAIs that don't have that filter and never had problems. You can try it and see what happens though...

 

Car looks nice Mike, whats the word on the Progress pieces. Any good? Im ready to lower mine soon and im still on the fence on what to get.



Car looks nice... Not feeling the stick on door handles though. Whats up with the bottle and the kitchen linoleum in the trunk? ...??

 

I'm liking the Progess equipment. I've hit a couple of left hand corners at a pretty good clip.......stayed rock solid on the road.

As far the flying saucer filter goes, I would have to really go through some deep water to submerge the filter. One bit of advice I did take was to leave the lower fender panel on. I had contemplated taking it off.

 

Excellent, way to represent...

 

thats some nice 75 shot wet but shhhhhhhh don't tell any one
